After migrating to a brand new website in 2019, John Lewis of Hungerford appointed Passion Digital to support with their SEO and content marketing strategy, and ever since work began, the brand’s organic presence has continued to go from strength to strength.
A lot has changed since John Lewis of Hungerford’s humble beginnings in 1972 when founder John Lewis opened his first hand-crafted wood furniture shop in Hungerford.
Fast forward to 2022 and John Lewis of Hungerford is still upholding its high standards of quality and attention to detail, with the company now firmly cemented as one of the UK’s most iconic names in luxury painted kitchens and furniture.
To supercharge their organic presence in search engines like Google, our overarching mission has been to position John Lewis of Hungerford as an authority in the luxury kitchen and furniture market. We achieved this by combining technical SEO, on-site optimisation, content marketing and targeted outreach.
We began with in-depth keyword research to understand the competitive landscape and identify high-priority terms relevant to John Lewis of Hungerford’s target audience. These keywords became the foundation for our entire strategy, ensuring alignment with the company’s business goals.
The initial focus was on technical SEO to create a solid foundation for all future efforts. With Google’s shift to mobile-first indexing, optimising the website for mobile devices became a top priority. We also addressed overall site health, page load speed, and internal and external links to enhance user experience.
Analysed trends in the luxury kitchen design industry, we crafted a series of four monthly blogs to target high-traffic topics. This content campaign aimed to educate and inspire readers, highlighting John Lewis of Hungerford’s expertise in kitchen design. We incorporated a clear internal linking strategy, connecting blogs to relevant service pages and calls to action for further engagement.
Our overarching objective was to generate new organic leads, allowing the John Lewis of Hungerford team to focus on what they do best: providing exceptional customer care and services – the cornerstone of John Lewis of Hungerford’s reputation.
