How Blue Tree’s Digital PR Campaign Helped a YC-Backed Tech Startup Increase Organic Traffic by 336%

Introduction

Share on

A YC-backed tech startup offering SaaS solutions to businesses, like many in their respective industry, had an issue with organic competitors fighting for the same spot in search engine rankings. 

As part of their growth strategy, the company wanted to target new and competitive keywords within their industry. However, more than merely identifying these keywords was required – the challenge was mainly in acquiring relevant and high-quality backlinks for each of these keywords to kickstart their search engine optimization (SEO) efforts.

Through a tailored digital PR campaign, Blue Tree Digital sought to improve their position compared to organic competitors and get a consistent and positive online narrative for the startup. 

Moreover, our team strategically curated a link-building initiative that targeted new competitive keywords, thereby fortifying our client’s online presence and ensuring sustained growth in the SaaS industry.

Our Approach

By examining our client’s unique requirements and refining the campaign throughout the process, our strategy included these carefully considered steps.

Step 1: Creating an Extensive Site List

We generated a comprehensive list of relevant websites for outreach, incorporating those with which we had existing relationships.

  • All sites had an average DR rating of 70.
  • A minimum of 20k traffic.

The compiled list comprised over 600 sites, forming the foundation of our outreach.

Step 2: Outreach Initiatives

Each site on the list received a targeted cold pitch where we proposed to create an article for their website. 

Site editors granted us the flexibility to suggest topics or contribute to ideation, allowing our pitching team to brainstorm and propose tailored ideas for each site.

Step 3: Content Creation

As our proposed topics were formally approved, our team of adept writers started working on high-quality content, submitting the pieces to the respective sites.

Careful consideration was given to ensuring seamless integration with the tech startup by:

  • Verifying the relevance of SaaS and business solutions to the chosen topic.
  • Establishing contextual cohesion in the placement.

Our proficient writers strategically targeted specific keywords, guaranteeing the articles’ effectiveness.

Step 4: Ensuring Relevance and Continuous Improvement

To optimize our client’s links within each article, we employed a straightforward yet highly efficacious strategy:

  • The outreach team proposed topics directly aligned with the subject matter before presenting them to website editors.
  • Content creators crafted narratives around the link, ensuring organic integration to prevent any appearance of unaligned insertion.
  • Anchor text utilization involved precise data points or direct quotations from the pages, seamlessly blending with the content.
  • Rigorous monitoring was conducted using a Link Tracker Sheet, and comprehensive monthly reports highlighting campaign successes.

Following this outlined strategy, we successfully pitched to over 600 websites. 

Throughout the campaign, we conducted tests on 8 different campaigns corresponding to 8 distinct cold pitches, ultimately identifying the pitches that yielded the highest reply rates from site editors.
