2.5x Increase in High-Quality Calls in Just 2.5 Months | Linkflow

Background

We wanted more leads coming through the website, and we wanted them to be qualified leads that turn into booked calls. To do this, we needed more organic traffic. So we worked on our own link building efforts, carefully picking the pages and anchors according to a sound plan that we’d seen work for many clients.

The problem is the B2B marketing arena is notoriously cutthroat when it comes to marketing and SEO – of course it is, we’re the experts – and despite our efforts to build links to critical pages, we weren’t achieving the results we wanted.

That gave us two options: stick to our path and hope something changed, or try something new. We chose the latter route.

While our pages were optimized for search, our blog content and topical authority was lacking.

Our topics were all over the place, ranging from internal linking best practices to explanations of what DR and DA are. Additionally, each piece was a standalone blog without any sort of clustering and internal linking strategy. We didn’t have pillars supported by related content and nothing was working together to build our authority about individual topics.

We were just creating content to create content, believing the old fallacy, “if you build it, they will come.”

Getting Started

To start, we had to revamp the way we approached keyword research. We had always targeted any keyword that was remotely relevant to SEO. The problem with this is that our ideal customers weren’t necessarily searching for the keywords we were writing about. For example, someone searching for “Fiverr Backlinks” doesn’t quite fully understand the value of backlinks and therefore probably isn’t a good fit. A similar, but significantly more relevant, keyword for us would be “link building pricing” or perhaps “link building packages.” We rank on page 1 for both of these keywords now, among many others. Moving forward, we are taking a more strategic approach to selecting our keywords. We also decided to niche down our content strategy around link building and SaaS topics specifically instead of broad SEO topics.
