Ecommerce and marketing agency Eastside Co took on an extremely challenging eCommerce platform migration for a high-profile global brand. It came out on top with SEO results worth shouting about.
Any website migration is an SEO risk because of the disruption caused to the site’s relationship with search engines.”
– SEO Director Will King
However, due to the diligent and professional work carried out by the team of SEO experts within the agency, this high-stakes migration not only produced minimal disruption to both organic traffic and keyword rankings but also provided results that far exceeded the client’s expectations.
This particular brand demonstrated a complex user journey and a multi-layer relationship between how search engines interact with the site, and how users navigate through the purchase funnel.
Eastside Co-created a personalized SEO strategy which allowed them to focus on key aspects like maintaining rankings and organic traffic whilst also setting their sights on boosting these key metrics.
