Challenge

On-page SEO recommendations

After conducting a website audit, our SaaS SEO consultants identified opportunities to fine-tune meta titles and descriptions to ensure that users receive concise and compelling snippets on search engines, increasing the likelihood of attracting organic clicks.

By strategically using heading tags (H1, H2, H3 etc.) and internal links as part of the SEO efforts, SaaS Alerts improved the user experience, making the content more digestible and accessible to readers. This type of optimization also contributed to better indexing and ranking for relevant keywords.

Productive Shop also implemented canonical tags to help search engines understand the primary version of a page, in scenarios where similar or identical content was accessible through multiple URLs. By doing so, we streamlined the indexing process and consolidated the ranking signals for a particular page, ultimately enhancing its visibility and relevance in search engine results.

Editorial calendar tailored to SaaS cybersecurity

Leveraging our expertise in SEO for SaaS companies, we conducted comprehensive research on the cybersecurity industry, MSPs’ buyer journey and SaaS Alerts’ competition to identify the key organic keywords that potential customers were searching for. 

Then we put together a list of high-impact topics to address MSPs’ pain points and educate them about SaaS Alerts’ solution. We included comparison pages in the editorial calendar to not only defend SaaS Alerts’ primary branded keywords but also target the branded keywords of competitors.
