The web development niche is one of the most competitive in digital. Everyone wants to rank first for queries like “website development” and “website creation.” At the start, the company’s website had a weak SEO structure and almost no relevant content targeting search queries. Over 10 months, traffic tripled and leads increased 2.6×.
About the Project
The Client’s Starting Point
- Highly competitive niche — competing alongside large studios and agencies
- The website had a weak SEO structure: service pages were poorly optimized for search
- Very little relevant content — pages did not address potential customers’ search intent
- Only 10 leads per month from organic search
- Traffic was 1,000 visits per month — the website’s potential was underutilized
What the Client Wanted
Increase the number of qualified inquiries (leads) from organic search. The client understood how competitive the niche was and was ready for systematic, long-term work — not quick tricks, but building a sustainable SEO foundation.
