Comprehensive Micro-Site SEO Strategy for Fisher Investments
How we architected a data-driven organic growth roadmap for a highly targeted financial services micro-site.
The Challenge
Fisher Investments, a globally recognized independent money management firm, contracted Ascentrix to lay the groundwork for a new, highly specialized micro-site. The financial sector is notoriously competitive in search, dominated by established institutional domains.
The challenge wasn't just to rank, but to capture high-intent, qualified traffic for specific investor personas while adhering to strict financial compliance standards. They needed a flawless blueprint before writing a single line of code or content.
The Solution
