Challenge:

DFI contacted eBrandz to improve their search engine presence to increase flight bookings. The site had no position for important keywords at all. This was quite obvious since the site’s architecture and link structure did not comply with search engine guidelines. The domain name redirected to an internal directory. The URLs had been built dynamically.

Solution:

We had several conversations with the client to have the site made search engine friendly. The dynamic URLs were converted into static. The redirect was removed and we added a lot of keyword-rich content. Our consultation included a recommendation on adding content regularly, which is still being followed. Once the site architecture improvements had been made, we built in the best SEO practices including meta tags, on-page code optimization, link popularity development, implementation of Web 2.0 tactics, and other body optimization.
