Case Study: 312% Organic Traffic Growth for SaaS website in 6 Months

🧩 About the Client

A SaaS product that uses AI to turn text into professional-looking presentation slides within seconds. Initially available as a Google Slides add-on, the tool caters to a broad audience—educators, marketers, students, and business professionals. Despite strong product-led growth and 50K+ monthly branded visitors, the site lacked non-branded organic visibility and industry authority.

⚠️ Challenges

🔵 Heavy reliance on branded traffic and word-of-mouth.
🔵 No blog or top-funnel content for search visibility.
🔵 Limited awareness of Text-to-Presentation capability.
🔵 Poor keyword coverage for competitor and long-tail searches.

🎯 Goals

🔵 Increase non-branded organic traffic through SEO.
🔵 Improve domain authority and credibility.
🔵 Capture high-intent and competitor-brand traffic.
🔵 Establish SEO as a long-term acquisition channel.
