BREIF

Misbar, launched in 2019, is an Arab fact-checking platform that combats the spread of online misinformation and news. 

GOALS

  1. Build growing organic traffic for the website. 
  2. Create a long-term and sustainable search engine strategy. 

CHALLENGES

  1. Their content is time sensitive because it relates to daily and weekly news.
  2. 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.

 

“Dear Jeel Media,
