6. Market Keyword Trends
The following terms are
of much interest to
GoPro, as seen in the
Google Trends Chart:
Action Camera
Waterproof Camera
Waterproof Digital Camera
7. A SMALL RED FLAG
GoPro does not come up on any of the
first few pages if you Google search the
term “Action Camera”
Is this GoPro’s attempt to avoid being
branded as only an “Action Camera”
company?
Are they being too brand centric and
missing out on a sector of the market?
Or, are they fighting to not limit
themselves?
8. Competitive Search Trends
GoPro needs to
continuously
monitor the
competition
Highly recognizable
brand names such
as Sony have the
potential to steal a
large percentage of
GoPro’s market
share
10. On-Page Optimization
CRAWLABILITY/TECHNICAL
PERFORMANCE: A-
There is some room for improvement…
No Robots.txt found, links to XML sitemap
No HTML sitemap found
However…
Site uses Google Analytics, Google & Bing
Webmaster Tools well
Intruiging 404 Page
11. On-Page Optimization
RELEVANCE: B
This section requires the most attention!
GoPro is looking to broaden their target market
by not limiting themselves by referring to their
products as “Action Cameras”
But simultaneously, they are missing out on a
huge sector of the market
GoPro needs to utilize keywords or descriptions
to ensure they come up under the right searches
Additionally, some of their pages could use more
description and less images
12. Off-Page Optimization
POPULARITY: A
These rankings
were evaluated
using GoPro’s
main product page
and similar
competitor’s
product pages
Some of the URLs
did not even work
on compete.com
13. Conversion Optimization
Conversion: A
Site sticks to best practices
Mobile site is accessible
All of the forms work properly
Could potentially benefit from further trust
signals outside of using consumers own
videos to advertise as well as social media
platforms
14. External Focus
Website popularity
Website is overall attractive and eye catching
with the right content for the brand
Competitive analysis
GoPro needs to remember the market is very
competitive and that strong brands such as
Sony, Canon, and Polaroid are capable of
dominating
15. Internal Focus
Crawlability and Relevance
We recommend creating an HTML sitemap
that looks like the rest of the site and has links
to all of the site's major pages
There needs to be a robots.txt file
The file should deindex pages of the site that
shouldn't appear in search. It should also
contain a line that points to the XML sitemap
17. Recommendations- Now
Use more keywords!
The term “Action Camera” is currently underutilized
More product descriptions
If they are going to be “Brand Centric”, then the website
needs more detailed Brand Description on the Website
EXAMPLE:
“GoPro is the world’s leading activity image-capture
company. They defined a new marketplace with an
innovative line of small, rugged, weatherproof cameras
that let anyone capture and share their adventures. Now
available in over 50 countries through major retailers, like
Best Buy, they continue to push the boundaries of
wearable, gear-mounted cameras and accessories.”
19. Recommendations- For the Future
Stay in touch with the competition!
Promote your products as well as your
brand!
Possibly reduce the amount of images
and videos on the home page
It is somewhat overdone or overwhelming
20. This is your company. Be a HERO.
