After the audit was completed, Vancouver SEO Agency made a number of recommendations to Release The Hounds. These included optimizing their website for their target keywords, improving their website’s structure and navigation, and reducing keyword cannibalization.
Keyword Research
The next step was to conduct keyword research. Vancouver SEO Agency used a number of different tools and methods to identify the best keywords for Release The Hounds’ website. Through our Keyword Gap tool, we also looked at the keywords that their competitors were targeting.
Based on the research, we identified a number of high-value keywords that we could assign to existing pages, and also keywords to target on new pages which would prove invaluable for our content strategy.
On-Site Optimization

Content Strategy
Content is an important part of any SEO campaign. Vancouver SEO Agency worked with Release The Hounds to develop a content strategy that would help them rank for their target keywords.

We made sure to triple-check every link for relevance, quality, and toxicity. Once the links were determined to meet our standards, we began the process of link acquisition.
