Congrats to our amazing clients, with winnings in the following categories:

emfluence helped Tension grow organic search visibility and performance by diving deep into their strategy, understanding how the customers search, and implementing on-page and technical SEO updates on www.TensionEnvelope.com .

Centriq Training: Bronze Award for Organic Search Engine Marketing (SEO)
Bronze Award winner Centriq Training partnered with emfluence to help them grow organic search visibility and organic search performance for centriq.com. Given the external restrictions on making updates to user-facing copy on the main structure of Centriq Training’s website, emfluence decided the best approach to growing organic search traffic for the new IT career program would be to create completely new pages for Centriq Training’s Kansas City and St. Louis locations. Combining “behind the scenes” tactics with local search optimization, emfluence added a 68% increase in organic entries, 140% in form completions, and a 169% increase in clicks.
