TABLE OF CONTENTS

Overview:

Our client, a B2B service agency specializing in UX/UI design, mobile app development, and product innovation, was struggling with stagnant organic growth and limited lead generation. Their target market included Founders, CXOs, CPOs, and CTOs across the United States and Europe, but their website wasn't attracting the right audience.

The Challenge

1. Stagnant Organic Growth
The website had low traffic and limited brand awareness, making it difficult for potential customers to discover their services.

2. Lack of High-Quality Backlinks
They had very few authoritative backlinks, preventing them from ranking higher in search results.

3. Insufficient Lead Generation
Organic channels weren’t contributing enough qualified leads to sustain and scale their sales pipeline.

The Solution

We implemented a multi-pronged growth strategy focused on content marketing, digital PR, and link building to drive organic visibility and lead generation.

Digital PR Using Research Reports

  • We created data-driven research reports targeting their ICP’s key pain points.
  • These reports were strategically pitched to industry publications, earning high-authority backlinks and positioning the brand as a thought leader.

Content-Led Growth for the Bottom Funnel

  • Developed high-intent, conversion-focused content targeting bottom-funnel keywords.
  • Optimized existing service pages and created in-depth guides to align with customer search behavior.

Link Building with Guest Posts & Link Insertions

  • Secured 70+ high-quality backlinks from relevant industry websites through guest posting and contextual link insertions.
  • Improved website authority and keyword rankings for critical service pages.

What Worked Well
Identifying "High Impressions, Low CTR" videos gave clear targets for improvement.
Experimenting with different thumbnails to figure out the best performing thumbnail.
What Didn’t Work as Expected
Expressions drive emotions, and the original thumbnail lacked that visual punch with strong facial emotions.
Overuse of a positive narrative - Instead of making the title or thumbnail opinionated or controversial, it was too neutral to create intrigue.
