SEO for Shipton's Big R
Project Overview
Shipton's Big R started working with our Montana SEO team in 2020 to promote their chain of retail stores. They began by hiring our team to increase their search visibility in Billings. In time, we created a local SEO strategy that works for all four towns with physical retail stores.
Shipton's Big R also needed our marketing professionals to split the focus of their SEO between their physical and online stores. So, their marketing strategy needed elements of both local and eCommerce SEO.
