Solar Atmospheres Content Marketing Strategy

Overview

Solar Atmospheres is a leading provider of vacuum heat treating services, catering to industries such as aerospace, medical, and defense.

Following multiple Google algorithm changes, Solar Atmospheres experienced a decline in organic search rankings and website traffic. Key search terms where they previously ranked highly, were slipping, and the decline impacted their visibility to potential clients.

Recognizing the critical role of online visibility and content strategy in attracting and converting prospects, Solar Atmospheres partnered with SmartAcre. The goal was to revitalize their online presence, improve search engine rankings, and increase qualified lead generation through a comprehensive SEO and content marketing strategy.

Challenge

Solar Atmospheres faced several interrelated challenges:

  • Declining Search Rankings: Key industry keywords were losing ground in search engine results pages (SERPs), leading to reduced visibility.
  • Decreased Organic Traffic: The website was experiencing a downturn in new user acquisition and overall organic traffic.
  • Underoptimized Content: Existing content was not fully optimized for current SEO best practices, lacking keyword-rich headers and meta descriptions.

It was crucial to tackle the declining search rankings because maintaining top positions in search results is essential for competitive advantage in a niche manufacturing industry, and reduced visibility directly impacts the number of qualified leads and potential revenue. By improving search rankings and optimizing content, the company aims to increase its visibility, making it easier for prospects to find them.

Approach

Initial Assessment

SmartAcre first took a holistic, data-driven view of Solar Atmospheres’ current digital landscape. By thoroughly examining the company’s online presence, SmartAcre identified both immediate fixes and long-term growth opportunities. Specifically, the initial assessment focused on four key areas:

  • Website Audit: Identified technical SEO issues, including crawl errors and missing on-page elements.
  • Content Performance Review: Evaluated top-performing pages and assets to determine what was working.
  • Keyword Ranking Analysis: Assessed current rankings for key industry terms and identified areas of decline.
  • Competitive Analysis: Analyzed competitor keywords and strategies to uncover opportunities.

Armed with these insights, SmartAcre set out to elevate Solar Atmospheres’ presence in organic search. SmartAcre’s primary goals centered on increasing Solar Atmospheres’ visibility across high-priority keywords, ultimately improving their position in search results to capture more potential leads. By bolstering organic rankings and driving sustained traffic growth, the approach aimed to not only draw more visitors to the site but also engage them more deeply through clear calls-to-action and well-structured content journeys. Beyond just boosting rankings, SmartAcre sought to establish an SEO-driven, evergreen content marketing strategy, one that would empower Solar Atmospheres to consistently produce, optimize, and promote high-quality content, strengthening their authority and delivering ongoing value to their target markets.

With objectives and insights in hand, SmartAcre developed and recommended a series of actionable steps. Each recommendation addressed technical shortcomings, leveraged new keyword opportunities, and streamlined content practices to set the stage for long-term, scalable SEO growth.
