Challenges

CHALLENGE #001

Rectifying Rendering Discrepancies for Enhanced Product Visibility

Discrepancies were discovered between the original and rendered HTML on product pages, leading to critical information like product price, description, and images rendered unreadable by Google. This hindered product page visibility on search results.

SOLUTION

The Overdose. SEO team worked closely with Swanndri's developers to provide them with a code brief outlining elements crucial for original and rendered HTML. This ensured essential information was consistently visible, enhancing overall product visibility.

CHALLENGE #002

Addressing Technical SEO Shortcomings

At the outset of our SEO collaboration, the New Zealand and Australian sites had inadequate technical SEO practices, resulting in diminished site visibility and lower rankings on search engine results pages.

SOLUTION

The Overdose. SEO team conducted a comprehensive audit, comparing Swanndri's technical SEO components to best-in-class standards to identify areas for improvement. Following the audit, detailed documentation and recommendations were provided to Swanndri and together we collaborated to implement tailored strategies, addressing the identified shortcomings and optimising technical SEO performance.

CHALLENGE #003

Enhancing Category Page Content for Improved SEO Performance

An insufficient amount of content on category pages, hinders the integration of target keywords, limiting their ability to rank prominently in user search results.

SOLUTION

The Overdose. SEO team formulated a comprehensive strategy for category page content, offering Swanndri detailed guidelines and briefs to optimise their on-page SEO. Content creation was entrusted to the Swanndri team to maintain brand voice, then meticulously reviewed by Overdose. SEO experts. This collaboration ensures boosted SEO performance while upholding brand identity.

"We’ve been working with Overdose. for SEO since May 2022 and have learned a massive amount along the way. Judy and the team are like extensions of our own team now and continually push us to do better, which is challenging and rewarding, as we watch the brand go from strength to strength with their help. We’ve also added the Line 7 brand to our SEO project, and I do not doubt that we will see the same results there."
