SEO, Website Optimization
In my digital marketing work for Bean In Nature, I provided ongoing SEO strategy and website management. I conducted keyword research and implemented target terms across the site’s content, which secured a confirmed first-page Google ranking (#4) for “nature summer camps san jose.” I also restructured the site’s navigation, simplifying the menu structure for a more user-friendly experience, and resolved technical issues — including coordinating with the hosting provider to properly configure the site’s SSL certificate and addressing page-editing challenges within the Weebly platform. Additionally, I proposed a blog setup, refined design elements, and advised on integrating Yelp listings to strengthen the site’s local presence.
