Challenges

  • After cycling through various SEO firms and seeing no good results, CCC decided to choose our professional SEO services.
  • Their website got penalized by Google’s June 2019 Core algorithm update so we needed to identify the causes and rectify them.
  • Many numbers of low-quality backlinks were created by previous SEO companies and that was a major reason behind their downfall in Google search results.
  • We found duplicate content in huge quantities on their site, which was another big challenge limiting their ability to grow online.
  • As a leading cannabis company, they offer several medical marijuana treatments, so we needed to create separate landing pages to boost their rankings on major search engines.
  • They had many broken links which were continually drowning down the performance in search engines.
  • Their website pages took more than 15 seconds to load which is why readers went back to the SERP more frequently.
  • Along with these above major obstacles and issues we had to work on building high-quality backlinks to improve organic performance.
