THE PROJECT

– International SEO
– Development (Web Design and Web Application)

As a digital marketing agency for the metalworking sector, we have identified for Faca a lead generation strategy that included two macro areas of intervention: development work (Web Design and CRO) supported by a content optimization strategy aimed at achieving the best positioning on search engines (multilingual SEO).
In detail, the works of Web Design and CRO (Conversion Rate Optimization) were addressed at first to the Italian-language company website Faca.it, published many years ago and became obsolete for the main devices, as well as very lacking in terms of appeal for the end user. We started from a graphic and structural restyling of the site, which made it responsive and compatible with the standards for mobile.

The most interesting intervention has been made on the content front. First, wide visibility was given to the entire Faca product catalog, first bound in a marginal position and now the real fulcrum of the site: it was divided into micro and macro categories that improve the browsing experience and, above all, ad hoc calls to action were inserted to guide the visitor towards the request for information on Faca’s products, thus generating a commercial lead.

The work described above was also carried out for the other language versions. At the same time, the SEO setup was started, entering the heart of Search Marketing. First, for each reference market, the research trends and the online activities of the main competitors of the company were analyzed.Later, the selection phase of the keywords was carried out with meticulous attention, using tools like Google Instant and related searches as well as professional SEO tools like Semrush.
