When we undertook the project of CrownGuard Security, the company was struggling to get organic traffic to its websites. There were many issues such as outdated content, negative SEO, low online visibility, and low site traffic.
To grow CrownGuard’s visibility and organic site traffic, our core strategy revolved around search engine optimization and maximizing content discoverability. This involved extensive keyword research to identify high-volume terms related to security services for homes and businesses. We then optimized pages and posts around these keywords, crafting informative, relevant content that positioned CrownGuard as a trusted authority.
Ongoing link-building through guest posts on security blogs helped improve website traffic. We also continually created and updated location-specific pages targeting search terms in all of CrownGuard's service areas across the UK. To increase their online presence, we also set up their business pages on social media networking sites, such as Facebook, Instagram, etc. The resulting gains in organic rankings and traffic cemented CrownGuard as a leader for security-conscious website visitors.
Here is a detailed overview of the steps our team has taken to achieve a significant improvement in the website’s ranking for targeted keywords:
To start, we thoroughly analyzed CrownGuard's current website traffic, keywords, and other key metrics. We found organic monthly visitors were under 500, with only a few security-related keywords ranking. Given the competitiveness of search for security services in London, UK, this presented major SEO growth opportunities.
On-page optimization was inadequate, with thin content that didn't highlight CrownGuard's expertise. The site had gained just a handful of backlinks from relevant sites like home security blogs and industry directories.
Without consistent link-building efforts, domain authority had stagnated. Our SEO survey indicated significant potential to boost organic traffic and leads by expanding keyword targeting, optimizing pages, and earning high-quality backlinks from trusted sources. The insights gained laid the foundation for our performance-focused SEO strategy.
A key part of our SEO audit involved identifying promising "easy win" keywords that could quickly boost CrownGuard's rankings. We discovered over 200 medium-to-low competition terms like "security guards for hire" and "security hire". By optimizing existing and new pages around these terms, we saw a 137% increase in organic traffic within a year. We also added long-tail variations of core keywords, helping increase rankings for 550+ organic security-related keywords. Leveraging data and tools to find valuable target keywords provided the fuel for our SEO efforts, leading to a 327% surge in qualified visitors from organic search.
We identified over 50 security companies in London as direct competitors to CrownGuard. Studying their websites and SEO strategies revealed valuable insights. One leading competitor ranked for 500+ keywords that CrownGuard was missing out on. By adding relevant terms like "hiring security guard" and "guard security phone", we expanded CrownGuard's keyword targeting by 55%. Incorporating this new competitive intelligence into our optimization resulted in an 82.78% increase in rankings for the top 10 keyword positions. With every update, we analyzed competitors' approaches to find new opportunities to outperform them in SEO. This process was crucial for securing CrownGuard as a leader across search results for security services.
With the audit and competitor gap analysis insights in hand, we developed a targeted SEO strategy tailored for CrownGuard Security to boost organic growth.
We focused on on-page SEO, technical SEO, creating high-quality content, blog posts, and guest posts optimized for 500+ previously untapped keywords.
To improve authority and rankings, our link-building strategy (off-page SEO) secured relevant backlinks from security industry sites and directories.
We also improved the website to enhance its responsiveness and mobile-friendliness (mobile SEO).
The comprehensive efforts resulted in a +327% increase in organic users, a +24.74% increase in CTR, and a +64.29% increase in active users. Besides,
pageviews have increased by 14 Million. By integrating SEO into CrownGuard’s overall digital presence, we successfully established them as a trusted
leader for security-related searches.
We also helped create and verify CrownGuard’s Google My Business listing, which is the key part of local SEO, to strengthen local pack visibility.
To check its local online presence, please take a look at this impressive sample Google Map Local Pack below:
Being a security provider serving diverse customers across the UK, ranking highly in local searches was crucial for CrownGuard. We focused on building up
their Google My Business listing with complete, accurate data so they would stand out for nearby customers.
Google gives more importance to factors such as physical proximity, prominence, and relevance when deciding which businesses to showcase for local searches.
But we went beyond just GMB - our localized content and outreach (local SEO) also helped strengthen CrownGuard's authority in key regions they served.
Rather than paying individually for specific services, CrownGuard took advantage of our full suite of integrated SEO offerings. This gave us the flexibility

By optimizing pages around core keywords “security guards for hire”, we pushed more of CrownGuard's top terms into the critical top 10 organic positions, as shown in the table below.
