🚀SEO Case Study: From 0 to 80K Monthly Visitors

Role: SEO Strategist
Timeline: January 1 – November 11, 2023

Project Overview

A content publisher approached us with a clear objective: grow organic traffic from scratch and meet the eligibility requirements for Raptive, a premium ad network with high content and traffic standards.

At the time of engagement, the site had no established organic presence, no keyword strategy, and no blog content aligned with SEO best practices.

What We Did

1. Keyword Research with Topical Authority Focus

We delivered a comprehensive list of low-competition, easy-to-rank keywords across clusters designed to support topical authority. Each cluster was built to align with search intent while forming a strong internal linking structure over time.

This approach was not about isolated keyword targeting. It was structured to help Google recognize the site as a trustworthy, in-depth resource in its niche.

2. SEO Content Writing Recommendations

In addition to keyword research, we provided detailed content writing guidelines focused on:

  • Search-intent alignment
  • SEO-friendly structure using headings and subheadings
  • Natural keyword placement
  • Internal linking based on keyword clusters
  • On-page best practices to support indexing and ranking

The client followed these guidelines precisely, implementing all recommendations across their blog strategy.

The Results

In less than 11 months, the site achieved the following:

  • 343,000+ users
  • 596,000+ pageviews
  • 391,000+ sessions
  • An increase of over 1,000% across all key metrics

This growth directly contributed to the site meeting Raptive’s requirements and securing ad network approval.

All traffic was organic, driven solely by implementing the keyword strategy and content structure we delivered.

This project demonstrates the impact of delivering targeted SEO inputs—low-competition keywords backed by topical authority principles, and actionable content recommendations based on Google’s current algorithm standards.

The client executed the strategy as delivered, and the results followed.

If you’re looking for a performance-driven SEO approach with clear deliverables and measurable outcomes, this case stands as proof of what’s possible.
