The Solution

We built a SEO and content strategy for a new website


s360 built an SEO and content strategy to create online visibility in the search results. s360 conducted a full potential keyword analysis, using its proprietary tooling, to identify relevant keywords that provide a competitive advantage in the industry. Which was followed up by high-quality briefing and writing of the new, interesting and relevant content.

The strategy involved extensive keyword research, including competitor rankings, relevant and potential keywords, and research for product expansion. s360 utilised its AI-powered Python scripts to analyse the data, integrating insights from Google Analytics, trend data, and content auditing data. This amalgamation of artificial intelligence and analytics facilitated the generation of a comprehensive content map.

With all the keyword data collected, the keywords could be sorted through, finding out which should be grouped based on search intention. Groups were matched with new URLs to create a content plan. Together with NextEnergy, s360 looked at which new pages had the highest priority to produce content for first.

With the collected data, s360 created structured content briefs so NextEnergy could start writing content. s360 also helped with content writing to speed up production for faster organic visibility and growth results.

“Since working with s360 we have seen our organic performance accelerate and surpass our already ambitious expectations. Organic search has become very important pillar of growth in our marketing strategy and continues to be in the upcoming period”
