HOW IT ALL STARTED


One Fine Day were refered to us by our good friends 'Smack Bang Designs'. The SBD team had just completed a brand new website for One Fine Day and were ready to go live... but with one last hurdle...the old One Fine Day website had some valuable search rankings. It was important to both SmackBang and the One Fine Day team to keep and improve these rankings after switching over to their brand new website. This is where we were able to bring value to the process by partnering with One Fine Day and SBD to build a solid SEO migration + growth plan and in the end it paid for itself!

A lot of these factors have to do with the way an SEO campaign is set up, however some of the factors that really contribute to the success of the campaign are on the client end. Here's a few things that have really stood out to us when considering the success of One Fine Day.
