Case Studies
We have worked with a wonderful variety of clients in different industries to help them promote their efforts more effectively online. We have promoted businesses in Europe, Asia ( China and South Korea) and North America. We are proud of every brand that we have assisted over the years. Each one of them has given us a chance to improve our skills and achieve new rankings for some of the most competitive terms in the industry. What follow are just a few of most prestigious clients that we have had the honor to work for and have enabled us to secure some of the most incredible rankings. Each of the following projects are a blend of old and new case studies from Norway, Italy, the UK, Denmark and the U.S.
The following are some examples of projects which are either ongoing or done in the past. The owner of these domains sent their inquiries via maria-johnsen.com. Therefore we documented these case studies on here. In general more than 6000 small and big projects were outsourced to our company Golden Way Media such as: multilingual content writing, software promotion, various digital marketing projects, b2b sales, whitehat hacking, software design along with technical support of complex information systems.Some of our clients went offline and now are running their shops and stores within sunglasses and clothing. They started their online store with us and because of increase in sales, they preferred to operate offline due to volume of work. Running an offline store is indeed a demanding job. Enjoy reading these case studies. Please note that we have accomplished hundreds of digital marketing projects since 2008.

Shelmetcasting.com project
industrial
project: SEO
The Company: Over the past several decades, American manufacturing companies have let their jobs slip away to European and Asian competitors. In fact, over the past decade almost 50,000 American manufacturing businesses closed down, thousands of which were investment casting companies that were part of the foundation to the American economy. As the Dot Com meltdown hit in the early part of the 21st century, one of the biggest recessions landed in the laps of US businesses. Over this time, many other countries that didn’t have the same job or labor manufacturing requirements received millions of jobs that would have otherwise stayed in America. At the time, the big attraction for buying overseas castings was cost. The lower cost of manufacturing overseas pulled these jobs from American shores and even undercut the “Buy American” slogans that were pervasive in the country at the time.
Shelmet provides, with notable resources, to assist in solving casting design and manufacturing problems. They specialize in assisting with the selection of the right materials, manufacturing and quality specifications. Also, they help with process development and the proper performance criteria that is needed to achieve the goal.
The Goal: Branding and obtaining the website eon top for their keywords and phrases.
The Strategy: SEO link building, better branding on social media, video creation and distribution The Result: The website received a top 3 ranking for their keywords and phrases. The client was simply incredible to work with as he kept open the communication lines.
