SEO goals:

Challenges:

The niche was dominated by companies with years of established market authority
YMYL (Your Money or Your Life) sector, requiring special attention to E-E-A-T factors
Limited SEO budget compared to competitors
Restrictions on implementing certain SEO recommendations
Slow implementation of suggested changes

Problems we were faced with:

When the client approached us, their site had only recently launched. Consequently, the Domain Rating (DR) was low, with only a handful of backlinks. The site pages had a very minimalist design, lacking internal linking blocks and other crucial elements. Unfortunately, we were unable to implement all necessary blocks due to the client's reluctance. Analysis pages contained unoptimized content. Due to the niche's specifics, there were limitations on changes we could make to these pages. Initially, we weren't permitted to modify the text on analysis pages. It was only later that we gradually began to optimize them, which led to a boost in rankings. E-E-A-T factors were significantly weak, with essential pages missing from the site structure. While competitors were widely recognized brands, we needed to work on improving our client's brand recognition. Resources ranking higher than our client's site were acquiring more than 20-30 backlinks per month. Our client's budget was only a third of what was needed to match this.
