The Challenge
SearchElevate, a mid-sized SEO agency, struggled to stand out in a crowded market. Despite having talented staff and successful client campaigns, their own website traffic plateaued at 5,000 monthly visitors. They needed to:
- Establish thought leadership in the SEO space
- Build high-quality backlinks to improve domain authority
- Generate qualified leads for their services
Our Strategy
We implemented a three-pronged guest posting approach:
1. Authority Building
Targeted placements on SEO industry publications like Search Engine Journal and Moz Blog
2. Local SEO Focus
