Today we\u2019d like to present a short case study that outlines how we worked together and what we\u2019ve been able to achieve.<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"ca6ab2553094\">Website Review<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest issues that we\u2019ve identified were the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Website structure could be improved.<\/strong> There were plenty of useless pages that had no chance of being crawled.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Content strategy could use some work too. <\/strong>That\u2019s something that most competitors have neglected and an opportunity for us to build a stronger presence on Google.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Off-page SEO wasn\u2019t actively managed.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>We gave our advice on the first two points and took the link-building strategy into our own hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"a0132d7a1d67\">Backlink Analysis<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As we normally do &#8211; we started with a comprehensive SEO Audit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the process, we thoroughly analyzed the competition and the market itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At first glance, it seemed like the SEO performance was influenced by the May <a href=\"https:\/\/crowdo.net\/blog\/google-march-2024-core-update\/\">Google Core Update<\/a>. However, a deeper analysis revealed that the reason for stagnation was actually the COVID 19 pandemic, which resulted in a lower search volume for target keywords.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The website had some technical issues. However, the most significant drawback was the absence of links from powerful domains compared to the key competitors.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve identified the number of website pages with the highest growth potential, found similar ones in competitors\u2019 websites, and analyzed their referring domains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This helped us estimate the number of relevant backlinks, their sources and their metrics needed to achieve the best results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although there\u2019s still room for improvement, we are certain that we can outrank even the biggest competitors on the market within a few months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the end, we\u2019ve proposed a 3-month link building plan that we\u2019ve been executing with precision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"bfc817c2d165\">Link Building Plan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s how our 3-stage backlink strategy looked like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>10+ guest posts<\/strong> from niche blogs to build authority<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>About 75 Quora answers<\/strong> and<strong> 35 Reddit comments<\/strong> for awareness and diversity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Over 400 Crowdo links<\/strong> for SERP gains<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Take a look at a screenshot from our report (personal details have been masked out).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1665\" height=\"459\" src=\"https:\/\/crowdo.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/image1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-775\" srcset=\"https:\/\/crowdo.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/image1.png 1665w, https:\/\/crowdo.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/image1-1536x423.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1665px) 100vw, 1665px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n    <div class=\"citation-box\"> \r\n        <div class=\"citation-line\"> <\/div>\r\n        <div class=\"citation-text\"> <p>This is the report of Crowdo links, and as you can tell, the website metrics and traffic look solid.<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"5d05b5ce7112\">Results<\/h3>\n\n\n    <div class=\"callout-box\">\n        <div> <p>The plan worked to perfection.
