SEO Inc. had the privilege of being asked to participate in a groundbreaking third-party case study on organic search engine optimization conducted by Frost & Sullivan. The result of Frost’s research included an in-depth white paper discussing the SEO industry and practices that lead to successful campaigns, as well as a case study of one of our top clients, Entrepreneur Magazine.
Entrepreneur wanted to increase their online traffic. With a massive number of articles that were not indexed, SEO was the best tactic to accomplish this goal. Entrepreneur needed an SEO strategy and action plan to implement it technically.
When Entrepreneur examined their online content, only 5% of their website had any search engine optimization implemented. Optimizing Entrepreneur’s main content and the million-plus article archive for search would be monumental. SEO Inc. discovered the challenge of the site’s platform, Vignette Story Server, an outdated CMS that was unoptimizable as all pages were created dynamically on the fly.
SEO Inc. devised a plan and developed a strategy for Entrepreneur to optimize the main content, including all current and past article archives, programmatically at the database level. In doing this, SEO Inc. illustrated an unmatched expertise regarding methodology and strategy that other SEO Companies lacked in their technical capabilities.
SEO Inc. proposed a three-stage plan to Entrepreneur. Stage 1 consisted of optimizing all the main web pages. Stage 2 consisted of optimizing all the articles. Finally, stage 3 consisted of integrating SEO into the business processes at Entrepreneur. Presenting this material in a stage-gate scenario provided Entrepreneur with a more precise road map, complete with milestones to their paramount goal: a consistent flow of new, optimized online content that would continue to bolster the strong position Entrepreneur’s pre-existing online assets already had accomplished.
The ROI of the stage 1 activities has been astronomical. In a typical month since the Optimization process has taken place, Entrepreneur has seen an estimated return of over 2 million dollars PER MONTH (calculated by determining the revenue from an additional number of click-throughs since they began the SEO program, minus the SEO expenses incurred).
It should be noted that this return only looks at the direct impact the more significant number of click-throughs has on advertising revenue. Additional indirect revenue is generated from the increase in click-throughs as the additional users clicking through tEntrepreneur’s online assets sign up for newsletters and become additional leads for other cross-promotions.
In addition, Frost produced a one-hour broadcast titled “Search Engine Marketing: The Primary Ingredient of your Marketing Mi.” Luke Russel, a senior analyst with Frost and Sullivan, conducted the broadcast, which included Chuck Fuller, senior vice president of business development at Entrepreneur Magazine, and Garry Grant, CEO of SEO Inc.
