THE CHALLENGES
Zero Online Presense in China
Despite being a global company and investing heavily into the Chinese market, Carpenter had no online presence in China. With limited resources in marketing, they reached out to us to help them to reach China customers.
Carpenter Technology has a global footprint, however very limited resources in China for Chinese marketing initiatives. The local sales team relies only on translated sales brochures and flyers to introduce their product – as the brand website is only in English.
Their brand was not present on any of the popular Chinese online platforms like WeChat or Baidu. When potential customers searched online, it was nearly impossible to find any relevant company or product info in Chinese.

HOW WE DID IT
Building A Strong Online Brand Presence in China
1. Initial Research & Content Strategy
We started our campaign with Carpenter by gaining an in-depth understanding of their target audience and competitive market in China. Through comprehensive competitor research and identifying target audiences in detail, we developed an effective content strategy for the Chinese market.
2. Establishing a Robust WeChat Account
As the largest social media platform in China, we knew Carpenter needed to present on WeChat. We built the WeChat account for Carpenter Technology – handling everything from the application process, planning on menu setup within the account, and the full breadth of content creation.
After establishing the WeChat account in October 2021, we saw:

This in-depth, technical post details Carpenter’s Nimark 300 product, showcasing its most applicable use cases and benefits – notably golf clubs. It ends with an interactive quiz regarding the product and provides relevant contact information for those interested in taking a next step.
3. Building WeChat Content to Serve as a Focal Point
We decided to use WeChat as the foundation of our Chinese marketing efforts, so we developed the content on Wechat to serve as a mini-website for Carpenter Technology in China. Potential customers are able to search for detailed product introduction and information – all directly on WeChat.
This WeChat post goes into detail about Carpenter’s products and where they source their material, giving potential prospects vital information about what makes Carpenter unique. The post concludes with an interactive quiz and contact information to drive engagement.
This is another in-depth product video covering Carpenter’s Hiperco 27. It goes into great depth about the product’s use cases and applications, namely tech and electronics. It also contains a fun quiz to prime prospects and relevant contact information enticing them to reach out.
4. Continued Brand Growth in China
These solutions were just the starting point for Carpenter’s growth in China. We’re continuing to build a more visible presence on Baidu by establishing a Baidu Wiki, issuing press releases, and more.
We’re also continuing to create more diverse types of content and localize their brand videos to appeal to a Chinese audience.
We’re doing the same kind of content localization and optimisation for Wechat, as we seek to increase their reach on the platform.
5. A Growing Presence in China
Since launching Carpenter’s WeChat account and managing their content production, we’ve grown their follower account each month – some months seeing up to 75% growth. Their brand continues to grow as they establish their online presence in China.
Our Approach
When Collectius came to us with significant gaps in their SEO expertise and online visibility, we tailored a comprehensive approach that was designed to overhaul their digital presence and drive measurable improvements. Here's how we proceeded:
- SEO Audit: An on-page and off-page SEO audit was conducted to identify areas for improvement
- Google Search Console Installation: Google Search Console was installed on the Collectius website to monitor and track their analytics
- Digital Content Strategy: We produced a digital content strategy pack to help Collectius enhance their SEO goals
- Backlink Acquisition: Backlinks were purchased to improve Collectius' domain ranking Keyword Research: Extensive keyword research was performed to align content and SEO strategies with relevant search trends
Comprehensive SEO Audit
We initiated our process by conducting a detailed SEO audit for Collectius. This audit was crucial in pinpointing several critical areas where the company was underperforming.
Key issues we found included suboptimal keyword utilisation, missing meta descriptions, and poorly optimised content that wasn't fully aligned with target search queries.
Having identified areas for improvement, the Brew team worked with Collectius’ web development team to implement these fixes.
Following the initial SEO audit, we conducted a focused technical SEO audit for Collectius. A technical SEO audit is a thorough examination of a website’s technical infrastructure as it relates to its visibility and performance in search engines.
It evaluates several key elements, including site architecture, page speed, mobile-friendliness, indexing, crawlability, security, and use of technologies that may impact search engine access and efficiency.
This was a critical step to ensuring that the website’s infrastructure met modern search engine standards, which is pivotal for improving search rankings and user experience. Our audit revealed several key technical issues that needed immediate attention:
Slow Loading Speeds: We identified that the Collectius website had slower than optimal loading times. Slow speeds can significantly affect user experience and negatively impact search engine rankings. To address this, we optimised image sizes, minimised the use of blocking JavaScript, and implemented more efficient caching policies to enhance page load performance.
The Lack of a Sitemap: The absence of a sitemap was another critical gap. Sitemaps are essential as they help search engines more intelligently crawl the site and understand its structure. We created and submitted a comprehensive sitemap to Google, which facilitated better indexing of the website’s pages.
Mobile Optimization: Our audit also found that Collectius’ website was not optimised for mobile users. The Brew team provided detailed guidance to Collectius' web development team on best practices for mobile optimization going forward. This included advice on implementing accelerated mobile pages (AMP), optimising button sizes and touch targets, and ensuring text readability without requiring zoom.
Tracking & Monitoring of Collectius’ Web Performance
To better monitor and track the effectiveness of our strategies, we installed Google Search Console (GSC) on Collectius’ website. GSC allows us to gain valuable insights into the site's traffic, search performance, and any crawling errors, thereby enabling us to make data-driven decisions.
With data from GSC, we can identify which pages are performing well and which might require further optimization. This helps us refine SEO strategies and target specific issues with precision.
Digital Content Strategy
Recognizing the importance of content in SEO success, we crafted a comprehensive digital content strategy pack specifically tailored to Collectius' needs.
This strategy involved developing four customer personas and two end-user personas, representing the diverse segments of Collectius' audience. These personas helped us understand the distinct needs, behaviours, and preferences of different user types that interact with Collectius' services.
From this foundation, we were able to pinpoint the types of content and topics that would resonate most strongly with each persona. Leveraging these insights, we developed a series of SEO-optimised articles.
Each article was carefully written by our copywriter who made sure that keywords used were relevant with Collectius’ offerings and aligned with the interests of potential clients.
Taking this approach allowed us to attract more organic traffic to their site and significantly enhance visibility for these targeted search terms.
Backlink Acquisition
To strengthen Collectius’ domain authority and improve their search engine ranking, we strategically acquired high-quality backlinks. This effort was aimed at boosting their profile against competitors and increasing the trustworthiness of their site in the eyes of search engines.
Through our targeted backlink acquisition efforts, we gradually improved the organic traffic to Collectius' site.
As their domain authority increased, so did their visibility in search engine results, leading to more visitors naturally finding their way to the website without the need for paid advertising.
This steady increase in organic traffic not only enhanced their online presence but also contributed to higher engagement and conversion rates.
Outstanding SEO Results for Collectius
Our comprehensive SEO strategy delivered impressive results for Collectius, significantly enhancing their online visibility and search engine performance. Here are some of the key achievements:
Significant Traffic Growth
Over a period of six months, we achieved more than a 60% increase in organic traffic to Collectius' website. This surge in visitors was a direct result of our focused improvements in SEO practices and content strategies.
Expanded Keyword Reach
There was over a 70% increase in the number of organic keywords that Collectius ranks for on Google. This expansion in keyword coverage helped broaden their visibility and reach a wider audience interested in debt collection and financial services.
Top Rankings in Local Searches
Collectius' website achieved first-page rankings on Google's Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs) for targeted searches in Singapore and Malaysia. Ranking on the first page for relevant searches significantly boosted their brand's visibility and accessibility in these key markets.
