The starting point

The company's landing pages neither ranked nor produced leads, and organic search was close to unused as a channel.

What changed

Revive the landing pages

Pages that sat idle were reworked so they could rank and bring in leads.

A content engine

Informational articles, listicles and link-magnet pieces covered the topics buyers read about.

A partnership link flywheel

Deals with other SaaS brands earned backlinks that suited both sides.

How the work ran, step by step

  1. Publish at scale

    Blogs, listicles and link-worthy pieces went out in volume.

  2. Route authority to money pages

    Solid internal linking moved the value of that content to the pages that sell.

  3. Trade value with SaaS partners

    Mutually useful arrangements with other software companies produced the links.

Lessons for B2B software companies

  1. Check existing landing pages before commissioning new ones. Fixing what exists is often the fastest gain.
  2. Internal links decide whether blog traffic ever helps the pages that sell.
  3. Other SaaS companies are natural link partners when the deal works for both.
