Case Study for Funera Sydney:
Funera Sydney – A Family-Owned Funeral Service Provider
Introduction
Funera Sydney is a family-owned funeral service provider offering affordable cremation and dignified farewell arrangements throughout Greater Sydney. Under the leadership of Scott Harris, the company has built its reputation around empathy, transparency, and personalized support during life’s most sensitive moments. Specializing in cost-conscious cremation packages, Funera Sydney offers a critical service for families who seek respectful alternatives without excessive financial pressure.
However, despite its strong community presence and exceptional service, Funera Sydney struggled to make its offerings visible in digital search results—particularly for high-intent keywords such as “cremation services Sydney” and “affordable funeral director.”
The Challenge
Like many businesses in traditional industries, Funera Sydney recognized that consumer behavior had shifted. Families were increasingly researching funeral options online, making search engine visibility a non-negotiable aspect of client acquisition.
Yet, their website was under-optimized for organic search:
- Core services weren’t ranking on Google’s first page.
- Blogs were missing or not aligned with search intent.
- Technical SEO issues hindered overall performance.
Scott Harris needed a solution that would not only increase inbound traffic but also position Funera Sydney as a credible, compassionate authority in a highly sensitive service sector.
The A+ Virtual Pro Solution
To resolve these challenges, Funera Sydney partnered with A+ Virtual Pro for a comprehensive SEO content and consultation engagement. Our team crafted a dual-track strategy that targeted both on-page content quality and technical SEO infrastructure.
Phase 1: SEO-Driven Content Writing to Align with Search Intent
A+ Virtual Pro began by developing a content strategy aligned with funeral service buyer intent, leveraging keyword research tools to identify what Sydney-based families were searching for.
Key Objectives:
- Position Funera Sydney as a knowledge resource.
- Increase visibility for critical keywords (e.g., cremation services Sydney, low-cost funeral director).
- Build trust with high-empathy, high-utility articles.
Our blog topics focused on key concerns families have when arranging a funeral, such as:
- The benefits of affordable cremation services over traditional burials.
- Understanding the cremation process and how it works.
- How to choose the right funeral director in Sydney.
- The emotional and financial benefits of pre-planning funeral arrangements.
By providing valuable, informative, and keyword-rich content, Funera Sydney’s blog became a helpful resource for families, while also improving the website’s search rankings on Google.
Phase 2: Technical SEO Audit and On-Page Optimization
In parallel with content development, A+ Virtual Pro conducted a technical SEO audit to uncover on-site issues that were limiting search performance. This included an analysis of:
- Page speed and mobile responsiveness
- Metadata optimization (title tags, meta descriptions)
- Image alt-text usage
- URL structures
- Crawlability and indexation
- Internal link health
Recommendations Implemented:
- Compressed image files to boost page speed by 28%
- Added keyword-rich metadata to key service pages
- Improved mobile layout to align with Google’s Mobile-First Indexing
