Project History
SEO Pillar Pages
https://www.ocrolus.com/intelligent-document-processing/Led the content writing and design of company pillar pages, allowing the company to rank on page one for several high-priority keywords.
From there, I outlined the content, including where keywords needed to be used, highlighting what topics should be touched on, and the tone of voice the brand needed to take with each. Then, I worked with several freelancers to ensure the copy matched the brand voice and point of view (POV) and that the keywords were used appropriately.
I also collaborated with designers to ensure the content was engaging and visually appealing before publishing. This strategic approach enhanced online visibility and resulted in a notable increase in conversions.
