Project analytics prior to collaboration:
Project Visibility:
The metrics presented—visibility 0, estimated search traffic 105, and 202 organic keywords—offer a more detailed view of a website's search engine optimization performance. By evaluating these metrics, one can gain a more comprehensive understanding of the website's SEO performance.
Conclusion from our SEO specialist
Visibility score: 0
A visibility score of 0 indicates that the website is not visible in the top search results for targeted keywords on major search engines such as Google. This is of significant importance, as search engine visibility is a fundamental aspect of generating organic traffic. A score of 0 indicates that the site’s content may require optimization or that the site is new and has not yet been properly indexed by search engines.
Low visibility has a direct impact on a website’s ability to attract organic traffic. This results in the website failing to attract potential visitors who are searching for related topics or services.
Estimated search traffic: 105
This metric indicates that the website receives approximately 105 visits per month from organic search. Despite a visibility score of 0, the website still receives some traffic, which may come from long-tail keywords or from certain niches where competition is lower.
This demonstrates that search engine optimization is still effective in generating traffic to the website. It is also important to consider the quality of this traffic. If these visitors are highly engaged or converting at a high rate, even a low volume of such traffic can be valuable.
Organic keywords: 202
The presence of 202 organic keywords for which the website is ranking demonstrates the breadth of content that has been indexed by search engines. This is a positive indicator that the website has a diverse range of content that has the potential to attract visitors.
A broad set of keywords on a website is an indicator of potential for increased SEO performance. To achieve this, it is necessary to increase the rankings for these keywords and improve visibility.
Traffic analysis:
Conclusion:
There is a notable decline in organic search traffic, which has reached a very low level. The lack of significant traffic to the website is a consequence of the absence of search engine optimization (SEO). A website that is not optimized for search engines may not meet the ranking criteria set by search algorithms. This can result in a decline in the website’s position in search results and, consequently, a reduction in traffic.
The lack of positive dynamics in traffic growth is a concern. To address the stagnation of traffic from search engines, we recommend the following actions:
- Improve the quality of content on your website, making it more useful and interesting for users.
- Optimize your website for search engines by following the most effective SEO practices.
- Eliminate technical errors.
- Expand the number of commercial landing pages to boost organic search traffic.
Keyword distribution by position:
Conclusion:
The metrics provided offer a comprehensive overview of a website’s performance in search engines based on its ranking for specific queries (keywords) across various levels (TOP-1, TOP-3, TOP-5, TOP-20 and TOP-100). The following outlines how each level is reflected in SEO performance and what it means for the website:
- The first position in the output is of significant value, as it accounts for the majority of hits on search queries related to this keyword. The project has only one query in the TOP 1, indicating that it receives minimal traffic from search.
The position of a query in the search results has a significant impact on visibility. The first page of Google, particularly the first five results, receives the majority of clicks. Typically, the first result accounts for 30-35% of all clicks, and this decreases dramatically as you move down the page. To maximize visibility, it is critical to be in the top three results.
The opinion of the search engine optimization specialist at RegisTeam
Strategy recommendations for this project:
- Focusing on user experience (UX): Google’s algorithm updates are becoming increasingly focused on user experience, including page speed, mobile-friendliness, and interactivity. Improving these aspects can positively impact rankings, leading to increased traffic.
- Content depth and quality: The creation of high-quality, comprehensive content that responds deeply to user queries can positively impact search engine rankings and attract more clicks, particularly for long-tail keywords.
- Continuous optimization: SEO is an ongoing process. To maintain and improve search engine traffic to your website, it is necessary to optimize content, update old posts, and adhere to the best SEO practices.
Team actions
Project Problematics:
- Lack of semantic core to promote the website in search results:
While gathering semantics for the promoted website, RegisTeam’s SEO team focused on keywords related to their main offerings: “co-working spaces,” “meeting rooms,” “office rentals,” “creative studios,” and “workspace passes.” In addition, the SEO team focused on location-related terms to reflect the company’s global reach.
Example of the developed semantic core for the current project:
Project Problematics:
- Presence of implicit takes:
Duplicate extensions were detected:
site.com/index.html
site.com/page///
Terms of reference:
Duplicate pages are detected by the slash character (/). To resolve this issue, please configure the Redirect with regular expressions in the .htaccess file (note that this solution may not be effective in all cases. In such instances, the software engineer will select the most suitable variant):
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\?
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\&
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\=
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ![^\/]$
RewriteRule ^(.*)\/$ /$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /index\.(php|html|htm)\ HTTP/
RewriteRule^(.*)index\.(php|html|htm)$ http://site.ru/$1 [R=301,L]
Project Problematics:
- Lack of metadata optimization on commercial pages:
Once the semantics collection phase was complete, the team began optimizing metadata on the pages. An example of the work completed:
Project Problematics:
- Lack of a clearly defined structure of commercial pages:
A SEO specialist has developed the structure of the pages. The first screencap is an SEO-optimized h1 header on all pages of the website. An example of implementation is provided below:
The guidelines were developed for implementing a functional search that utilizes separation by room type. Example of implementation:
To enhance indexing and ensure proper implementation of linking within the website, we developed recommendations for displaying a block with links on the page, for example, for the most popular places for co-working. Example of implementation:
Reviews represent a crucial commercial element, offering one of the most effective levers of marketing. It is an effective means of promoting the website. For this reason, we have included a block with reviews on each page.
It is recommended that each page include a FAQ block, with unique answers and questions for each page. The implementation of this block has enabled us to increase the density of the main key on the page. Example of the block:
How much does a co-working space in +city costs?
How does a co-working space in +city operate?
Who would benefit from a coworking space in +city?
What is a co-working space in +city?
The development of additional pages, expansion of the website structure and words by which it is ranked, provides an opportunity to implement separate pages not only by country or region, but also by neighborhood. This will help to generate additional traffic on low-frequency queries. Example of implementation:
