The challenge

The site had suffered through two redesigns without a redirect in sight: legacy URLs 404ing, backlinks pointing into the void, and Search Console showing the archaeology.

Traffic leaks like that don't trend; they drip for years. Every quarter the baseline sank a little lower as equity evaporated.

The approach

The first engagement month was forensic: log-file analysis, coverage archaeology, backlink inventory and a redirect map covering every URL that had ever earned a link or a click.

With the foundation clean, we rebuilt the information architecture into pillars and clusters — one definitive page per intent, internally linked like a reference book.

Reporting spoke revenue from month one: non-brand clicks to money pages, pipeline attribution, and annotations on every change so causality survived the quarterly review.

  • Topic clusters with pillar and supporting content briefs
  • Digital-PR assets: data studies and expert commentary
  • One-page revenue dashboard founders actually read
  • Redirect map covering every historical URL with equity
