The Challenge

OLT engaged our services as they were looking to increase their direct online business for their DIY outdoor structures.

Their website was dated, not mobile-friendly, only sold items in US dollars, and the presentation of content did not align with the high-quality products they offered. They had significant investments in reviews solicitation and customer-completed projects with their products, but were not fully utilizing these in their marketing.

They were already well represented in a number of high profile big box and warehouse stores throughout North America for their products, but wanted to reduce their dependency and reliance on these channels; parallel, they wanted to better utilize their exceptional customer service processes with direct sales.

Solution

The first step was to better organize and maximize the presentation of a vast amount of information that would improve the ability for a potential customer to easily move through the buying process and have confidence in making what could amount to a $6,000 purchase online for a single product.

Site architecture was overhauled, including friendly URL’s, SSL was integrated to improve trust and protect customer data, schema markup was implemented to emphasis a legacy of strong reviews.

The ability to purchase in US and CAD funds was integrated, and organic search goals were coordinated all within the seasonal nature of the business. Content marketing and on-page conversion optimization supported campaign objectives.
