Goals

This client was already bringing in thousands of organic visitors every month when we started working with them. Their goal was to double that and bring in, even more, leads from a thriving organic channel.

They shared some of their aims with us:

  • To remain an industry leader in the email marketing space by constantly having a presence online.
  • To increase sign-ups coming in from organic traffic and reduce reliance on paid acquisition techniques.
  • Getting mentioned and linked to from DR 70+ blog posts with a minimum traffic level of 5000 visitors every month.

The solution to that problem was to get amazing backlinks and create content that leaves Google’s jaw on the floor.

SEO is easy if you stay focused on the right things. We targeted a set list of landing pages and blog posts every month that needed a boost in rankings.

Keyword Rankings

When we started working with this email marketing platform, they were ranking in the top 3 spots on Google for only 1711 keywords.
