Challenges
At the beginning of the collaboration between SEOART and sigortam.net, the challenges faced in the area of technical SEO were significant. These challenges were primarily based on aligning the website structure with Google's search engine algorithms and best practices.
Technical Infrastructure and Site Structure Issues
Initially, the technical infrastructure of sigortam.net seemed to hinder the effective crawling and indexing of the site by Google's search engine crawlers (Googlebot). This issue stemmed from factors like a faulty cache mechanism, insufficient performance of the Content Delivery Network (CDN), and ineffective analysis of in-site landing pages.
Deficiencies in Content and SEO Practices
The quality of content on the site and the SEO practices were inadequate. Lack of keyword analysis, poor optimization of content for search engines and users, and an ineffective internal link structure within the site negatively impacted organic search performance.
Non-Compliance with Modern SEO Standards
Furthermore, non-compliance of the CMS structure, Structured Data implementation, URL structure, and Core Web Vitals with modern SEO standards left the site vulnerable to Google updates. Particularly, failing to rank even in the top 100 results for fundamental keywords like "insurance" and "my insurance" highlighted the severity of these technical challenges.
Lack of Visibility in Competitive Keywords
The site's inability to rank in the top 10 for important traffic-driving keywords in the insurance sector, such as "Vehicle Insurance", "Traffic Insurance", "Supplementary Health Insurance", "Private Health Insurance", "Travel Health", "DASK", and "Property Insurance", indicated a significantly limited visibility in the competitive insurance market.
These technical and content challenges were the primary obstacles that SEOART needed to overcome to achieve the set goals for sigortam.net.
Our Goals
The primary goal for sigortam.net was not just to improve the site internally but also to secure a significant position in Turkey's highly competitive insurance sector. This sector includes globally recognized insurance companies that have made substantial investments in SEO over the years. This context significantly increased the complexity and scale of the challenges we faced in ensuring the project's success.
The comprehensive restructuring of the existing content and technical infrastructure was required to make sigortam.net competitive in the online market. The main objectives of this restructuring process were:
- Competitive Analysis and In-Depth Market Study: Analyzing digital strategies, keyword performance, and content structures of competitors in the sector to develop a customized and effective SEO plan for sigortam.net.

Additionally, enhancing content quality and creating meaningful connections between contents within the site to improve user experience.
- Strategic Approach for Sustainable SEO Success: Implementing structural and content-related improvements throughout the site, managing backlink building, and effectively handling keyword optimization for long-term and sustainable SEO success.
These objectives were critical for sigortam.net to stand out among strong competitors in the sector and achieve higher visibility on search engines. SEOART's goal was to enable sigortam.net to surpass the competition in the sector and enhance its effectiveness in the digital market.
