Absolutely. I’d go as far as saying it’s the best marketing software for small businesses that I’ve come across and I’ve worked in several different small business niches over the last 8 years.

Why Tidi Cable started using Hike...
-
I’ve quite a bit of experience with SEO and how it works, I’ve just always struggled with the organisational side of it. Having a single place to do keyword research, align those keywords with content from the site and then a to-do list for how we can rank for those keywords is great.
How did Hike enable these results?
Tidi-Cable started using Hike to help them compete against big hardware brands for general keyword terms. Being within the construction industry, they have always struggled in a highly competitive organic landscape.
The Hike platform helped Tidi-Cable identify many new areas for improvement that have pushed them to the top of Google’s search results. Below is an explanation of how they used the platform to help them to achieve the keyword rankings they wanted.
1. SEO strategy creation
This SEO strategy helped them understand what keywords they needed to optimize their website for and instruct the platform to generate actions against these specific keywords.
The SEO strategy helped them to understand what keywords they needed to optimize their website for, as well as instructing the platform to generate actions against these specific keywords. Completing these actions aided Tidi-Cable’s keyword ranking improvements.
2. Keyword optimization
Once the actions were generated based on the set SEO strategy, Tidi-Cable dived in and started working through them. The first step was to make sure that all of their keywords were mentioned within their most important pages. They particularly liked how Hike’s Action Engine gave them a prioritized, actionable ‘to-do’ list that they could work through each month.
The platform identified pages that were not optimized for their target keywords, and it also helped them to prioritize and work through other beneficial actions that are fundamental to their SEO performance.
3. Improving on-site content
Being an e-commerce store with many collections and products, the Tidi-Cable website has a lot of content. Content is very significant from an SEO point of view, so making sure that Google can identify keywords within their copy was crucial to achieving their desired rankings.
Hike’s content-improvement features review how well-optimized your on-page copy is (on pages such as service pages, blog pages, product pages, etc.) for your target keywords. It then provides you with specific changes to make on a page-by-page level for what you need to do to improve it from an SEO point of view. Completing these actions has helped Google to rank their pages well based on the content they have in their product and category pages.
4. And more
There’s a lot more that the Hike platform covers (such as backlink building, competitor analysis, etc.), giving Tidi-Cable further opportunities to improve its website and its keyword rankings. We are very excited to see how the platform can help our customers get to the top of Google!
