SEO Case Study – Principal Landscapes

Initial Challenges

When Principal Pools + Landscapes came to us, they were facing several key hurdles that were limiting their digital growth:

• Underwhelming organic traffic: The website wasn’t generating the amount of traffic needed for consistent business expansion.
• Poor search rankings: Many important keywords were ranking on lower search result pages, reducing their visibility and conversion opportunities.
• Limited online presence: Principal Pools + Landscapes wanted to increase their brand’s exposure within their target market.

Our SEO Strategy

To address these challenges and drive results, we designed a custom SEO campaign for Principal Pools + Landscapes, concentrating on three core aspects:

1. Keyword Identification and Optimization
   We carried out extensive keyword research to identify key search terms that could drive quality traffic to the site. These included both primary and long-tail keywords such as “Landscape Designers Perth,” “Pool Landscaping Perth,” and “Landscapers Perth.”
   The website’s primary pages were optimized, focusing on meta tags, on-page content, and keyword integration.
2. Technical and On-Site SEO Upgrades
   A detailed technical SEO audit revealed a number of issues that needed to be resolved, including:
   • Improving page load times
   • Enhancing mobile friendliness
   • Optimizing internal links and fixing broken links
     After making these changes, we further optimized the site’s on-page elements to align with search engine algorithms and enhance user experience.
3. Content Creation and Backlink Acquisition
   To build authority and attract traffic, we implemented a comprehensive content strategy. This included regular blog articles, project updates, and enhanced service pages tailored to target user search intent.
   A strategic outreach campaign was also developed to secure high-quality backlinks from trusted websites in relevant industries.
