In the fiercely competitive world of online retail, a promising startup found itself struggling to make its mark. Despite investing heavily in SEO and content marketing, the company was not achieving the desired traction.

The root of the problem?

A significant lack of high-quality, relevant backlinks—a crucial factor in search engine ranking, especially in a competitive industry like online retail. Recognizing the need for a targeted intervention, Banter Marketo stepped in to overhaul the company’s link-building strategy, setting a new course towards digital success.

  • Inadequate Backlink Portfolio
    Initially, the company had only 50 backlinks, with a majority from low-authority sites, contributing little to SEO performance.
  • SEO Strategy Falling Short
    Without a robust backlink strategy, the company’s otherwise comprehensive SEO efforts failed to improve search engine rankings significantly.
  • Limited Outreach Success
    Previous attempts at outreach for guest posting and backlink acquisition had a success rate of merely 2%, highlighting the need for a more effective approach.

    The in-house team lacked the expertise in advanced link-building tactics, hindering their ability to navigate the complex landscape of SEO effectively.
