Case Mollie: No-dip website relaunch of Mollie.com
The jury felt that the ‘ruthless prioritisation’ of SEO as part of the migration process was a great approach. The close collaboration of the SEO team with the dev team was excellent and a superb example of disciplines working together. The results were strong with an overall positive impact post-migration, which for a website with such a broad international focus was a very good achievement.
Baba Hausmann, Senior Search Engine Optimist bij Mollie: ‘This award honors the hard work Mollie’s SEO team and partners have put behind a complex project with high expectations. With ruthless prioritisation and our love of SEO, we managed a no-dip website relaunch, a performance we couldn’t even dream of! Thanks to the Friends of Search jury for their support and vote.’
