SEO Case Study: Lightbulb Company UK

Client: www.thelightbulb.co.uk

Business Description: The LightBulb Company is one of the major light bulb and lamp dealers in the United Kingdom, offering some of the most competitive prices in the industry. Part of its marketing strategy was to develop an online sales channel to help leverage its brick and mortar presence, in order to maximize sales. Unfortunately, prior to Metamend the site was performing poorly in the major search engines for the most traffic rich, competitive keywords and phrases.
