The Challenge

Block Scientific wanted to improve their online exposure and search engine performance. After their website was launched, Block Scientific contacted us to develop an efficient SEO solution for identifying target keywords and optimizing their website. We have been working with this company for quite some time now and have helped the business become really successful as a lab equipment dealer. We currently handle their SEO, social media marketing, PPC and email marketing requirements. We have also redesigned their store to give it a more user-friendly and modern feel.

The original site had a very dated look and did not always attract the targeted visitors. To meet the latest trends in website design and search engine algorithmic updates, attract targeted customers, ensure faster conversions, and to make it easy for people to buy their products, we needed to redesign the site.

We had to make their two websites, www.blockscientific.com and www.blockscientificstore.com responsive, dynamic and mobile friendly. We took up the challenge and carried out all the SEO changes in addition to the redesign of both the websites to make them more attractive and user-friendly. We regularly updated the product information and the blog section with information dealing with product launches, events, etc. There were a host of other solutions we offered as well.
