Freeport Ship Services is the leading & largest ship, logistics, trucking and customs brokerage agency in Grand Bahama. They provide a litany of different services to all kinds of vessels that dock at all ports on Grand Bahama Island.

With a vast array of local as well as international clientele, they have garnered a huge amount of experience and is considered the leading port agency within the region.

Freeport Ship Services’ primary clientele are internationally-based. Any company looking for them couldn’t find their digital storefront, because their direct competitors led in all key search terms on all search engines.

There was indeed a long journey ahead of us to get them not just digitally rebranded, but ranked in SERP (search engine results placement).

Next, we proceeded to develop a new website for them by deploying Information Architecture planning through the existing sitemap, site structure, naming and labeling schemes and best navigation practices.

We aligned and unified the design with that of it's corporate branding and executed deep-linking methodologies to help improve their overall content score within all search engines.

With the digital refresh done, the site was successfully launched, new sitemap submitted to all search engines, and a paid Google AdWords campaign was executed to give them an SEP during the initial post-launch phase.

Somewhat unheard of, a process that usually takes six (6) months to see a ranking change, we saw within the first two months after launching the new website. They were ranked #1 in the top 6 SERPs in all their targeted keywords and above their competitor's keywords and SEP on Google.

This resulted in (non-paid traffic of):
