SEOTechnical AuditContent Strategy

The Challenge

Johnson Training had an outdated website with poor technical foundations. Despite offering industry-leading courses, they were buried on page 4 of Google for their primary keywords. Organic traffic was minimal, and they relied heavily on expensive paid advertising to generate enquiries.

Our Solution

We rebuilt their technical SEO foundation from the ground up — fixing crawl errors, improving site speed by 67%, and restructuring their internal linking. We then created a content strategy targeting long-tail training keywords and built topic clusters around their core course offerings. A targeted link building campaign secured 42 high-quality backlinks from education and industry publications.
