GrowthBar is an SEO software tool in the most competitive space for online content: SEO.

Ranking organically for keywords in this space is hyper-competitive and often takes years.

Instead of waiting years to rank organically, we took a different approach: targeted link building to get GrowthBar listed on the best SEO tool roundups and websites, capitalizing on other websites’ existing rankings to drive 4,000+ signups in months, not years.

Here’s how.

The Solution: Targeted Link Building

With GrowthBar, we had to think outside of the box. Instead of traditional SEO where we create great content on site, we focused entirely off-site, pitching GrowthBar to the biggest websites in the space.

In doing so, we landed 100s of backlinks, press mentions, and brand features on hyper-relevant articles:

This drove both authority and traffic back to GrowthBar, resulting in thousands of new users acquired one the course of the year.

Results

• 4,000+ users / customers acquired from organic search
• Organic traffic hit 34,000 per month, increasing month over month
• First page rankings secured for 46+ keywords and counting
