Ecommerce SEO Case Study
When Riedel USA launched their new e-commerce website they called on the PCG Digital Marketing for advice on how to increase their visibility on the Internet. One of the challenges for Riedel was how to get to Google Page One with the hundreds of existing ecommerce sites selling their products. To complicate matters, their ecommerce website was brand new and so was the domain name they had chosen: www.riedel-webstore.com
After reviewing their ecommerce platform we made a number of suggestions for their web development team to implement. In particular, we suggested they develop a formula based strategy for HTML page titles and META tags. These formulas would create unique pages titles and tags that would be content specific and keyword driven. This approach would increase their ability to compete on the Internet. We also suggested that they implement dynamic URL rewriting based on a structure that we developed specifically for their product line. This project that is still underway.
We also analyzed the competitive landscape for their goods and recommended that they implement a different strategy for the store’s domain name. The company agreed to follow our recommendations and placed the e-commerce store on a sub-domain off of www.riedel.com .
Crystal Clear Internet Visibility
The new website, located at http://glassware.riedel.com would have two powerful benefits from this change. First, the sub-domain would inherit some of the integrity and traffic value from the parent website. Second, the sub-domain “glassware” is a powerful keyword that describes their goods. Together, these two words form “Riedel Glassware’ and that is exactly what their online store sells.

Within 30 days of implementing this new strategy, the website located at http://glassware.riedel.com was on Google Page One on 9/18/2008 for these terms.
