CUSTOMER SATISFACTION

“We’ve achieved good results: we’re expanding abroad, into countries like Germany, the UK, and Eastern Europe. Google positioning is especially important on an international level, because it helps us get noticed and showcases our products to the world.”

— GIUSEPPE FACA

THE PROJECT

The most interesting intervention has been made on the contentfront . First of all, the entire Faca product catalogue, previously relegated to a marginal position and now the fulcrum of the site, has been given wide visibility: it has been subdivided into micro- and macro-categories, which improve the browsing experience. In addition, ad hoccall-to-actions have been inserted to guide the visitor towards requesting information on Faca’s products, thus generating business leads.

Come agenzia di digital marketing per il settore metalmeccanico abbiamo individuato per Faca una strategia di lead generation che comprendeva due macroaree di intervento: un lavoro di sviluppo (Web Design e CRO) e l’ottimizzazione dei contenuti volta al conseguimento del miglior posizionamento sui motori di ricerca (SEO multilingua).
Nel dettaglio, i lavori di Web Design e CRO (Conversion Rate Optimization) sono stati rivolti in un primo momento al sito aziendale in lingua italiana Faca.it, pubblicato anni fa e diventato obsoleto per i principali device, oltre che molto carente in termini di appeal per l’utente finale. Si è partiti quindi da un restyling grafico e strutturale del sito, operazione che lo ha reso responsive e compatibile con gli standard per il mobile.

L’intervento più interessante è stato realizzato sul fronte dei contenuti. Innanzitutto, è stata data ampia visibilità all’intero catalogo prodotti Faca, prima relegato in posizione marginale e ora fulcro del sito: è stato suddiviso in micro e macrocategorie, che migliorano l’esperienza di navigazione. Inoltre sono state inserite call to action ad hoc per guidare il visitatore verso la richiesta di informazioni sui prodotti di Faca, generando così lead commerciali.

The interventions just described were also carried out for the other language versions. At the same time, the SEO setup was started, getting to the heart of search marketing. For each target market, the search trends and online activities of the main competitors were analysed. Subsequently, the keyword selection phase was carried out meticulously, using tools such as Google Instant and related searches, as well as professional SEO tools such as Semrush.

Do you want to achieve these results too, just like Faca did?
