SEO Case Study
Website Migration & Onsite Optimization
TOMS was looking for an agency to help optimize their newly designed website and to preserve their organic rankings upon launch. With the ultimate goal of ranking higher for not only brand terms but generic terms as well, they needed an agency who could assist with the transition to the new site, handle high volume traffic issues (due to national TV commercial) and also manage ongoing search engine optimization after the launch to grow their stature in the search engines. Specifically, the following initiatives were performed:
"If you are looking for help with your SEO and PPC, I highly recommend that you speak with Wpromote. Their technical knowledge and commitment to service makes them an ideal partner."

Strategic Link Building
A comprehensive link building campaign was developed to increase the site’s popularity within the search engines.

These badges successfully generated new inbound links with proper structure and anchor text keywords to TOMS, giving them more authority and better rankings in the search engines.
