Project overview
Initial Position
The Swiss furniture market is crowded and highly competitive, mainly due to the growing number of increasingly low-priced foreign retailers, who primarily operate online shops. It is therefore all the more important for Pfister to solidify and expand its online presence. SEO is one of the tools the company is using to accomplish this goal. Webrepublic had already been providing SEA and display advertising services to Möbel Pfister when an initial SEO audit demonstrated that there was major growth potential in this area as well.
