New websites take time to be discovered in search results. Once the website is live, search algorithms need to crawl the content and index it accordingly. Website owners need to ensure each page is optimized with the right keywords and be proactive about building links—all of which can take months before seeing any positive results.
Our client who runs a hair care online store, was starting from zero after having to close their existing domain and create a new one.
To recover their rankings and start growing their new domain, we focused on raising domain authority and targeting multiple keywords in their niche.
The Strategy
Our client was starting over, which meant they had no organic keywords, no backlinks, and no domain authority. Search engines tend to avoid ranking brand new websites in a top position until they start building their digital track record, so our client wasn’t receiving much or any organic traffic.
That’s why we made growing domain authority our top priority. To do this, we initiated our ABC Plus PRO service, which gave our client a fully custom strategy. The Plus PRO includes up to 12 backlinks per month on relevant niche websites with a domain rating of 20-65. We handpick and vet each website for traffic and content quality, ensuring those benefits pass to the client.
We also include an anchor text analysis to add context to the client’s target pages and link velocity analysis to help us achieve the most benefits in the shortest time. We focused on collection and product pages, since these will appeal to customers who are most likely ready to buy.
The Results
In just two months, our client’s DA rating transformed from 0 to 16, a testament of quality link building. Traffic volumes rose to 149 visitors per month, with 864 keywords discovered.
Now in our fourth month of collaboration, we’re seeing a bigger impact across all metrics. The client receives 475 monthly organic visitors, with traffic continuing to increase each month. Traffic is congruent with the number of referring domains, which demonstrates the effectiveness of contextual links on relevant niche websites. Every link is an opportunity for referral traffic.
Last but not least, the client’s organic keywords have more than doubled in two months, with 2.2K keywords discovered. Of those, 14 keywords have earned a Top 3 position in search results.
Last Word
New websites need to make a strong impression fast, which is why professional link-building gives you the most impact for your money. Our client started with nothing and in just four months is outranking seasoned competitors who have been building their online presence for years.
