CASE STUDY
Increase of 115% in top 3 positions in 1 year for Mattador

Challenge
At Mattador, the main focus was on performance marketing. The goal was to focus more on SEO, creating a better balance between organic and ads. Through keyword research we saw that competition for organic traffic was high. So there was work to be done to surpass the competition and achieve organic growth.

Approach
The 3 pillars of SEO
To grow organically, Mattador employed all three pillars of SEO.
Technique
First, we made sure to minimize error messages and set up the website properly. For example, we completed the robots.txt, we do a check every month on the indexed pages and make sure images load properly. We also monitor the Core Web Vitals to make sure that the performance of the website is optimal.
Authority
Every month we do qualitative link building with which we manage to obtain good external backlinks in order to grow our authority. We also focus on internal link building and make sure that all visitors can easily find relevant pages.
Content
The content on the website is optimized to better match the visitor's search intent, as well as include the right search terms in the titles and running text. In addition, we write blogs to provide more information about the product and update existing texts on an ongoing basis.
Results
In almost a year we have doubled the number of top 3 and top 10 positions. Because the content has become more qualitative - including on the category pages - we see that the positions of these pages have increased significantly. This resulted in more clicks to the website.
115% increase in top 3 positions
By investing in search term research over the past year and applying it to the right content, we were able to achieve a 115% increase in top 3 positions.
22% increase in number of impressions
Due to a large increase in the number of positions, we managed to get more impressions in Google.
An increase from 17 to 22 in domain authority
By focusing on qualitative link building, we grew domain authority from 17 to 22 in about a year.
