Optimising website content to show up in the most relevant Search Engine Result Pages (SERPs).
By removing irrelevant audiences, digital marketing efforts can be focused on those with the highest conversion potential.
MOL Learn provide online courses to help users earn professional qualifications that will advance their careers in a variety of areas including HR, Project Management and Conveyancing.
We have worked with them since 2017 developing their digital strategy and improving their site performance.
With a high level of competition in the virtual learning space, we had to ensure that we didn’t only work to get discovered by relevant audiences but that we also worked to keep them engaged on the site with optimal user experience.
Objective
After working to increase the level of traffic coming to their website, the focus for 2019 was to increase the relevancy of the audience to increase the likelihood of a conversion.
What we did
We carried out an in depth link audit across the site to remove spam links and build links with reliable, high authority sites that would increase the domain authority of MOL. We also revised on page and off page keywords to prioritise terms that were the most likely to result in a conversion on the site. Alongside this, we implemented small technical SEO fixes including removing broken code and fixing 403 errors to improve the performance of the site for users.
Results
We decreased the bounce rate by 27% and saw a 2% increase in pages per session demonstrating a more engaged and relevant audience. YoY traffic decreased by 8% while visits to the registry pages increased by 500% highlighting a higher conversion potential for the brand with irrelevant visits removed.
We’ve worked with Logic Digital for 3 years and we’ve continued to receive excellent service from a confident and supportive team.

Frequently Asked Questions – FAQs
What is “irrelevant website traffic” in SEO, and why should I remove it?
Irrelevant website traffic refers to visitors who land on your site but aren’t genuinely interested in your products or services. It often results in high bounce rates, low engagement, and minimal conversions. By removing irrelevant traffic through SEO, you direct your digital marketing efforts towards a more engaged and valuable audience—boosting quality metrics and conversion opportunities.
How do I identify and remove irrelevant traffic using SEO techniques?
Start with a comprehensive SEO audit: perform a backlink evaluation to discard spammy links, review on-page and off-page keyword relevance, fix technical issues (like broken code or 404 errors), and weed out low‑value pages. These measures not only eliminate unhelpful visits but also enhance user engagement—lowering bounce rate and increasing pages per session
What on‑page SEO adjustments help in filtering out irrelevant audiences?
Optimise title tags, meta descriptions, and content to include high-intent, conversion-oriented keywords that align with your target persona. Remove outdated or generic content, refine keyword targeting, and focus on creating contextually rich pages that serve user intent. Such subtle yet targeted content tweaks attract qualified visitors and dissuade the irrelevant ones.
Why is link auditing important for improving SEO traffic quality?
A link audit uncovers harmful or irrelevant backlinks that erode your site’s authority and draw the wrong visitors. By removing spammy links and building connections with high-authority, niche-relevant sites, you signal trustworthiness to search engines and attract a more precise audience—optimising both relevance and conversion rates.
