Case Study: picappoint
How Forte ensured this website was optimized for performance & SEO
The PicAppoint team initially turned to large online platforms to source a marketing consultant, but the process proved unreliable. Despite previous success using similar services, they found it difficult to identify a marketing partner who could truly be trusted to understand their business and deliver on SEO, content, and website performance goals.
After hiring a "professional SEO" web development agency to redesign their website, they quickly encountered issues—namely, a site that looked polished but lacked proper SEO structure and compliance. The risk? Launching a site that would be virtually invisible in search engines.
Forte stepped in immediately to:
- Audit and oversee the SEO compliance of the website, identifying critical gaps the prior agency missed
- Write all on-page content with both users and search engines in mind
- Serve as a trusted strategic advisor, looking out for the company’s best interests
- Provide ongoing support, clarity, and execution around marketing decisions
Thanks to Forte Marketing’s guidance, PicAppoint avoided launching an underperforming website and instead went live with a fully optimized, high-performing digital presence.
