Some Context.
Weavr are a b2b Fintech startup offering an open banking API which allows businesses embed finance into their business and offer financial products such as company credit cards. Some stats before they started working with Artios:
Average Google rank: 91
Keywords on Google Page 1: 0.3%
#1 rankings: 0
Challenge.
Weavr had a number of gaps to the competitors mainly around content discoverability and content not optimised for online search by their target audiences.
Most of their non brand search traffic was for their job descriptions, rather than the API services they provide such as embedded payments.
To top things off, their site was loading slow and Google wasn’t displaying the desired meta description despite having updated it on the backend several times.
What We Did.
- Conducted a data driven competitor SEO landscape audit to identify the gaps in the different areas of SEO to avoid wasting months fixing things that would have no meaningful traffic impact.
- Technical site auditing with assisted implementation to make the site load faster and cut the CMS errors which improved the position potential of the target landing page content. Technical fixes were prioritised by search volumes to ensure the benefits outweighed the implementation costs.
- Using set mathematics we found the content Google considered essential content for a brand operating in the Banking-As-A-Service search space, and used data science to determine how each piece should be created and optimised. This help briefed the writers on creating and publishing the content.
Impact.
56% more non brand Organic Users per month above benchmark.
2X more non brand organic traffic per month in 3 months.
Benchmark is the non brand organic traffic Weavr would have accrued had no further SEO activity taken place.
By the end of 5 months, Weavr were in the SERP1 on Google for ‘Embedded Payments” – worldwide.
In the Clients words.
