Our client, a leading provider of Conversation Analytics and Call Tracking software, faced a significant challenge in an increasingly competitive digital landscape. While they offered cutting-edge solutions, their online visibility was falling behind key competitors. At the time of engagement, the client was receiving just 18,000 monthly visitors from organic search—significantly lower than their primary competitor, who was generating 58,000 monthly visitors.
Despite a strong product offering, their digital presence was not reflecting their industry leadership
At the start of our engagement, our client, a leading provider of Conversation Analytics and Call Tracking software, faced significant challenges in competing against a much larger and more established competitor in their industry.
The core issues that needed to be addressed were as follows:
Our client was receiving approximately 18,000 monthly visitors from organic search, a relatively modest figure for their industry. However, their primary competitor was attracting 58,000 monthly visitors, more than three times the traffic our client was generating. This disparity was a clear indication that the competitor was performing far better in terms of organic search visibility and traffic generation.
Despite targeting a similar range of keywords as their competitor, our client was not capturing the same level of organic search traffic.
While the number of keywords each company ranked for was nearly identical, the actual organic traffic they attracted from these keywords was vastly different. This indicated that although the client had a comparable number of keywords, the competitor had optimized their pages and content more effectively to rank higher for valuable keywords, leading to more traffic.
With a traffic gap that large, the client’s engagement and conversion rates were also suffering.. Our client’s website was not ranking as effectively for high-value keywords, and their overall content strategy was not capturing the full attention of their target audience.
This presented two main issues:
Our client’s website had significant potential but was not fully optimized for SEO or user experience. Key technical SEO factors like page load speed, mobile responsiveness, and internal linking were underperforming. Additionally, the user interface (UI) design was outdated, affecting usability and engagement. As a result, the website was not offering an optimal experience for visitors, making it harder to convert traffic into qualified leads.
We implemented a multi-faceted SEO strategy aimed at optimizing the client’s site across key areas that had been identified as essential for traffic growth and user engagement.
We revamped the client’s homepage by focusing on both technical SEO and content optimization.
Implemented targeted keywords relevant to Conversation Analytics and Call Tracking, improving SEO performance
Simplified the site structure for better navigation, ensuring users could quickly find relevant information.
We updated content to ensure it was informative, industry-specific, and aligned with search engine intent, providing value to both users and search engines.
This optimization turned the homepage into a significant traffic driver, contributing to higher engagement rates and better rankings in search engine results.
We found that the competitor was using its blog as a major source of organic traffic. They were capturing long-tail keywords and leveraging trending topics in Conversation Analytics, which helped them rank for high-volume, relevant keywords.

In response, we developed a robust blog strategy aimed at surpassing the competitor’s efforts.
Focused on trending industry topics and related keywords while analyzing the competitor’s blog content for themes and keyword opportunities

Ensured that each blog post went beyond surface-level information, offering more in-depth insights, case studies, and actionable tips to add value for readers
Actively tracked keyword performance and trends in the sector, adjusting the content strategy as needed to maintain a competitive edge
This blog strategy not only helped improve organic traffic but also positioned the client as a thought leader, further boosting their visibility and authority in the market.
Upon analysis, we identified a critical gap: the competitor had well-developed and SEO-optimized solution pages for each of their key features, driving substantial traffic to these dedicated pages.
The lack of comprehensive solution pages on the client’s site was an opportunity we aimed to capitalize on.
We built and optimized solution pages for each of the client’s offerings, ensuring each page was:
Dedicated to explaining each product feature in detail, including use cases, benefits, and how the feature solved specific customer pain points.
Implemented targeted keywords, internal linking, and high-quality content to enhance search rankings.
Incorporated strong calls-to-action (CTAs) to drive lead generation and conversions.
These solution pages attracted significant traffic, outpacing the competitor’s similar pages in both organic search rankings and user engagement.
We recognized that the client needed to target specific industries to enhance their visibility and attract highly relevant leads.
Developed 8-10 industry-specific pages, each targeting a unique sector that benefited from Conversation Analytics and Call Tracking software. These pages helped the client capture targeted organic traffic from a variety of industries, enhancing their presence in niche markets and ultimately generating higher-quality leads.

The client saw a 14.4% growth in the number of keywords ranked, rising from 23,683 to 27,093. This improvement allowed them to capture more organic traffic and expand their visibility across a wider set of keywords.
Through strategic homepage optimization, the client’s website now features a more user-friendly interface and SEO-enhanced content, resulting in higher user engagement and better search rankings. This contributed significantly to the overall traffic increase.
