1. Market & Client Profile
The client is a mid-sized SaaS provider specializing in web-based business applications aimed at improving operational workflows for distributed teams. Operating in a highly competitive segment with established enterprise software platforms, the company needed to strengthen its digital footprint and reduce dependency on paid acquisition.
The target audience included:
- B2B technology buyers
- Operations managers and department leads
- Organizations seeking low-code or automated solutions
Market characteristics included rapid innovation cycles, dense informational SERPs, and strong content saturation in the “workflow automation” and “business application” clusters.
2. Performance Obstacles & Growth Goals
At the outset, the client faced several structural and competitive barriers:
Primary Challenges

Stated Objectives
- Increase non-branded organic traffic by at least 70%

3. Strategic Framework & SEO Growth Model
Core Strategic Pillars
- Technical Optimization to fix crawl waste and indexation gaps
