The biggest challenge was increasing the site ranking and reaching their potential clients – manufacturers, seller and buyers - who live in all four corners of the world and everywhere in between. The Client asked us to promote their web site into the major search engines and directories. The challenge was to list and achieve top ranking with their most popular keywords.

Solution


At Q3 we specialize in developing search engine compatible web sites and online identities that not only receive substantial traffic, but also convert that traffic into profits. With our team's in-depth knowledge and rich experience we worked out a systematic and methodical plan that could promote our client to the top search engine placement in more of their keyword categories. We identified and analyzed popular keywords which are fit for their online services and can give targeted traffic for their B2B Portal. Our team did competitors site's study and work out unique search engine optimization and placement strategy to achieve top ranking for the web site.

 

First, we worked with the client to identify and develop "power words, key phrases" that are most relevant to their Services. Then we suggested changes in the web pages and revised the navigation system of the client to reflect the chosen keywords before re-submitting the site to targeted search engines. To assess the effectiveness of our hard work and to strategize additional SEO tactics, we continually analyzes web site's ranking on an engine-by-engine basis to examine the algorithms each search engine used to rank Web sites and the results achieved. We optimized existing web pages with various techniques and made them search engine friendly. Our team made some little changes in the content of web site for higher ranking. We worked systematically and methodically on each phase and delivered a reliable solution.

Customer Speaks

blockquote In this difficult economic environment, Symfo decided to outsource one of its most critical developments to Q3 Tech. We were definitely reluctant doing so at the beginning of the project. But rapidly we understood that Q3 had the necessary skills and professionalism to bring the project to a successful realization. It was not always easy primarily because of the differences of culture. However once we understood each other, things went much better. We also understood that such a difficult project needed intense communications between Q3 and our company. Our company works on two time zones (Europe and East Coast North America) and we were amazed by the availability of the Project Manager and his team. It really contributed improving communications between us.

Phase I of our product is now ready and we are quite happy with it. We are definitely ready to start Phase II with Q3 and we highly recommend them.blockquote
