Our Approach

SEO Audit and Strategy

We ran a comprehensive Site Audit through SEMrush and found a lot of worrying statistics, such as the amount of broken links throughout the site, the number of internal links that contain "no-follow" attribute and a big amount of low-quality and toxic backlinks coming from non-indexed websites.

We also created a complete SEO strategy based on our findings after the Competitive analysis and the SEO audit reports.

Technical SEO Fixes

During our Technical audit we found a number of critical errors such as, broken links (69), outgoing internal links with no-follow tag (29) 301 Redirects (769) and resolved a number of redirect loops. Also we found over 7,000 images not being optimised.

After we've optimised all of their images and resolved all critical technical problems, their Site Health Score changed from 63% to 85%.

Competitive Analysis and On-Page SEO Improvements

During the competitive analysis, we discovered a number of direct competitors who were ranking well and had a seamless customer journey.

Alongside creating the right heading structure, adding schema markup, improving internal linking and adding more on-page elements, we also re-designed a key page to set the tone for the rest of their pages.

Our Recommendations and Team Training

Based on all information gathered during the competitive analysis, the site audit, and all on-page and technical SEO improvements, we summarised and presented an SEO strategy that can completely transform Golf Planet Holidays over time.

As part of our agreement, we prepared a training plan for the admin staff and business manager who wanted to get involved with the on-page SEO and were willing to learn how to avoid technical errors in the future.

The Results

Following our technical and on-page SEO improvements, Golf Planet Holidays experienced a significant boost in website performance. Their Site Health Score improved from 63% to 85%, enhancing crawlability and user experience. By optimising internal linking, metadata, and content structure, their pages became more search-friendly. The client now has a clear SEO strategy in place, and their team is equipped with the knowledge to maintain and enhance their site’s SEO over time.
