Taylor & Hart

Taylor & Hart approached Go Up looking for a link building campaign to support their own internal marketing strategy. While Taylor & Hart already had a healthy amount of existing visibility for key search terms within the jewellery sector, the goal was to:

• Increase that visibility further
• Support the brand’s ambition for future growth
• Challenge market-leading competitors such as Ernest & Jones, HSamuel, Beaverbrooks and Tiffany for the most valuable search estate.

Given that each of these brands have a combined legacy of hundreds of years of trading, Taylor & Hart cannot compete on a brand history level. However, we could compete on a strategic link acquisition basis in order to persuade search engines of Taylor & Hart’s significant – and increasing – reputation within the industry.

We executed a tailored content and link acquisition strategy that aimed to build authoritative and topic-relevant links from a range of wedding blogs, lifestyle publications and news websites.

We focused these links around a handful of key pages, some of which Taylor & Hart had identified as priority areas, others which we had identified as having the most potential for rapid growth in visibility.

Since launching our organic link building campaign for Taylor & Hart, the website has enjoyed a significant upturn in visibility. The total number of keywords that the website is ranking for has increased by 41% year-on-year, while the number of keywords ranking on the 1st page of results have increased by 48%.

At the time of writing (June 2020), the website also currently occupies 33 featured snippet positions in search results, including snippets for queries that have search volumes of more than 1,000 a month.
