Paddle: Streamlining migrations and boosting visibility - Organic

Relationship

Paddle first became a client in 2021 and we supported them with enhancing their paid media, as well as providing creative services. The relationship developed to include an SEO retainer and various projects.

Problem

Paddle had acquired two brands (Profitwell and Price Intelligently) and needed to close down and merge these two domains into the paddle.com site. Because both sites contained valuable content and visibility there was a need to maintain as much value from the sites post-migration, and set up the Paddle site for future success.

Solution

Full migration of profitwell.com and priceintelligently.com to paddle.com
Identified and fixed a serious issue with implementation of canonical pages that was hampering search performance
Cleaning up of duplicate pages and 4XX errors
Strategy to manage broken backlinks and minimise loss of link equity
Implementation of FAQ Schema to improve Paddle’s chances of appearing in featured snippets
Identified pages with thin content and providing recommendations for optimisation
Identified non-indexable pages that contained useful content that needed surfacing in the SERPs
Ongoing weekly hygiene checks to surface further issues, monitor performance, and provide actionable recommendations for improvement
