GOALS

CHALLENGES

- Due to the nature of fact-check website structure and type of news, Misbar’s content is considered thin* (Google considers pages with very little or no content as thin content pages).
RESULTS
133% Organic Traffic Increase
PROCESS
Before March 2020, articles and news published by Misbar were far from the top 5 results on google, and their website only had between 1000 visits per month.
⇨ Our Performance team conducted a thorough SEO Technical Audit to locate the flaws and identify the areas that need improving, such as content, keyword density, and overall website health, and delivered a detailed report.
⇨ We created a new type of content: a Q&A section on their website. We identified the top questions people ask on google in the fields of Health, Language, and General Information to help direct traffic to their website.
⇨ We performed monthly updates and adoption of keywords based on the volume of searches and their relevance to the platform’s content.
