📋 Project Overview

A B2B SaaS platform offering project management software for marketing teams. Despite strong product-market fit and a loyal user base, they had almost no organic search presence and relied entirely on paid acquisition — at an unsustainable CAC of $380 per trial signup.

Starting position
Starting position: 8 keywords in top 20, Domain Rating 24, no AI search presence, no content strategy, purely transactional landing pages.

🎯 Goal

Reach page one for 50+ target keywords within 6 months, establish brand presence in AI search (ChatGPT, Gemini), and reduce paid CAC by growing organic as a primary acquisition channel.

🔧 Solutions

Phase 1 — SEO Foundation (Month 1): Technical audit, Core Web Vitals improvements, internal link restructure, and keyword gap analysis vs. top 5 SaaS competitors.
Phase 2 — Content Strategy (Month 1–3): Built a 40-article content cluster targeting project management, marketing ops and team productivity keywords. Each article optimised for featured snippets and People Also Ask.
Phase 3 — GEO & AEO (Month 2–4): Implemented entity-based optimisation, structured data, and an AI citation strategy — getting the brand mentioned in ChatGPT and Gemini answers for target queries.
Phase 4 — Link Acquisition (Month 2–4): 42 editorial backlinks from SaaS review sites, marketing publications and productivity blogs.

📈 Results

In 4 months, organic traffic grew 180%, qualified trial signups from organic doubled, and the brand started appearing in ChatGPT answers for 6 target queries. CAC from organic is now $42 vs $380 from paid.

"They ranked us on Google and got us into ChatGPT and Perplexity answers too. The GEO strategy is genuinely next-level. Our qualified leads doubled in 4 months and our organic CAC is now 9× cheaper than paid."
