Hardalis Recycling Macedonia
ORHardalis Recycling Macedoniais active in the purchase and recycling of old metals in Northern Greece. Thousands of searches every month for prices of copper, bronze and other metals.
The goal was top positions on Google, and especially onAI Overview, for searches of high commercial value.
Anyone who writes "copper price today" wants a number, and wants it now, as does anyone lookingtransport Athens Thessaloniki. If it doesn't find it on the first screen, it goes back to the results.
The company had the price content, but the articles weren't easy to read, the service pages didn't have proper metas, and the reader didn't have a next step.
01
Metal prices constantly changing, so content that needs to stay up to date
02
Competition from other recyclers and price aggregator sites
03
Articles without style, with text across the width of the screen and no images in the body
04
Blog page with small H1 on mobile, no intro and pagination that hid articles
05
No calling or visiting within the price articles
Our approach
Step 01
Price is the answer.
Guides for copper, bronze, aluminum, batteries and cables, with the information requested by the user at the beginning and the details by type of metal afterwards. This structure makes an articlecandidate source for AI Overview.
Step 02
Each service, its own snippet.
Nineteen pages got a new title and description: the original, the recycling and withdrawal services, the blog and the trust pages. No branding on service pages so all title space goes to the word the customer is searching for.
Step 03
The reader does not get tired.
One CSS for all articles, within the Elementor kit, so that it applies to all future ones. 820px reading width, price tables with dark heading, content box, FAQ cards and correct breakpoints for mobile.
Images in each article, with Greek alts
Closed comments on all articles
Step 04
From the price to the phone.
At the end of each article, a text box corresponding to the topic, for copper, aluminum or car retirement. Two buttons: call and the relevant service page, which also gains an internal link.
Step 05
The blog became a showcase.
New H1 for scrap prices and metal guides, introduction mentioning the company's experience since 1977, the newest article on a large card and everything else on one page. No article is hidden on a second page anymore.
