Background

Our journey began with a software-as-a-service (SaaS) provider, distinguished by its high-value contracts and a focus on delivering specialized software solutions. Despite the industry’s competitive nature and the high cost-per-click (CPC) rates of some keywords costing up to $130 per click, the client’s website was ripe for growth. It boasted quality content and had secured a few coveted first-page rankings. However, a strategic overhaul was necessary to attract more clients to capitalize on the lucrative opportunities within their niche, potentially increasing annual revenues by over $100,000 per client.

Comprehensive SEO Audit

The foundation of our strategy was a thorough SEO audit, a critical step for understanding the website’s current standing and identifying avenues for improvement. We evaluated the site’s keyword rankings, traffic trends, link profile, and anchor text distribution, confirming the absence of penalties and identifying a stagnant traffic growth pattern. A key insight was the site’s need for a stronger link profile to enhance its link equity, coupled with a strategy for consistent, high-quality content production.

The "Easy Wins" Keyword Analysis

Identifying Quick Wins: Our research unearthed 114 niche-specific terms with monthly search volumes between 10-40 and an average CPC of $20. Despite their low search volumes, these keywords were incredibly lucrative due to the specific nature of the client’s software, underscoring the potential for significant ROI from ranking improvements.

Competitive Gap Analysis

A crucial component of our strategy was the competitive gap analysis, which highlighted 301 keywords with monthly searches ranging from 300 to 10,000 and associated CPC values. This analysis revealed a wealth of opportunities for new content creation and provided a roadmap for differentiating our client from its competitors in the digital space.

The SEO Campaign

Our targeted approach was carefully crafted to maximize early wins and strategically address the competitive gap:

Month 1: Featured targeted guest posts to enhance link equity with a mix of exact, naked, brand, and partial match anchors, complemented by a blog article focused on a key content gap keyword.

Month 2 and 3: Built on the momentum of the first month with a continued focus on diversified link-building and content strategies, ensuring no repetition of keywords and focusing on capturing untapped niche traffic.

Results
