Our client is a well-established leader in the IT management software space that provides tools to help businesses manage their networks, systems, and IT infrastructure.

They had a strong foundation thanks to a partnership with Microsoft, but needed to stand out in a competitive market dominated by tech giants like Atlassian and Cisco.

Hereโ€™s how we helped our client secure +75,500 additional visitors, increase their traffic value by $217,478, and build on their impressive foundation with strategic link-building.

๐Ÿ’ก Our Strategy

Our client already had a robust backlink profile and strong EEAT (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness) thanks to their partnership with Microsoft.

We saw an opportunity to leverage this existing authority by building valuable links from authoritative websites in the IT sector and pushing them ahead of their competitors.

โ›ฐ๏ธ The challenges

Even with strong EEAT and a high domain rating, our client had to compete with other IT heavyweights that also boasted impressive DRs:

โœ… Our clientโ€™s glossary of technical IT terms is a great fit for content writers and bloggers. We secured backlinks to relevant articles, which boosted our clientโ€™s topical authority and reinforced their position as a trusted resource.

โœ…Our client also offers a page with free tools, which is an attractive resource for sites that want to recommend useful IT management software:
