CMS Issues – Set the foundation
• There are tens of tech signals that Google needs for your site to rank
• Technology to technology
• Your CMS system should be evaluated by an SEO professional to identify problems like:
– URL structures that cause duplicate content / difficult to index
– Session IDs
– JavaScript or Flash drop down menus that can't be indexed
– Lack of support for Custom Page Titles
– Lack of support for rel=canonical tags
Content – The driver of traffic
• Its all about content authority
• Make sure that you distribute valid unique content regularly that is pushing your message
• Repeated surveys* show business decision makers use the internet widely and especially content
• 93% of B2B decision makers use the internet for business every day
• The higher the budget the decision maker has, the more likely search engines are in playing a role in research and decision making
• 40% of business decision makers expect their Web usage to increase

Project Summary
• Fujitsu IT Services is a leading provider of IT services and products for the global marketplace including applications, infrastructure and business solutions, hardware, software and networking
• When the Fujitsu work started they Fujitsu had no top 50 visibility under core phrases such as:– IT Services
– IT Solutions
– IT Consulting
• Using a mixture of on-site and off-site SEO, plus a multilingual content seeding strategy, improvements in visiblity were made.
Method – Top Level• The project started with a deep dive into the
competition, technical analysis and the on-site analytics• Focusing preliminary on the title tags, META descriptions, the
build up of anchor tags within the Fujitsu sites and the first two paragraphs of copy within each page– This was done this way due to the content control hierarchy being
complex and the limitations within the CMS
• The external links were created through link-baiting using White-Papers and “BIG” news. Other methods were also used for external endorsing of the site/pages
• Realizing the potential of Google Universal search, the focus was on writing content endorsing Fujitsu as the leader in its field, with the goals to:– Maximize brand visibility– Gain further online endorsement through controlled content– Saturate search results, such as Web, Blog and News
The Competiton
• Among the competitors looked at while preparing for the project were:
– IBM, Atos Origin, Capgemini and Logica
• What we focused on was to „sniff“ their online organic and PPC strategies, focusing on understanding their:
– PPC efforts such as creative’s, targeted keywords and budget
– Organic keywords returning traffic and to where
– Sites returning traffic
