A phased approach: fix the foundation, build content authority, then scale with technology integrations.

Phase 1 — Week 1-2

Technical Foundation

Fix every crawlability and indexation issue. Immediate ranking lift from resolved penalties.

  • Set lang="en", add sitemap.xml + robots.txt
  • HTTPS redirect chain (canonical www + HTTPS)
  • Absolute canonical URLs on all pages
  • OG image + Twitter Cards on every page
  • Replace Baidu schema with schema.org JSON-LD
  • Add hreflang between tradedata.hk ↔ btdchina.com
  • Remove test content, fix 404 country pages
  • Submit to Google Search Console
Phase 2 — Month 1-2

Content Architecture

Build the keyword-targeted content that competitors use to dominate search.

  • 230+ country landing pages (each a keyword target)
  • Comparison articles: "TradeData vs Panjiva", "vs ImportGenius", "vs Tendata"
  • Buyer guides: "How to find suppliers using customs data"
  • Industry verticals: logistics, manufacturing, compliance
  • HS code explainer pages (high search volume)
  • Case studies from existing customers
Phase 3 — Month 2-4

  • List on G2, Capterra, Datarade, SourceForge
  • 230 country-specific directory submissions
  • Guest posts on trade/logistics publications
