Problem

The problem is that there are a lot of misguided market propaganda, especially on Google’s search engine, making it 10x harder to get Sue’s message across their clients.

Laneways Software & Digital job is to bridge that gap and make that connection a reality.

The solution: To create a user-friendly website that clients can get a hold of Sparrow Insurance team, and at the same time a website that Google trusts and understands.

Sparrow Insurance is a well known brand in the world of beauty insurance in Australia, but their lack of key pages and best SEO practice hurts their search visibility in Google—their target clients can’t find them when they look for insurance products on the web.

The Laneways Software & Digital Solution

Our SEO team at Laneways Software & Digital, found numerous optimization opportunities when we first got Sparrow’s website.

While the design wasn’t at all bad, we felt that it lacked the spark or connection with their target audience.

We felt it could be done better. So we made it better. . .

Design Revamp

After carefully selecting a couple of website design options and presenting our ideas to Sue, we came up with a brand-new identity for Sparrow Insurance:

We managed to keep the old theme (color, font and texture) while bringing out a better version of it.

Now Sparrow Insurance has a website that is much more lively, engaging as well as mobile user friendly!

Site Structure Mapping

If the secret to high conversion is a well-designed website, well, the secret sauce to that is a well-structured site architecture!

Here’s what we did…

  • Identified the insurance packages that they offer and grouped them by category.
  • Analyzed the competition and the kind of insurance packages they provide that Sparrow can/might also offer.
  • Created a service page mapping structure proposal.

After Sue approved the proposal, we then conducted keyword research for each product, mapped each one to their individual product pages, and identified the URL structure of the parent category pages as well as the subpages.

Content Production (with Semantic SEO in mind)

Realizing that the major problem is the lack of product pages, we zeroed in and hustled our content managers to initiate the creation of a content brief, content writing task instructions and delegation of content writing tasks.

Because we’ve done the initial mapping and KW research, and with the use of helpful tools like aHrefs and Surfer SEO, carrying out content production was a breeze.

We were able to collaborate with Sue and the Sparrow team in qualifying and varying the content drafts.

Once approved, we’ve created and designed the pages for each content draft. Then we optimized each page, and updated the sitemap and the main navigation accordingly!

On-Site Technical SEO Audit

When we first implemented the new design, we made sure everything was on point—the meta data, OG data, and structured data have to be correct. Our SEO team conducted a thorough technical audit using tools like screaming frog, aHrefs, GTMetrix, and a whole lot more!
