FINANCE SEO CASE STUDY

Scalable Link Building For a Financial Institution

This client provides accessible funding to businesses across the United States. We’re talking big fish, alright? But, here’s the rub.

While they are considered a major powerhouse when it comes to providing capital access and business loans, their website’s backlink profile didn’t really reflect that. There were far too many toxic backlinks and only a limited number of links from high DA websites.

It was pretty clear that not only did our client need their backlink profile cleaned up, they also required a scalable link building program to increase their authority. After all, out in the real world, everyone who’s anyone in the finance industry knew and loved our client. It was time for Google to love ’em too.

The Game Plan

Here’s what got the ball rolling:

  • First up, we focused our attention where all the magic happens: the client’s backlink profile.
  • We then started our work in removing all the toxic links and get out of bad link neighborhoods. Who wants that anyways?
  • We reached out to relevant and respectable publications in the client’s niche and helped them organically earn high-quality backlinks. Boom!
  • Our efforts didn’t end with just one or two backlinks. We scaled the link building program to create hundreds of backlinks for our client over the course of a few months. All-natural, totally organic, 100% awesome backlinks!
