The Challenge

Matthews & Goodman

In 2021 Matthews & Goodman came to us wanting to boost their website’s overall visibility within search results and drive more organic leads from their core service offerings (which included property investment). 

Matthews & Goodman required I-COM to focus on creating well-written content designed to perform within organic search, secure coverage in well-known publications and backlinks into their site. 

Much of the existing content on-site required updating and expanding to make it more discoverable, engaging and focused.  

The Approach

Matthews & Goodman

I-COM (following the PAE framework) advised an SEO-First strategy for 2021/2022, establishing a digital presence through E.E.A.T. principles and creating relevant content to support website enquiries. 

I-COM reworked and created a number of services pages, prioritising by opportunity, and also built valuable backlinks into the site boosting the organic visibility in search results. 

The Results

Matthews & Goodman

The site significantly increased in overall visibility, traffic, and ultimately drove a higher volume of leads for Matthews & Goodman. 

We secured coverage and links in a number of established publications, including Property Press Online (here), London Loves Business (here), and Charity Today (here).
