The Challenge

As an expert B2B seller, Block has numerous customer segmentation needs including regional selling rules and pricing and purchase order requirements not commonly found or used on most consumer retail websites. Further, the company needed to tighten and troubleshoot the integration between Magento and their back-office ERP software.

Staffed with a lean set of internal resources for eCommerce, Block and Company looked to InteractOne for custom Magento development as well as extension and server environment support..

Our Solution

Flexibility is important to the success of the ongoing relationship between InteractOne and Block and Company. Agile development methods allowed us to respond quickly and efficiently to Block and Company’s maintenance needs. Effectively becoming an extension of Block and Company’s internal team, we provide project support, fully controlled repository, development and test environments.

Agile development also ensures that resources are available and matched to tasks for maximum effectiveness and efficiency. The ERP integration project, in particular, required a high level of business process and programming knowledge well beyond routine Magento programming.

The Results

Enhanced shopping experience for Block and Company customers includes segmentation unique to their needs including individual pricing and purchase requirements. In addition, the new site ERP integration provides easy functionality for internal operations. Block and Company can take full control of their eCommerce future with the new powerful features integrated into their Magento site.

        Digital Marketing Services Case Study: World Wide Art

        Structural-Focused SEO

        World Wide Art

        World Wide Art needed to properly configure a new site to meet SEO best practices and to correct lingering migration issues .

         

        World Wide Art 

        Structural-Focused SEO

        Established in 1996, World Wide Art specializes in limited editions, originals and sculptures created by today’s top animation artists from studios like Disney, Warner Brothers, Hanna-Barbera and Pixar. Built on the robust Magento eCommerce platform, World Wide Art has expanded their reach beyond their Art Gallery and Custom Framing shop in Castro Valley, CA.

        Our Services

         

        • Custom Magento Design & Development
        • Custom Integrations
        • Custom Shipping Logic
        • Checkout Optimization
        • Personalized Location Information & Mapping

        The Challenge

        World Wide Art came to InteractOne with a new Magento website that had not been properly migrated or configured. When the site was migrated to Magento, content was not transferred from their old platform. After the migration, they were experiencing issues with SERPs (Search Engine Result Pages) as well as redirect issues resulting in a large amount of 404 Not Found errors. This caused a significant decline in organic traffic leading to a significant decline in conversions and revenue as well.

        World Wide Art tasked InteractOne with properly configuring the new site to meet SEO best practices and to correct any other issues that had accumulated as a result of the migration.

        Our Solution

        InteractOne began by evaluating and diagnosing the aspects of the website that needed immediate attention.  We created an action plan to address site crawlability, search engine indexation, extension conflicts, site performance and success tracking.

        • We updated the index.txt file with the proper rules for better site crawlability. This made the site easier to navigate and more visible on SERPs
        • To address the 404 errors and search engine indexation issues, we utilized Google Search Console, Google Analytics, and old sitemaps, to gather the lost URLs to create proper 301 redirects.
        • With the the proper 301 redirects in place, onsite user metrics improved including bounce rate, time on site and pages per visit. To further improve site performance, we fixed extension conflicts that were causing broken on-site links.
        • We also updated their Google Analytics account and created eCommerce conversion goals so World Wide Art can track and monitor their success over time.

        The Results

        World Wide Art saw improvement across the board with the successful and ongoing implementations of our action plan. The most notable area of improvement was the bounce rate which saw a 670% decrease.

        Search engine indexation, time on site and reduced site crawl errors in Google Search Console saw improvement as well. 404 errors have improved and are a part of our ongoing solution.

        With an updated Google Analytics account, World Wide Art is now tracking and monitoring conversion goals and going forward will be able to monitor revenue over time.

        • Average time on site increased by 49% 49% 49%
        • Average number of pages viewed per session increased by 57% 57% 57%
        • 400 “Not Found” Errors decreased by 90% 90% 90%

          Tarps Now – SEO Case Study

          SEO Case Study

          Tarps Now

          • Custom Integrations
          • Custom Shipping Logic
          • Checkout Optimization
          • Personalized Location Information & Mapping

          The Challenge

          Like many other companies, SEO rankings were one of Tarps Now’s top priorities. For many years, they chased after search engine rankings and paid for high volume search terms with little growth.

          Ready to see the results they were looking and paying for, they reached out to InteractOne to help improve their SEO efforts and ranking.

          Our Solution

          InteractOne took over the Tarps Now website and SEO campaigns, and immediately began working to improve some crawlability issues and resolve some orphaned pages.

          After resolving some technical SEO hindrances, we began focusing on long-tail search terms to find visitors who are deeper in the conversion funnel. Even though they are not at the top of the funnel, these types of users add significant value to organic traffic.

          The Results

          Organic traffic and revenue actually started to trend positively just one month after resolving the site’s crawlability issues. After four months of working with Tarps Now, we were able to show an increase in Year over Year organic traffic on their website of 83% and organic revenue of 122%. Organic traffic growth outpaced all other traffic sources in sessions, revenue and average order value by over 25%.

          During our work, products and prices did not change, and we still were able to increase revenue and average order value. Tarps Now’s team members are happy to see their vision become a reality, and are able to reinvest more funds back into company growth given the higher profitability found in organic traffic over PPC.
