A financial services company was continually being bested in search by rival institutions. Particularly troublesome was that its branch pages were not getting the traffic they deserved. Their website speed was also ranked at 20/100, causing a slow load time and poor user experience. CloudControlMedia quickly identified technical issues and areas of improvement for content that could improve overall usability, site performance, impressions, and clicks.
“It’s a competitive industry and we couldn’t afford for our site to be slow. Customers just aren’t patient, and it's amazing how the results jumped when the site got faster.”
