Client Background
Before Working With Us
This business specialises in providing exquisitely designed curtains and blinds throughout Singapore.
- They aren’t very digitally savvy back in 2019
- Back in 2015, they were pretty good at SEO, which brought them most of their leads. This was done by a friend as a freelance project.
- However, their friend got too busy with his job, and SEO was eventually dropped, neglected. The #1 rankings they used to have was not maintained
- With rising competition and changes in SEO algorithm changes, their rankings dropped to Page 2 and Page 3
- Only 1% of searches go to pages 2 and 3. Because of this, their internet visibility has gone down, and their leads dropped sharply.

The Behind The Scenes Work
Our SEO Analysis
SEO Keyword Research:
Using Google Keyword Planner, we looked into local SEO and found that more than 3,000 people search for the client’s chosen keywords every month. Getting into the top three results could bring between 700 and 1000 more people to the client’s site every month.
If 50 to 60 requests were made for every 1000 visitors, it could be a big deal for their business. With this knowledge, it was clear that a good SEO investment and plan could bring in a revenue for a business.
SEO Audit:
Our detailed SEO audit unearthed several critical issues. The site was grappling with poor technical structure, not adapted to the modern SEO standards set by Google’s algorithm updates.
- Lack Of Single Service Pages: Google’s updated algorithm prefers each service to have its individual page. The client’s different curtains and blinds offerings were all clustered on one page, a structure that was harming their SEO rank.
- Poor Content Depth: Inadequate content depth was another significant issue. With an average of only 200 to 300 words per page, the client’s website fell short of the 800+ words standard required from the latest algorithm changes, negatively impacting their SEO and search rankings.
- High Toxicity Backlink Score: From our link analysis, a high toxicity score was detected. This was attributed to outdated backlinking strategies, now viewed as toxic and low-quality by Google’s standards, further pulling down the site’s ranking.
Why Did Their Rank #1 In 2015 Disappeared?
The above three key issues were the culprits behind the sharp drop in their SEO rankings, resulting from a lack of maintenance and updates in alignment with Google’s changing algorithms.
The direct consequence was a noticeable decline in business (Drop in 80% of monthly leads), underscoring the need for immediate and informed intervention.
This could have been averted if they had engage a professional SEO agency in Singapore to maintain their SEO and keep their efforts up to date with algorithm. It had cost them 6 digits of business opportunities.
