Client background

A specific business.
A specific challenge.

A lending startup relied on its website for customer acquisition, but most search traffic came from people who already knew the brand.

In a competitive lending market, the goal was to expand relevant non-brand discovery without relying solely on paid advertising.

A practical plan.
Focused delivery.

Technical access, useful content and distribution each had a role.

Foundation

Find demand beyond the brand

Keyword analysis identified new opportunities and guided three to four new pages or articles each month.

Execution

Keep the content useful

Quarterly semantic reviews refined content relevance, organisation and coverage.

Distribution

Maintain the technical foundation

Regular checks covered loading speed, mobile usability and broken links, alongside relevant backlink work.

What changed

Into new searches.

The website expanded from brand-led discovery to a broader non-brand audience. The client reported a stable 2% conversion rate and Domain Rating moving from 14 to 40. No revenue amount or conversion-event definition was provided.
