Challenge

Build an organic presence from scratch for a certification service website entering a new market — no existing rankings, no backlink profile, no brand recognition to lean on.

What I did

Keyword research, on-page optimisation, technical fixes and off-page guest posting around core certification and compliance topics — built to earn trust in a market with no existing history.

OUTCOME

39K impressions, 481 clicks, average position 11.1 and a 1.2% CTR across target certification terms — a full organic pipeline in a market where the site had zero prior visibility.
