San Francisco-based IT company

Vertical: Full-service software development company
Their clients: E-commerce, e-learning companies, digital asset management systems
Client’s business goals
- To understand what the niche benchmark for the number of keywords and backlinks is, and where the company stands among the competition.
- To learn what digital marketing activities the competitors perform and how they drive results.
- To discover the most effective way of targeting a very specific type of leads – e-commerce applications running on Shopify and Shopify Plus in need of complex 3rd party software or ERP integrations.
Client’s challenges
- Lack of in-house resources and expertise to conduct in-depth digital marketing research
- Need for the strategy to be created based on strong marketing analysis
- Limited understanding of how to target very specific types of companies
Solutions applied
We searched and identified established players in the Shopify Plus development niche by using such parameters as company type, domain rating, total number of referring domains, traffic, organic keywords, new referring domains, new organic keywords, paid ads keywords, and keywords in the top 100.
We ran in-depth research on the competitors’ inbound tactics featuring:
-
- Backlinks they currently have, and
- Keywords they currently rank for.
We wrapped all data into powerful interactive MS PowerBI reports for visualization.
Based on activities identified as the most effective for lead generation for the competition, we put together a promotion plan and suggested an effective inbound strategy to get Shopify Plus contracts. The overall approach is divided into the following activities:
-
- PPC campaigns.
- On-page content and technical optimization.
- Content marketing.
- Off-page promotion of the website on third-party sites.
Results
As a result of the activities performed, we developed a clear view of who the company’s best-performing competitors are and what exactly they do to be on top of the niche. In addition to that, we created interactive PowerBI data visualization dashboards that allow gaining actionable insights from aggregated backlinks’ and keywords data of the competitors. This made it clear what promotion methods and targeting techniques the client should use to be able to acquire the specific types of leads they need.
