They came to Skale looking to externalise their off-page SEO efforts—in both English and Spanish—with a trusted SEO partner who has deep experience working in the SaaS niche. Happy Scribe didn’t want to simply increase rankings, but focus on driving organic product signups and increasing new MRR.
They understood the importance of having an ‘always-on’ link-building program was paramount to driving success in scaling their SEO customer acquisition channel.
And that’s when we stepped in to help with securing some revenue-driving links. To be precise, we’ve secured 558 of them so far!
To begin with, we worked with HappyScribe to identify the highest priority pages for driving business value.
We identified pages where the top ranking competitors had more backlinks than HappyScribe and modelled how many high-quality backlinks we would need in order to compete with them.
The Skale Off-Page team also modelled signup and new MRR potential per page to determine how we could drive the most impact with the smallest number of links and as rapidly as possible.
We then prioritised the target pages, carefully put together a diversified anchor text profile, and started securing links on a monthly basis, while monitoring and making adjustments as needed.
Here’s an example of a high-quality link secured for HappyScribe’s Audio to Text Converter Page:
Partner website stats: DR – 61, average organic domain traffic – 35k
“When it comes to link building, HappyScribe is a very interesting challenge for our team. Due to versatility, we had just enough freedom to locate some really amazing opportunities. But we made sure that all the placements were contextual and natural. Relevancy is always the key in link building so we were always getting back to the first steps, ensuring the organic placement.”
Elena Hristovska, Off-Page Team Lead @ SkaleOne of the key ingredients of our link-building strategy is creating topically relevant content to pitch to authoritative websites in the marketing niche—focussing on the core use cases and personas that completed their job using Happy Scribe.
And last but not least, we continuously collaborated with HappyScribe’s SEO team to implement on-page improvements. This included enhancing meta titles and managing internal linking. The team ensured that off-page SEO worked seamlessly with on-page SEO to maximise client’s business impact.
