Being prepared for random events
Service: Combined SEO and PPC
Strategy: Use both the individual and combined capabilities of SEO and PPC to build up a general presence (especially brand name recognition) in the search engines, as well as placement for a number of specific terms.
Effect: A solid foundation of SEO strength was built, which delivered a consistently growing amount of impressions and clicks. This was the situation when a one-time event delivered an incredible short-term boost in traffic.
Result: Because of the solid base, traffic after the “boost” dropped, but remained far above the pre-boost level.
TERMS
SEO Strength: A combination of both good position (high rankings) and traffic (website visits) from organic searches.
Impressions: The amount of times a website is listed in the search results.
Clicks: The amount of user visits to the website, based on a search result listing.
Boost: Substantial, short-term increase in website visits, generally in response to high-profile news.
