The Challenge
Northern Star IT was super-interested in increasing its search engine visibility. Because the business serves customers from all parts of the globe, SEO was a great fit yet presented numerous challenges.
The organization wanted to increase its website conversion rate by attracting more higher-quality or qualified traffic from Google. However, since they offer many complex services, they experienced difficulty in driving the right users to pages. The company would be targeting keywords globally, which also meant increased competition.
