In addition, we held weekly meetings with the IT team to improve the speed of the website, implement changes for a more interactive interface, and meticulously plan ongoing actions.
Key tools employed included Screaming Frog for site crawling, which allowed for technical improvements in architecture, on-page SEO, speed and content.
Semrush facilitated in-depth keyword research at different audience stages and competitor analysis.
Ahrefs played a key role in identifying competitors' backlinks for possible replication.
