This carousel of graphics was made using Photoshop and was apart of a “Meet the Team” social media campaign.

The goal of the campaign was to “put a face to the name” when it came to digital articles, broadcast packages and names in the ICT Newscast credits. It was also a theme for fall and back to school.

Web Design Strategy

WordPress based for easy content management.
Strategic content and keyword placement, along with a scheduled blog strategy, to enhance internal link building and boost long-tail keyword SEO.

While there’s certainly more to it, this captures the three key elements of the project.

Google Places Listing

Google business places listings are important for increased search presence and ranking in local geographically zoned markets.

Google Search Rankings

Ongoing keyword performance analysis is important. As of September 2024, the website continues to rank highly on the first page of Google search results.

The following keywords all ranked on the first page of Google search.

Keywords Ranking Top 3 on Google

3rd – Best Tow Truck Tempe

3rd – Emergency Towing Tempe

3rd – Discount Tow Truck Tempe

3rd – Tempe Tow Truck Near Me

Keywords Ranking Top 7 on Google

4th – Best Towing Tempe

Securing a first-page Google search result is crucial for sustaining organic traffic. According to many SEO sources, the top 3 search results capture over 50-66% of all clicks. Therefore, while maintaining a first-page presence is important, achieving and holding a top 3 position is even more vital.
