Project Background
Physical Gold approached SEO Positive in mid-2010 searching for fully integrated online marketing solutions.
The company initially contracted SEO Positive to design and build its brand new website, yet once this work was complete, Physical Gold were confident that effective SEO would boost their organic search engine rankings.
The team at Physical Gold were looking for a partner that would be able to devise a hard-hitting strategy to turn site footfall into real revenue for the business.

- To maximise potential of prominent internal pages
- To increase exposure in both Google UK and Yahoo UK
Our Solutions

- Carry out a full usability audit and test the overall performance of the website
- Discuss and implement effective site changes, including exaggerating calls to action and rectifying browser and usability issues
- Implement a multi-tiered campaign and adjust the approach according to tested performance
- Focus on a steady, natural link strategy to cement first-page positions in the longer term
- Work to complement accompanying Pay Per Click advertising campaigns
- Meet and consult with the client regularly to establish a long-lasting relationship

This is driving a substantial amount of relevant traffic to their site and the company also experiences great interest from Yahoo.
