The Challenges

  • The client, Chuck and Eddie’s, is a Connecticut-based reseller of used automotive and truck parts housed at four locations in the state. The client’s site, chuckandeddies.com is a very large website with thousands of pages, many of which, due to historic search engine practices, were not being indexed. AWG’s task was to discover and remove roadblocks that were preventing key site pages from being indexed, in hopes of improving chuckandeddies.com’s KPIs overall.

Execution

  • AWG’s efforts were aimed at unblocking search engines when their bots scanned the client’s site. These initiatives also had a positive effect on increasing the client’s reach and in attracting more site visitors looking to buy brand new and used automotive parts.
    • Search Engine Optimization (SEO): AWG’s on and off-page strategy included reformatting individual page titles and metas, to change the layout of certain types of pages, to ensure all pages were listed on the sitemap, to influence search engines to crawl the site more deeply and to index more site pages. In addition, several Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO) initiatives were carried out that included stronger Calls to Action (CTAs) on the homepage to influence buying decisions.
