SEO Strategy
Currently www.logmax.ca has almost no ranking in any popular search engine for “harvesting heads” and other related keywords that are pertinent to your industry.
The target will be to have you positioned at the top 5 results in Google search for your main keywords “harvester heads” and “forestry attachments” and other logging equipment related keywords in your areas. With that you will be right in position with your other competitors online: Waratah, John Deere, PONSSE; and into your customers mind when they are looking around online for harvesting heads.
The popular search terms seem to be pretty narrow making it easier to target the whole web site to fewer terms more successfully.
From the limited data available to assess the precise situation, we believe that we can get you to the first page in search engines especially Google.ca for “harvester heads” in 1 - 6 months. Higher goals can be set (AB, USA,...) after evaluating the competition and our performance against the competition. This ultimate goal we plan to achieve in 2 stages that can be seen as benchmarks to move to more competitive goals and expand the reach of your brand, to get the name out to more potential customers.
Stage 1
Stage 1 target can be completed in the first 3 months or less to reach the projected targets. Stage 1 will see results in the not so competitive keywords such as “best harvesting heads” “harvesting heads” will have the target areas for both web sites split up so they don’t compete with each other in order to reach the targets faster.
SEO Target Areas:
www.logmax.ca 1. BC 2. Alberta 3. Saskatchewan 4. Canada
Google.com
6
Keyword Targets
Top position for all keywords and phrases, (all tracked regularly) on Google.com, Google.ca and other relevant search engines. Top 3 for “harvester heads” and variations thereof.
With careful tweaking and ongoing optimization we should be able to get you into 1st and 2nd spot for many keywords in Canada.
Guaranteed results
Top 5 position for: harvester heads
•
harvesting heads
•
We may use the same phrases but with “harvester heads or harvesting heads” depending on search popularity the targets will be refined.
Stage 2
Stage 2 should be accomplished in 12-18 months or less. This will have your web site rank on first page for logging equipment related keywords in Canada and North America such as “harvester heads”
Keyword Targets
We will see a first page result in Google.com and Google.ca as a success.
With this strategy you will get much more online exposure to promote your brand and you will be able to generate new leads and increase the comfort level of your existing clients with being on top of your game, as well as increase your market share in the industry.
The increase your Google ranking will bring to traffic to your site and promote your brand to people who are interested in “harvest heads”.
This is a linear process and you will see an improvement in stats and ranking almost continuously.
If we fail to meet our targets you will receive a 50% discount until they are met. Further marketing strategies online and offline will be discussed with you on a regular basis you increase your market share.
We recommend a mid level SEO package.
