The Challenge

• Weak Internal Architecture: Inadequate internal linking and suboptimal site structure impeded search engine crawling and user navigation.

• Low Domain Authority: A modest authority score coupled with minimal high-quality backlinks made it difficult to compete in a crowded digital landscape.
