The Strategy

The strategy for Assertive was to fully revamp the SCI-MX website, making it faster, easier to use, more intuitive & better for an end to end customer experience. The website was re-designed, making it perform much better organically.

We reverse engineered a number of supplement websites to assess the most effective route forward to compete in a highly competitive space. This includes significantly more weighted product pages, better product filtering at category level, high quality content, internal linking, taking full advantage of SCHEMA / rich snippet data & more.

The strategy then became content and link based – building out a plethora of pillar and research pages around protein supplements, diets, healthy eating, training regimes and more.

We were able to substantially increase long-tail traffic and query coverage for SCI-MX which increased rankings and ultimately product sales through the website.
