How Does Web Development Help in Website Optimization? – A Case Study

Company Background
The company is USA based industry-leading manufacturer of best quality detailing products for automotive, boat, airplanes, and many other industries, and is in this business since 1989. It’s a reputed name in the field of formulating private labelling products in Florida.

Challenges Need Vision to Resolve
Though the detailing products website was actively performing online promotions, the client was not getting the required output in terms of number of visitors, number of inquiries, high bounce rate and ultimately poor ROI. Website optimization is not mere the process of adding meta-tags, unique content and making offline promotions to get back the links to the website. SEO have integrated many more coding factors to make your website compatible in accordance to the certain basic thumb rules of internet marketing that makes your presence and experience better to your visitors. SEO helps in improving visibility as well tracing out the loopholes in the website, which hinder to the visitors in surfing. Though your website has good layout and informative content, if there is problem in navigation, visitors may get confused and they have very short time to confirm the usability of your website. Instead of visitors, being as a site owner, you have very short time to impress your prospective customers. Thus need to thoroughly check by keeping yourself in place of online customer, before you launch the website or start actively promoting it on internet.

This type of problem is commonly found in two ways –

  • In case of Making Category Product wise – When your single product is applied to the multiple industries as well applicable to multiple things with different usage. Here in this case “Carnuba Detailing Spray” is used as a cleaning product for painted surface as well it is also applied as a surface protector for painted fibreglass and painted surface. So some people may search Carnuba Detailing Spray for painted surface, are eager to know about the product application in their required periphery. At the same time others may search the same products as a surface protector. Even their usability processes may also be different.
  • In case of Making Category Application wise – When you categories your products application wise. In this case of “Aluminium Bronze” surface, different products are applied with distinct applications in separate WebPages like cleaning, polishing, waxing and protecting.

If you combine above two ways of product navigation on website in perfect way, it will be a great help to the visitors or else it may put them in puzzle.  The same problems was found in the case of detailing products website due to which, though the content was unique, informative but couldn’t attract to the users, as visitors always looking for authority trust which they can achieve only with the layout, navigation and right functionality.
