Transforming WBI Warm’s corporate website, optimizing it for SEO and driving a steady stream of high-quality inbound leads.

1. Client Overview

WBI Warm has been a trusted name in the US insulation and heating solutions market since 2000, serving customers nationwide. Despite their long-standing credibility in the industry, they lacked a structured digital marketing approach.

WBI’s primary challenge was generating consistent, high-quality inbound leads through organic search.

Relying solely on traditional marketing, referrals and PPC traffic was no longer sustainable.

WBI needed a profitable, long-term digital strategy to establish a strong online presence and attract a steady flow of potential customers.

WBI Warm (Warm Brothers Inc.) provides high quality, energy-efficient radiant heat panel solutions.

Recognizing the power of SEO, WBI Warm partnered with us to develop an organic lead generation engine. Their goals were clear: Increase domain authority, improve search visibility, and ultimately drive high-intent website visitors who would convert into quote enquiries and phone enquiries.

Our task was to build a results-driven SEO and link-building strategy that would not just improve rankings but also translate into meaningful business growth.

When the initiative started, the website had a domain rating (DR) of 0 and fewer than 100 monthly organic visits.

To close these gaps, WBI worked with LinkPanda’s SEO and link-building professionals to boost their search performance and deliver quality visitors to their website.

2. The Challenge

When WBI Warm’s SEO campaign launched, the website faced several significant challenges. The WBI Warm team needed a data-driven SEO strategy to establish authority, increase traffic, and attract qualified leads.

The website performance metrics show continuous growth in referring domains, fueled by high authority backlink building as well as steady growth in domain rating. 

 

  • Lack of existing backlink profile, low domain authority.
  • No SEO strategy, leading to low search visibility.
  • Disorganized architecture with multiple domains.
  • Outdated technical SEO reducing performance.
  • Poor indexation and visibility on search engines.

4. Strategy

We implemented a thorough SEO plan to improve WBI Warm's online visibility, with an emphasis on link building, technical optimization, and site migration.

Strategic Link Building: Elevating Domain Authority

WBI Warm started with a domain rating (DR) of 0, making building a strong backlink profile imperative. Our link-building strategy involved:

  • Building 5 high-quality links per month, ensuring relevancy and accuracy in anchor selection, in line with LinkPanda quality guidelines outlined in our Manifesto.
  • Selecting authoritative domains that aligned with WBI Warm’s niche.
  • Using WBI’s other brand websites to maximize incoming links from their other domains towards WBIwarm.com
  • Removing irrelevant outbound links to retain valuable link juice.
  • Achieving a DR boost from 0 to 36 in under four months, reinforcing the brand’s credibility in search rankings.

Website Migration & Consolidation: Unifying Digital Presence

One of the biggest hurdles WBI Warm faced was a fragmented website architecture, spread across three different domains. To enhance SEO performance, we executed a full-scale domain migration strategy to condense content into one domain, which included:

  • Conducting an in-depth analysis of 71 URLs to determine necessary migrations.
  • Implementing 301 redirects to ensure seamless transition and preserve link equity.
  • Taking down outdated URLs and relaunching content under one core domain (wbiwarm.com).
  • Enhancing header and footer menus for better user navigation.

The web page migration project strategically combined three WBI-owned domains into one central corporate web presence, on WBIWarm.com. We analysed all URLs of the three domains, especially those on WBI’s two other domains. Based on factors such as clicks, content depth and relevance, 71 URLs were identified to migrated over to WBIwarm.com, providing an quick boost to search performance. The two other domains remain live but have the primary purpose of lead generation via PPC ads.

Technical SEO Optimization

To complement link-building and migration efforts, we focused on optimizing the site’s technical health by:

  • Enhancing on-page SEO to improve keyword relevance.
  • Improving indexation by refining site architecture.
  • Boosting the site’s technical health score to 99%, ensuring optimal performance.
  • Performed a detailed site audit to resolve technical issues like broken links, slow page speeds, and improper indexing.
  • Improved site architecture to ensure search engines could crawl and index the site efficiently.
  • Enhanced mobile usability and page load times to improve user experience and rankings.
Achieving a nearly ideal technical SEO health score with very low error count remaining.

 Attaining an exceptional technical SEO audit health score, with 99% of all URLs error-free.

On-Page SEO Improvements

  • Optimized meta titles, descriptions, and headers with targeted keywords.
  • Implemented structured data to improve SERP visibility and enhance click-through rates (CTR).
  • Ensured internal linking was used effectively to distribute link equity across important pages.

Tracking and Iterative Improvements
