Case Study: SEO Content Gurus – Custom WordPress Build for a Digital Agency 🚀
Client Profile
SEO Content Gurus is a digital marketing agency specialising in content writing, SEO, web design, web development, email marketing and more — with a focus on FinTech and SaaS businesses.
Challenge
They needed a website that:
- Showed their full service range (content writing, SEO, web design/development, email marketing, graphics) in a clear, accessible way.
- Included dedicated landing pages for each service to optimise for conversion (lead generation) and SEO.
- Integrated a newsletter subscription system to build their audience.
- Was built on WordPress (or a flexible UI builder) so the agency could maintain content, add new pages, services, blog posts.
- Maintained/blogged content (they already had blog posts) and improved user experience/UI, visual appeal, and overall brand trust.
Our Approach
Discovery & Planning
- Mapped service offerings and identified key landing pages needed (e.g., Web Design, Web Development, Blog Writing, Graphics Design, Email Marketing).
- Reviewed existing blog content and structure to ensure migration or integration without losing SEO value.
- Defined user-journeys for typical clients (e.g., FinTech startup looking for SEO + content writing; SaaS company needing web dev + email marketing).
Design
- Created a modern, clear UI with sections for each service: hero banner, service overview, benefits, case studies/testimonials, CTA to contact/subscribe.
- Newsletter component prominently placed (in header/footer/sidebars) to capture leads.
- Landing page templates designed for service-specific campaigns (e.g., “SEO Services for SaaS”, “Content Writing for FinTech”) to drive targeted traffic.
- Blog template designed for readability and conversion (subscribe CTA, related services links).
Development
- Built on WordPress with a flexible theme/child-theme and page-builder (or Gutenberg + custom blocks) to allow the agency to add/modify pages easily.
- Created 20+ pages including: Home, Services overview, individual service landing pages, Blog index, About, Press, Contact, Newsletter archive, Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, FAQ pages.
- Newsletter integration: set up via form plugin (e.g., Mailchimp, ConvertKit) and embedded in site; subscription data tied to the agency’s email marketing system.
- Service landing pages: custom fields or templates for each service to maintain consistency, SEO meta fields, hero images, service benefits, testimonials.
- SEO best-practices: ensuring clean URLs (e.g., /services/web-design), proper meta titles/descriptions, H1/H2 structure, image alt tags, internal linking (blog → service pages).
- Performance & responsive testing: site optimised for mobile users (important for agencies whose clients browse on phones/tablets).
Outcome
- SEO Content Gurus now has a fully refreshed website with dedicated service landing pages, integrated newsletter subscription and improved UI/UX.
- The website architecture supports lead generation and SEO (via targeted landing pages) rather than just a brochure site.
- The agency can now easily update/add pages themselves via WordPress.
- The newsletter integration helps build and engage an audience of potential clients/stakeholders.
- The blog remains active and is interlinked with service pages, enhancing SEO and conversion opportunities.
Key Metrics / KPIs (to gather)
- Increase in newsletter subscriptions (before vs after launch).
- Increase in contact or enquiry form submissions from service landing pages.
- Bounce rate improvement on service pages.
- Rankings or organic traffic improvements for targeted services (e.g., “web design agency FinTech”).
- Admin time saved for managing new pages and blog posts.
Lessons & Takeaways
- For agencies offering many services, dedicated landing pages per service help both SEO and conversion.
- Newsletter integration early in the design helps build long-term engagement, not just immediate leads.
- Ensuring the blog and service pages interlink strengthens search authority and user journeys.
- Giving clients (especially agencies) the ability to self-manage via WordPress enhances long-term value of the build.
- Performance optimisation and mobile usability remain key even for B2B agency sites.
