3. A Case Study in B2B SEO // The Solution
After a deep-dive audit of Bixel’s website and digital marketing channels,
we honed-in on building organic traffic for bottom-line growth. We broke
the execution into 3 phases -
Phase I - Discovery & Planning
Like every engagement, we began with a deep-dive audit based on the
businesses specific needs for SEO. This takes the form of a 7-page report
that pulls important SEO data from Google Search Console, Google
Analytics, SEM Rush, Ahrefs and Whitespark to help us form an initial way
ahead for the campaign.
Then, we build out a project plan for the initial 3 months of the
engagement, so that we can live by a calendar for tasks and deliverables
over the duration of the campaign.

After a deep-dive audit of Bixel’s website and digital marketing channels,
we honed-in on building organic traffic for bottom-line growth. We broke
the execution into 3 phases -
Phase II - Improving Existing Assets
During this phase we conducted traditional “on-page” SEO for existing
pages on the site. First, we conducted keyword research and a “keyword
gap analysis” to identify high-return keyword opportunities that we could
realistically beat key competitors for.
We built out a “target pages” file - or a list of pages and keywords to
target throughout the life of the campaign. We also benchmarked the
current keyword rankings so we could track progress over the life of the
campaign. Each page included prioritization and site section which we
used to organize the execution of improvements to each page.
This file then served as a guide for which pages to target and links we
should prospect and outreach during the next phase of the campaign.

Phase III - Promoting Assets
Link Prospecting - Our in house team analyzed the business and
competitors to understand the types of sites we needed placements on,
then within only weeks built a prospecting list of hundreds of link targets
to contact over the life of the campaign.
Link Outreach - Using a number of link outreach tactics, we sent pitches
to relevant sites for inclusion of a link back to BixelCo.com. Since this was
a B2B client, we focused heavily on guest posting within niche-relevant
sites to build Bixel’s authority in the space, drive awareness with client
prospects, improve rankings and ultimately drive qualified organic traffic
and leads. We meticulously managed a number of emails accounts to
make sure pitches were well received.

organic traffic for bottom-line growth. We broke the
execution into 3 phases -
Phase III - Promoting Assets
Content Creation - Using our topical research
model, we created content on topics that the target
audience had already shown interest in.
Since this site did not have a strong history of links,
we began with a “pillowing” tactic to build a more
natural link profile. This included creating a PDF (A)
to submit to various infographic sites.
Next, we set forth landing contextual links within
guest articles on industry-relevant sites (B).

11. Moving the Campaign Forward...
As SEO’s, our work is far from over. This was just the beginning! Next Steps include:
Creating New Assets
The keyword gap analysis and content audit provided us with building blocks for new content opportunities - site sections
for each service to tackle the bottom of the funnel, as well as a new blog section to tackle the top of the funnel. We’re in
the process of a full site rebuild to integrate this new content, in order to rank for more high value searches.
Ongoing Content Management
We will build a list of topics, keywords, competition and detailed notes on the exact articles to build, then build out a
content calendar and assign writers to manage content publishing each month.
Lead Conversion Strategy
Paid ads on LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram are an important piece of our way-ahead strategy for Bixel. The key focus
will be promoting valuable “lead magnets” intended to build attention, awareness and recognition with a laser-focused
group of target prospects before hitting them with a CTA. The media strategy will include video sequencing (i.e. serving
video ads in order - a piece of content, a testimonial, a case study, a CTA).
