Cheeta Teamwear is a leading sportswear and promotional event merchandise provider based in Victoria. Before working with Creativolt, they faced the following challenges:

Unable to move their primary keyword rankings above page two
A dated website layout with a poor user experience
A high amount of low-quality content that was receiving no traffic
An unnatural link profile with an abundance of toxic domains
Declining rankings for their flagship product – custom beanies
Constantly being outranked by bigger players such as Vistaprint & Zazzle
Extremely slow loading speed and poor adherence to CRO principles

What We Did

01

Built Keyword Database + Mapped Primary Keywords

Based on our research and keyword gap analysis, we compiled the existing, untapped, and unknown keywords. These keywords were then qualified and prioritised based on their intent, difficulty and relevance.

02

Performed In-Depth Technical Audit

We performed a thorough site crawl using Screaming Frog with APIs connected from PageSpeed Insights, Ahrefs, GA4 and Google Search Console. This set of detailed data points were analysed to create a prioritised list of technical improvement areas.

03

Resolved Keyword Cannibalisation

The technical audit uncovered several instances of keyword cannibalisation, which severely impacted the performance of key category pages. We updated the titles, content, and internal anchors on the affected pages to ensure that unique keywords were targeted on each page.

04

Pruned Low-Quality Content

Based on our site crawl, we flagged pages with no traffic, impressions or backlinks. The content on these pages was either consolidated with a similar page, redirected to a more relevant page or deleted altogether.

05

Upgraded Existing Content

A content audit was performed on all key category pages to identify opportunities to improve the quality and relevance of the on-page content. We re-wrote large sections of the existing content to improve NLP optimisation and to enhance the depth to provide coverage for secondary keywords.

06

Re-Designed Primary Pages

We conducted a CRO analysis of the site design and reviewed the top-performing competitor pages. Based on our research and planning, we designed wireframes to modernise and improve the user experience of the primary pages. We prioritised the pages with the lowest engagement rates.

07

Created Linkable Content Assets

Detailed research was performed to identify topics and resources with link-building potential. To create a more natural link profile, we created extensive content assets to attract backlinks from relevant and authoritative sources.

08

Performed Link Gap Analysis

We conducted a link gap analysis against the top competitors with the strongest backlink profiles. The list of untapped backlinks was further qualified and condensed into a list of link-building opportunities that could be realistically acquired for Cheeta Teamwear.

09

Built Relevant & High Authority Backlinks

Based on our link gap analysis and manual research of niche-specific publications, we commenced a targeted link-building campaign with the ultimate goal of improving Cheeta’s domain strength. Our outreach and link-building efforts led to several successful placements in leading publications.
