Barry's 'The Home Improvers' The Brief Barry's began as Mad Barry's over 30 years ago.They specialise in the design and supply of kitchens, bathrooms, laundries, wardrobes and in-home cabinetry storage solutions. Director Elvio DiZane approached diggy four and a half years ago to build a web presence for Barry's. diggy developed a site that gave Barry's customers access to an electronic version of their popular 'magalogue' as well as keeping them up-to-date with current promotions. Client Testimonial: "It has now been four and a half years since I first met with diggy to see how best Barry's could take advantage of a web presence. As it was leading up and during the .com revolution, there was much hype as to how the Internet was going to make or break businesses like ours. I must say that over that time, the team at diggy worked with us and advised us without the hype and always ensured that what was done was within our means and to our specifications. The results are that we have a web site that is relevant to our business and most importantly to our customers, without the enormous expenses that many business incurred for no real added and tangible results." Elvio DiZane - Marketing Director SEO Case Study - Martinique on Macrossan Martinique is an attractive tropical resort based in one of Australia’s favourite destinations. The managers of the Port Douglas-based complex understood that the competitiveness of the accommodation industry spans across both offline and online advertising mediums. In their case, they had received limited traffic to their web site. After diggy’s initial web site assessment it was evident that increasing traffic to the site wasn’t going to be an easy task. The site content was not up to date, the individual pages were low in PageRank and there were very few incoming links (other sites linking to Martinique). There was also evidence of previous outdated and discredited SEO attempts. Today many of these bad SEO practices are getting many sites in trouble and result in the sites being penalised by search engines. One such example is hidden text, where the text is the same colour as the background. Unfortunately there are still some SEO companies around that still use “black hat” techniques which end up costing their clients in the long run. At diggy we only use legal and safe SEO techniques. Steps: - Key phrase strategy and feasibility assessment: We helped Matinique focus their SEO efforts towards the realistic target key phrase ' Port Douglas apartments', rather than 'Port Douglas accommodation' which is a lot more competitive.
- Remove anything that might be considered a bad or questionable SEO practice to recude search engine penalisation.
- Updated text content, on-site elements and improved linking structure.
- Provided relevant and high PageRank backlinks.
Results: Currently, when searching for “Port Douglas apartments”, MSN and NineMSN brings Martinique up as the top result, and Google brings Martinique up on the first page. monthly visitor numbers have increased significantly to the site. Ongoing: diggy’s efforts are now focused on constant supervision and a steady climb in Martinique’s long-lost ranking in Google. We achieve this through regular maintenance, quality backlinks and keyword strategies.  | Heisig Constructions Established in 1970, Heisig Constructions is a family owned business operating throughout the greater Brisbane area.
