Client Overview
Company: CloudSync (name changed for privacy)
Industry: B2B SaaS — project management and team collaboration software
Challenge: CloudSync had strong product-market fit and solid on-page SEO but a near-zero backlink profile (DR 8, 12 referring domains). They were invisible in organic search despite competing in a high-value keyword space. Their marketing team lacked the time and publisher relationships to run outreach at scale.
Goal: Build a fully managed GBOB operation — 25–35 placements per month — to reach DR 40+ within 6 months and break into page 1 for core SaaS target keywords.
What We Delivered
Publisher Recruitment
We identified, vetted, and onboarded 18 active publisher relationships in SaaS, technology, and B2B niches — all manually reviewed for DR, traffic, and editorial quality.
Content Production
Our team wrote all 180 guest post articles — editorial-grade, E-E-A-T compliant content averaging 900 words per piece, approved by CloudSync before submission.
Outreach Management
All publisher pitches, follow-ups, and editorial negotiations handled by our outreach team. Zero automated tools — every email sent by a human.
Anchor Text Strategy
Full anchor text audit and distribution planning. Exact match anchors kept below 4% of total placements. Branded and partial match made up 65% of the profile.
Live Reporting
CloudSync received a live Google Sheets report updated within 24 hours of every placement — showing publisher domain, DR, DA, anchor text, and live URL.
