AkzoNobel is a Dutch multinational leading company in manufacturing paints and coatings worldwide. Their SEO challenge is mainly focused around migrating local websites to a new global platform to improve their performance and consolidate their global and local presence. iProspect had to create a scalable and efficient way of working in order to achieve AkzoNobel’s targets within a strict timeframe. Bridging the gap between the client and their external development partner was another significant challenge that had to be overcome, in order to deliver on time and within budget.
iProspect’s strategy consisted of multiple steps to make sure global efficiency, scalability and parallel projects were all considered. Firstly, iProspect created a clear way of working for migrating local websites to the new global platform by having three stages of checks that are directly being communicated to the external development team to indicate roadblocks quickly. Secondly, iProspect helped creating a sustainable global platform by incorporating SEO best practices into the CMS requirements, which increased the potential for organic growth. Finally, iProspect has served as a global partner on content insights and optimization for both B2C and B2B markets, making sure the overall global strategy is executed locally.
With this project, AkzoNobel successfully completed several migrations on a global scale in a timely fashion.
