HOW WE DID IT

COMPLETE SOCIAL MEDIA TAKEOVER

We started by addressing their stagnant social media presence by developing an in-depth content strategy focusing primarily on three pillars of content: branding, product promotion, and audience connection.

Once we laid out an effective strategy, we took over JCB’s Facebook, Instagram, and LInkedIn accounts in Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, and Philippines – where we catered content to connect with the target market.

We strategically boosted posts that we knew would resonate with their target audience: primarily real estate developers, mining companies, and large construction companies.

JCB BRANDING

The brand pillar of our content efforts is focused on featuring brand videos, customer testimonials, compelling company news, and other creatives with the intent of supporting the brand.

PRODUCT PROMOTION

Our product promotion pillar is focused on content that showcasing products, displays prominent features, and highlights key benefits.

AUDIENCE CONNECTION

Our audience connection pillar is focused on connecting with JCB’s audience and target personas through holiday posts, highlighting relevant events, local-specific content, and occasional how-to posts.

A THREE PRONGED APPROACH TO SEO

We focused on three primary areas to enhance JCB’s SEO, drive more traffic,
and get them more qualified leads:

On-Page & Technical Optimisations

We started by cleaning up their on-page SEO by increasing page speeds, optimising for Core Web Vitals, improving title tags & meta descriptions, optimising headings, and adding ALT text to images where needed.

Content Improvements

We then turned our attention to improving JCB’s content – both to improve rankings and user engagement. Our SEO team went through every page to adjust, update, and add relevant content.

Link Building

While we were tackling both of these initiatives, we were building relevant and authoritative backlinks (hyperlinks from external sites to JCB) to improve JCB’s credibility, increase current rankings, and set them up to rank new pages consistently for years to come.

IMPACT

Thanks to significant growth on search engines and their social media platforms, JCB is growing, selling more products, and building new partnerships throughout SouthEast Asia.

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.
