Project Overview
S3T Koncepts is a leading interior design and fit-out company based in Dubai, specializing in high-end residential and commercial projects. With a strong portfolio of villa interiors, office fit-outs and bespoke joinery services, S3T Koncepts caters to a diverse range of clients seeking customized and premium spaces. However, after a recent website migration, their organic traffic took a significant hit, prompting the need for an effective SEO strategy to regain visibility and drive leads.
Project Objective
S3T Koncepts had clear goals that we aimed to achieve over a 9-month period:
- Recover lost organic traffic following the website migration.
- Rank on Page 1 for high-value commercial keywords such as fit out companies in Dubai, interior design fit out companies, and villa fit-out companies.
- Improve visibility on local “near me” searches targeting Dubai-specific locations.
- Strengthen domain authority by improving backlinks and content quality.
Challenges Faced
Upon analyzing the client's website and previous SEO performance, we identified several challenges:
- A 65% drop in organic traffic post-migration due to missing redirects and URL mismatches.
- Thin content on service pages, particularly for high-competition terms like fit out companies in Dubai and interior design services.
- Unoptimized meta tags, headings, and schema markup on the site.
- A lack of Google Business Profile optimization and insufficient reviews.
- Limited backlink profile, with a low domain authority.
- Low rankings for competitive keywords like office fit-out and interior fit-out companies.
SEO Strategy and Implementation/h3>
Phase 1: Technical SEO & Migration Recovery
The first step was to recover from the migration issues and optimize the site’s technical aspects:
- Site audit: We conducted a thorough audit to identify crawl errors and technical issues that were hindering site performance.
- 301 Redirects: 301 redirects were implemented to ensure that all old URLs pointed to the correct new URLs.
- Google Search Console: We reconnected the site with Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster to ensure proper indexing and crawlability.
- Site Speed Improvements: Page speed was optimized to meet Core Web Vitals standards, improving both desktop and mobile user experiences.
Phase 2: On-Page SEO & Keyword Optimization
Next, we focused on enhancing the content and ensuring it was optimized for the right keywords:
- Keyword Research & Mapping: A detailed keyword strategy was created, targeting over 50 keywords such as interior fit out, joinery companies Dubai, and turnkey interiors.
- Content Optimization: The homepage, service pages, and About Us page were rewritten with relevant keywords. Dedicated landing pages were created for each service category, such as villa fit out, office interior design, and exhibition booth design.
- Internal Linking: A strong internal linking structure was developed to guide users and distribute SEO equity effectively across key pages.
- Meta Tags & Headings: All meta tags, title tags, and headings were optimized with the targeted keywords for each service and location.
Phase 3: Authority Building & Local SEO
After laying the groundwork with technical and on-page optimizations, the final phase focused on building authority and improving local SEO:
- Google Business Profile: The client’s Google Business Profile was fully optimized with accurate business information, service areas, and high-quality images. We also encouraged customers to leave reviews, which enhanced the local search visibility.
- Backlink Strategy: Over 50 high-authority backlinks were acquired from UAE business directories, niche industry sites, and guest posts. This significantly boosted the domain’s authority
- Content Marketing: We launched a blog strategy, publishing articles such as How to Choose a Fit-Out Company for Your Villa and Cost Guide for Office Fit-Outs in Dubai, attracting more traffic and establishing the brand as an authority in the fit-out industry.
