Challenge

The client’s site ranked poorly for industry terms, had low technical SEO scores, slow load times, and outdated content. This led to weak search visibility, low engagement, and minimal organic lead generation despite a competitive market presence.

Solution

We performed a complete SEO overhaul, added Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) for AI search, published high-authority buyer-intent content, and optimized Core Web Vitals to meet performance and UX benchmarks, improving both rankings and conversions.

Result

Organic traffic grew by 312%, average keyword ranking improved from position 43 to 7, and inbound leads rose 2.7x year-over-year. The site’s enhanced SEO and content positioned the brand as an industry leader, driving sustainable long-term growth.

Challenge

The client’s Shopify store was struggling with stagnant sales growth, low repeat purchase rates, and poor returns from paid ads despite attracting a steady flow of traffic. Their marketing lacked proper segmentation, and the CRM setup was insufficient for tracking customer journeys effectively.

Solution

We implemented AI-powered customer segmentation to target high-intent buyers, rebuilt the email nurture funnel to improve retention, optimized Google and Meta ads for better ROI, and integrated HubSpot CRM for complete sales pipeline visibility and performance tracking.

Result

Within six months, online sales increased by 109%, repeat purchases rose by 32%, and paid ads ROI improved from 1.8x to 4.5x. The client gained real-time sales insights, enabling faster decision-making and more efficient marketing spend, resulting in a sustainable growth trajectory.

Challenge

An established global fintech company launched a new website with thin content and approximately 300 organic visits per month. Although the company already had a recognized brand and customer base, the new website lacked search visibility and was not generating enough qualified traffic or leads.

Solution

We created an integrated SEO, content, GEO, and AI visibility strategy. We improved the website’s technical and content foundations, first targeted high-volume keywords with achievable competition, and then expanded into more competitive search terms. We also researched the AI topics and buyer prompts where the company was missing and created clear, structured content that could be understood and cited in AI-generated answers.

Result

Monthly organic traffic grew from 300 to 5,000 in eight months. Leads and conversions also increased, and the company’s AI visibility grew by 320%.
