Challenges.....

One of the SEO Cyprus Project Ecomelani challenges was that the site is huge, too many products, too many categories and there was not clear strategy on what pages were created and where. The menu was so messed up that it took us very long to understand what we need to correct and how!

And the business was losing sales because many product could NOT be found! The only way was with the codes or the URL of the page!

A very serious issue was that to create a certain design they left many pages empty that were returning “soft 404”

Moreover, Google My Business, which is the most important platform when it come to local ranking got DISABLED.

SEO Cyprus Project Further improvements and challenges!

Search Engine Optimization is an ongoing process. As search engines do all the time updates, so should websites. 

Ecomelani is a huge site with more than 1500 products pages. Moreover, photos were uploaded without being web converted. 

Another challenge is the content. Each product should have unique content. Furthermore, blog articles are needed to support at least important pages!
