Approach

Our initial emphasis, spanning a period of two months, was on devising the strategy, refurbishing the website, and outlining all aspects related to SEO. The execution of the SEO strategy was initiated in September.

The first step was to understand the website’s purpose and potential competitors, as the motto was to address men’s issues, which were not widely discussed. I analyzed the keywords and topics, as well as the competitors’ strategies. Initially, they were writing blogs without keywords or structure, so I introduced content ideas such as men’s product reviews, helpful resources, and directories of relevant links.

Given the content-heavy nature of the website, I decided to migrate it from Wix to WordPress, which is an ideal platform for blogs. We selected a theme and redesigned the site. As time passed, we decided to overhaul the site again, making it more structured and impressive.

The first task was to identify the relevant keywords that MenPsyche should rank for. I identified clusters of words that were repeatedly mentioned by the client, such as men’s health, help, guide and support. We aimed to provide content that would help men improve their health, lifestyle, and relationships, and provide resources and directories of helpful links. I conducted keyword research to identify long-tail and short-tail keywords that were directly related to the site’s purpose. I analyzed the monthly search volume, competition level, and existing articles ranking on those keywords. I reviewed the content of those articles and decided to create content that was 10 times better.

The next step was to assign the writing task to the client. I shared the reference articles with them, so they knew the standard they needed to surpass. The client writers produced long and valuable blog posts for the selected keywords. I conducted on-page SEO optimization of the blogs, ensuring the technical elements, meta descriptions, and header tags were optimized. Within 3-4 months, Menpsyche started ranking on Google for those keywords.

Obviously, it isn’t as easy as it may sound right now. A lot of other factors were taken care of; that are not easy to describe here.
