1. Client Overview

• Niche: Dogs and Pets

• Target Market: USA

• Duration: 6 Months

Key Objectives and Challenges:
The client wanted to grow their dog-related website organically and build a trustworthy brand in the U.S. market. They aimed to drive consistent traffic from Google, improve visibility for pet care-related keywords, and convert pet enthusiasts into loyal readers and customers.

2. Problem Statement

SEO Challenges Before Starting the Work:

No Organic Presence:
Before the SEO efforts began, the website had almost zero presence on search engines. Target keywords weren’t ranking, resulting in minimal visibility.

Low User Engagement:
The CTR was under 1%, and users weren’t clicking on the few search listings that appeared. The content wasn’t attractive or optimized for user intent.

Thin or Unoptimized Content:
There was no structured blog strategy. Existing posts were lacking keyword relevance and SEO structure (titles, headings, meta, internal links).

Technical SEO Issues:
We identified missing meta tags, poor mobile experience, slow load speed, and improper indexing — all affecting crawlability and user experience.

No Backlink Profile:
There were no authority links pointing to the website, making it difficult to compete with established pet blogs.

3. Strategy & Implementation

SEO Tactics Used:

In-Depth Keyword Research:
We researched informational, transactional, and long-tail pet care keywords. Special focus was given to low-competition, high-volume keywords like “dog training tips,” “healthy dog food,” etc.

Content Strategy:
We created SEO-optimized blog posts targeting dog nutrition, care, breed-specific queries, and trending pet topics. All posts followed a topical cluster model to build relevance.

On-Page SEO:
Title tags, meta descriptions, heading structure (H1-H3), alt text, and URL structures were optimized. Internal linking was implemented to guide users and bots effectively.

Technical Fixes:
Site speed was improved, mobile responsiveness was fixed, broken links were removed, and the site was made crawlable using an updated sitemap and robots.txt file.

Backlink Building:
We acquired quality backlinks via guest posting, pet blog collaborations, and niche-relevant directories.

Tools Used:

• Google Search Console – to track performance metrics

• Google Analytics – for engagement tracking
