Context

Starting from absolute zero.

This B2B services company launched with a clean website but zero search presence. New domain. No backlinks. No domain authority. The services were competitive, and competitors had been building SEO for years.

Most agencies would have said “come back in 6 months when you have some authority.” We saw an opportunity: a blank slate means no technical debt, no bad backlinks to disavow, no legacy content to fix. Every decision from day one could be SEO-optimized.

Approach

What we did.

Built the SEO foundation before the paint dried.

01

Technical Setup from Day One

Proper URL structure, schema markup, sitemaps, robots.txt, canonical tags, and Core Web Vitals optimized before launch. Zero technical debt from the start.

02

Keyword-Driven Content Strategy

Researched every service keyword the target market searched for. Built service pages optimized for commercial intent. Created supporting content targeting informational queries in the same funnel.

03

Internal Linking Architecture

Structured every page as part of a connected web. Service pages linked to case studies. Case studies linked to blog posts. Blog posts linked back to services. Google saw a coherent site, not a collection of pages.

Timeline

How it unfolded.
