From Google rank 82. to rank 6-9: our half-year SEO sprint”

We started working with a client back in December 2024. Their website, for their target keyword (“generáltervezés” in Hungarian) was sitting at position 82 on Google. Practically invisible.

Their niche was tight, competition moderate, and budgets modest. We had a clear goal: get them onto page 1 (ideally top 10) organically.

Here’s the strategy we rolled out: 1. Landing page rebuild: A dedicated URL with the keyword in the slug, SEO-friendly H1/H2 tags, optimized meta, internal links. 

2. Content engine: We produced 24+ blog posts targeting adjacent keywords and building topical authority for the main term.  3. Link profile uplift: Over six months we placed 40+ high-quality external backlinks (not link farms, but relevant, high-DA sites) pointing to the site. 

The result? By May-June 2025 the client was ranking between #6 and #9 for the main term.
 Impressions for that keyword alone jumped from 20 (previous 6 months) to 521 (last 6 months) — roughly a 2,500% increase. 

Key takeaway: A seemingly “low-traffic” niche still allowed for dramatic visibility gains if the strategy is strict, consistent and focused.

Got other case studies like this? I’d love to hear them. Also happy to discuss how you handle the “top of funnel” when traffic is shallow but conversion value high.

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns. I was going to do the same with some input from the client about what cities or towns he would like to show up in? submitted by /u/Letmeinterviewyou [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2JHy0k0

Clients site has a weird issue with 302 redirects that I haven't seen before.

Site is in Drupal, hosted on Amazon CDN & Cloudflare. So here's a quick breakdown: The site itself works normally. It's a bit dated, but you can click on links and navigate around as you'd expect. Seeing no obvious issues, I run a Screaming Frog crawl to begin my audit. Only 5 pages were picked up by the crawl which was super weird, since all internal links are regular html and there shouldn't be any issues. So I go through the site and manually collect a bunch of URLs, which I submit to SF again as a list. Every single link bar the 5 originally crawled return a 302, with the 'redirect' pointing back to the home page. Except as I said, those pages don't browser redirect. Browser side, they work fine. I guess they redirect the crawl bot though, since the rest of the site is functionally invisible. Other tools I've looked at say that the pages return simultaneous 302 and 200s, which doesn't make too much sense. These 302s are also old enough ...
