INTRODUCTION

THE CHALLENGE
The challenge
In November 2016, the publishing house Dioptra chose GIM Agency as its Strategic Partner in the field of Internet Marketing, entrusting us with the training and implementation of actions related to Adwords and SEO (Search Engine Optimization) as well as e-business consulting.
When we took on the project, the publisher’s e-shop was ranked on average between the 4th and 7th page, gaining a very small share of the market through organic results, despite being a well-known brand.
Competition on the internet is now fierce, both from well-known publishing houses and from branded book resellers, who in turn carry out actions in both paid advertising and organically.
GIM’s main achievement was to display the e-shop on the first page of Google’s organic results for highly competitive keywords and to improve all the qualitative and quantitative indicators of the Google Adwords account, with the main result being an improvement in the return on investment (ROI).
The following extremely positive results were achieved within 3 months.

A major challenge for the Marketing department was the fact that the main objective was to promote new titles that did not have any particular recognition. However, the results were extremely positive:
The process followed was as follows:
- In-depth analysis and optimization of the Google AdWords account
- Research and analysis of the target audience
- Analysis of the site and optimization recommendations to increase sales through better navigation and user experience
- Consulting with specialized seminars aimed at optimizing the quality of estimates and the strategic decision-making process
- In-depth analysis of the quality of the site, both at a technical level and in terms of content
- Recommendations for corrections to the e-shop in accordance with best practices – SEO
THE RESULTS
The result
The improvement in the organic ranking of very important keywords was spectacular, more specifically:
