Client Overview
The client develops enterprise-grade, cloud-first Pay & Bill solutions. Their comprehensive platform automates complex payroll cycles, multi-tier timesheets, compliance management, and financial ledger operations tailored specifically for recruitment agencies and payroll umbrella organisations.
The Challenge
1
Zero Search Visibility
Zero rankings across high-intent commercial search queries left the platform completely invisible to active enterprise buyers.
2
Technical Roadblocks
Persistent redirect chains, crawl anomalies, and slow page speeds stopped search engines from indexing core solution pages.
3
The Conversion Blind Spot
Missing conversion tracking obscured the user journey, concealing where high-value prospects were dropping off.
4
Outbound Pipeline Strain
No organic inbound interest forced the sales team to rely entirely on costly, manual outbound prospecting.
The Strategy
Designing an Inbound Revenue Engine
We deployed a multi-phase SEO and conversion architecture to eliminate technical friction, capture topical verticals, and convert enterprise search traffic into qualified pipeline.
Technical Fixes & Accurate Attribution
We removed the core technical barriers preventing search engines from crawling the site effectively. Our team resolved site-wide crawl errors, eliminated legacy redirect loops, consolidated duplicate header tags, and improved page load speeds. Alongside these fixes, we set up a comprehensive tracking framework to monitor every visitor action, directly attributing qualified sales enquiries to specific organic landing pages.
Targeted Commercial Content Hubs
To establish genuine topical authority, we structured focused content hubs built around the specific operational pain points recruitment leaders face. We designed and launched dedicated commercial landing pages for three core service areas:
- Recruitment Agency Software
- Contractor Timesheet Solutions
- Contractor Invoicing & Billing Platforms
By connecting these core commercial pages with practical, high-value advice guides, we proved clear relevance to search engines and propelled target pages to the top of search results.
Domain Authority & Targeted Digital PR
To close the authority gap with established legacy competitors, we delivered a targeted digital PR and link-acquisition campaign. We secured prominent, contextually relevant editorial features across reputable HR, recruitment, and enterprise technology publications. This steady gain in sector-specific authority reinforced the platform’s credibility with search engines.
Conversion Rate Optimisation (CRO)
To turn increased organic visits into qualified sales opportunities, we conducted a thorough mobile usability and user journey audit. We tackled key friction points where potential clients were dropping off: buried contact forms, clunky mobile navigation, and poorly placed calls to action. We introduced persistent navigation, prominent mobile enquiry buttons, and streamlined enquiry forms positioned clearly above the fold.
