Back to the written case study

Despite the lack of back links or black magic, this didn’t stop us from outranking brands like HubSpot and LinkedIn.

Why?

Because Google’s goal isn’t to show the page with the most backlinks.

Or the page with the highest domain rating.

It’s to show the user the highest qualitymost relevant pages for any given search query.

And by focusing 100% of our efforts on publishing the highest quality, most relevant content for every keyword we target, we out-compete competitors with giant budgets all day every day.

If you know how Google actually works, you’ll understand why backlinks aren’t necessary

Building a buyer persona

Identifying how your target audience searches at the bottom of the funnel is easy.

But ambitious brands want to meet their target audience across the entire funnel.

And when we understand who our audience is, we can guess what they’re searching for.

We identified AnyLead’s audience as searchers responsible for revenue generation,and because AnyLeads builds lead generation products on top of LinkedIn and email, we wanted to focus specifically on searches looking to grow their business through these channels.

Then we used Ahrefs to develop a list of thousands of keywords that would get us in-front of that audience.

The keyword research focused around:

  1. Email
  2. Lead generation
  3. B2B Sales / marketing

This is a direct exports from Ahrefs. Click the tabs at the bottom of the Google Sheet to look at the keywords in the Email list.

Opportunity Analysis

We took our list of thousands of keywords and imported them into ClusterAi.

ClusterAi is a keyword grouping tool that takes large keyword lists and groups keywords that can rank together into unique topics.

ClusterAi changes keyword research from an art to a science:

  1. Map out every page of content you need to create to rank for all of the keywords in your list
  2. Allows marketers with no SEO experience to do expert level keyword research
  3. Eliminates human error by using data directly from Google to determine which keywords can rank together

It does this by scraping the rankings for each keyword, and comparing the results against each other.

If there are 3 or more pages in the first 10 search results that rank for a set of keywords, we can probably rank that set of keywords with one page.

But if there are 2 or less pages that rank that set of keywords, it’s unlikely we can rank for both keywords with one page.

Here is what that looks like.

  1. Main Keyword is the keyword with the most search volume in a keyword group
  2. Group searches is the sum of monthly searches across all keywords in a group
  3. Variations is a list of all the keyword variations that can rank with the main keyword

Now that we have our keywords grouped into unique pages, we can figure out:

  1. Which opportunities are the highest priority based on intent, total search volume and competition
  2. Determine how many pages we need to write to rank for the opportunities identified
  3. How much it’s going to cost (use our SEO ROI calculator to forecast potential outcomes)

Save dozens of hours and automate your B2B SaaS keyword research with ClusterAi

Then we can decide our publishing velocity.

Do we want to publish our content calendar in 12 months? Or 6 months?

Remember, we can’t rank for a keyword until we have a page about that keyword, so brands that publish faster see the fastest SEO results.

Once we understand how fast we want to publish, we can calculate:

  1. Monthly budget
  2. How many writers we need

On the AnyLeads project we decided to publish 70 pages of content as fast as possible.

Brand Champ (B2B Martech)

BrandChamp.io is a B2B SaaS that helps e-commerce brands scale their influencer, affiliate, and ambassador programs to thousands of participants.

Their product is critical for brands looking to scale past spreadsheets and a couple of dozen influencers.

BrandChamp has a seriously impressive offering that their customers love, but until we began working together, no one else had heard about them.

When their target audience was evaluating options, BrandChamp wasn’t under consideration.

Because up until we started working together, their only acquisition strategy was cold email outreach.

BrandChamp had a serious awareness problem.

The challenge

BrandChamp is self-funded and bootstrapped.

They didn’t have a big marketing budget, or really, any marketing budget at all.

Their founders didn’t take a paycheck so that they could instead fund their organic search investment.

Fortunately, BrandChamp chose contentdistribution.com.

The Results

contentdistribution.com helped BrandChamp rank above, and out-compete their well-funded, and much bigger competitors.

Their competitors have more money, more domain authority, and more backlinks.

And we ranked BrandChamp above them.

We brought BrandChamp SQLs from some huge names in e-commerce.

Like really huge.

And we did it without building backlinks or spending time on complicated technical activities.

Everything you know about SEO is a lie. Learn how Google really works (based on 65,000 1st page keywords).

Seriously, everything you know about SEO is a lie.

Our projects currently have over 65,000 first-page keywords, and we don’t build backlinks or get into complicated technical activities.

Do yourself a favor and read the blog post linked above.

There is a lot going on in the screenshot above.

It’s a screenshot from Ahrefs.com, the #1 tool for SEOs.

And what you’re looking at is the first page of search results for ‘Brand Ambassador Program.’

One of the most valuable keywords for which BrandChamp could rank.

There are only two places on which you need to focus.

The ‘DR’ column.

And the ‘backlinks column.’

DR or Domain Rating is a proprietary score Ahrefs has created to evaluate how strong, or authoritative, a domain is.

The higher the DR, the more authoritative the domain.

The more authoritative a domain is, the easier it ranks.

YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook have a DR of 100.

The website you created yesterday has 0.

And backlinks is pretty self-explanatory, it’s the number of backlinks pointing to a page.

Notice how BrandChamp ranks above its competitors which have a higher Domain Rating and more backlinks?

That’s not a fluke.

We did it again

And again

BrandChamp crushing much larger, more authoritative competitors.

And again

And again

And again

Without building backlinks or getting into complicated technical activities.

Learn why BrandChamp outranks competitors with more money, more domain authority, and more backlinks.

But it doesn’t stop there.

We leveraged our organic search traffic to drive traction across other acquisition channels.

The next set of terms are a mix between consumers looking to rep a brand, and brands looking for ambassadors.

Check out the rankings.

Then learn how we funnel the different audiences down different paths in a way that allows BrandChamp to generate massive amounts of value.

Supplement brand ambassador

Fitness brand ambassador

Clothing brand ambassador

Only about five to ten percent of this traffic is businesses:

  1. Looking for brand ambassadors
  2. Doing competitive due diligence on how brands like them are leveraging brand ambassadors

And the very first thing they see when clicking onto any of these pages is a message speaking directly to them, linking them to:

  • An amazing case study of a brand just like them generating significant amounts of revenue using BrandChamp
  • A product landing page about the platform

Monetizing B2C traffic

Only five to ten percent of the traffic hitting these clothing, fitness, and supplement-brand-ambassador blog posts are businesses.

The tactic we used to create value from the consumer audience going to these blog posts is pretty clever.

Marketers love Facebook groups.

There are tons of Facebook Groups dedicated to connecting e-commerce brands to influencers and ambassadors.

A lot of these groups are owned by companies like BrandChamp, selling to e-commerce brands. Usually, they sell to some kind of influencer SaaS or influencer marketing agencies.

These groups attract a lot of e-commerce brands seeking influencers to promote their products.

Here is how the workflow looks:

  • E-commerce brands search Facebook for Groups they can use to recruit influencers
  • Brands join as many groups as they can find and post a request in the groups with an offer
  • The companies that own these groups message the e-commerce brand

So, for example, immediately after we speak to the e-commerce brands that hit BrandChamp’s ‘supplement fitness ambassador’ blog post, we speak to the consumer audience that is looking for brands to promote.

And we funnel this traffic to a Facebook Group owned by BrandChamp.

Check out the results:

Learn why BrandChamp ranks above competitors with higher domain authority and more backlinks.

Does organic search sound like a viable growth lever?

Archive360 (B2B Records Management)

Archive360.com plays in the b2b enterprise data space helping companies like Netflix, 3M and Samsung  manage terabytes of employee generated  communication data required by various laws and legislation governing records management and retention.

Buyer Persona

Our buyer persona analysis indicated Archive360’s target audience is corporate IT departments searching for information related to the 3rd party products Archive360 integrates with, including products from Microsoft, Dell and Symantec.

Keyword research

We used ahrefs to develop a list of keywords related to the 3rd party systems that indicates that the person behind the search fits our buyer persona.

Opportunity analysis

We used ClusterAi to group the list of thousands of keywords into unique content topics.

This helped Archive360:

  1. Understand how their buyer persona was searching
  2. How many pages of content they need to publish to rank for all of the opportunities we identified to get in-front of their target audience
  3. The total cost of content
  4. How long it would take to saturate the funnel and appear everywhere their target audience is searching
  5. And the monthly budget required to hit their publishing goals

And we crushed it.

Results

Archive360’s ranks for more than a dozen 3rd party companies.

So when a searcher is looking for information about specific Microsoft, Dell, Symantec products,  or one of another dozen products, Archive360 appears.

We position our content to give the user what they expect to read.

Then transition the content into a problem / solution of how Archive360 helps organizations using these products.
