The Challenge
We were approached by the team at Forth Boat Tours to help improve their organic search performance. Not reflective of this iconic Scottish tourist brand, there was a need to review the website’s UX and SEO performance
A comprehensive set of recommendations and fixes were then fully implemented. Major improvements soon followed across all key search metrics, with massively improved web traffic and on-line revenue.
We have since redesigned the front end of the website to greatly improve user experience and enhance conversion on site.
