GETTING STARTED

The Challenge


Having been negatively impacted by the Google Medic Update, Chemist Direct had worked with a string of other agencies to identify a solution.

The negative impact of the Google Medic Update was seen throughout all top level metrics including traffic, sales and revenue.

With the Medic Update being based around Expertise, Authority and Trust metrics, it was clear that they were being penalised for poor E.A.T optimisation.

WHAT WE DID

Our Strategy


Our understanding of the medic update made us focus on the quality of content on the website. We quickly found that there was an old blog that was filled with out of date and poor quality content.

Poor quality content was de-indexed from Google’s databases and content that dealt with over the counter medication or medical conditions was re-written to be longer, addressing questions that users have ( based off of key-term research) and to link off to authoritative websites.

Performance

The Results


Within days of starting to work on the site, we were able to see significant gains as our actions aligned up with an update to Google’s Algorithm. By the end of the first quarter of us working with Chemist Direct we were able to achieve:
  • Increased Organic Transactions by 62%
  • Increased Organic Session by 47%
  • Increased Revenue from sales by 75%
