About the client
A growing USA-based VoIP provider serving small and mid-sized businesses. Solid product, competitive pricing — but completely invisible online. Over 80% of their new customers came through paid ads, making growth expensive and unsustainable.
About the client
Their goal: rank #1 for “VoIP” and build a consistent organic pipeline that didn’t depend on ad spend.
What we found in the initial audit
Zero keyword rankings
Not in the top 100 for "VoIP" or any related terms. No long-tail presence at all.
Weak site structure
Poor internal linking, no topical clusters, no content depth on any topic.
Low domain authority
Almost no backlinks. Zero niche-relevant links from SaaS or tech publications.
Content gaps
No optimised landing pages. Missing both informational and transactional content.
Technical SEO issues
Slow Core Web Vitals, crawl errors, and poor mobile performance across key pages.
Paid-only growth
100% dependency on paid ads for new leads — no organic pipeline, no compounding returns.=
The strategy — 6-part SEO system
