10. CMS Issues – Set the foundation
• There are tens of tech signals that Google needs for
your site to rank
• Technology to technology
• Your CMS system should be evaluated by an SEO
professional to identify problems like:
– URL structures that cause duplicate content / difficult to
index
– Session IDs
– JavaScript or Flash drop down menus that can't be indexed
– Lack of support for Custom Page Titles
– Lack of support for rel=canonical tags
12. Content – The driver of traffic
• Its all about content authority
• Make sure that you distribute valid unique content regularly
that is pushing your message
• Repeated surveys* show business decision makers use the
internet widely and especially content
• 93% of B2B decision makers use the internet for business
every day
• The higher the budget the decision maker has, the more likely
search engines are in playing a role in research and decision
making
• 40% of business decision makers expect their Web usage to
increase

15. Project Summary
• Fujitsu IT Services is a leading provider of IT services
and products for the global marketplace including
applications, infrastructure and business
solutions, hardware, software and networking
• When the Fujitsu work started they Fujitsu had no
top 50 visibility under core phrases such as:
– IT Services
– IT Solutions
– IT Consulting
• Using a mixture of on-site and off-site SEO, plus a
multilingual content seeding strategy, improvements
in visiblity were made.
17. Method – Top Level
• The project started with a deep dive into the
competition, technical analysis and the on-site analytics
• Focusing preliminary on the title tags, META descriptions, the
build up of anchor tags within the Fujitsu sites and the first
two paragraphs of copy within each page
– This was done this way due to the content control hierarchy being
complex and the limitations within the CMS
• The external links were created through link-baiting using
White-Papers and “BIG” news. Other methods were also used
for external endorsing of the site/pages
• Realizing the potential of Google Universal search, the focus
was on writing content endorsing Fujitsu as the leader in its
field, with the goals to:
– Maximize brand visibility
– Gain further online endorsement through controlled content
– Saturate search results, such as Web, Blog and News
18. The Competiton
• Among the competitors looked at while preparing for
the project were:
– IBM, Atos Origin, Capgemini and Logica

organic and PPC strategies, focusing on
understanding their:
– PPC efforts such as creative’s, targeted keywords and
budget
