Challenges
Challenge/Pain Point/Issue:
PayMore had minimal continuity across their GBP (Google Business Profiles) because it was managed by individual franchises. This led to incorrect information, incomplete, and poorly optimized profiles. In some cases, description keyword stuffing ‘practices’ led to Google penalties. And nearly every PayMore location had at least one spam listing near or above them in search, pushing their GBP’s lower in the rankings.
Local content was nonexistent, with the exception of a few hastily produced pages on the main domain. Not much work was being done on the local store subdomains, resulting in a lack of hyper-local traffic to priority pages. Overall, PayMore’s websites (main and subdomains) lacked a structured content strategy, leading to a scattered approach where they experimented with various ideas.
Main Domain
The website’s design was inadequately optimized for necessary conversions. Calls-to-action lacked enticing verbiage and buttons were getting lost on the page.
Strategy
Google Business Profiles
Developed an optimized GBP strategy for 30+ locations, including :
- Default primary and secondary categories
- Tracking URLs to provide clear data in GA4
- Template for store descriptions
- Scheduled monthly posts
- Reported spam listings
Backlink Profiles
We focused on enhancing their online visibility by meticulously working on their backlink profile. Our team identified high-authority sites relevant to Paymore’s industry and implemented a strategic citation-building campaign. By securing quality backlinks, they were positioned for stronger domain authority and higher rankings.
Content Strategy
Along with initial on-page optimization, Amplifyed developed a content strategy targeting higher-volume “metro” keywords centered around large cities surrounding each location. The strategy also included target keywords for devices PayMore deemed “high priority”. By focusing our content on devices with great margins and overall popularity, we aimed to increase high-impact sales and store visits.
