Content Hubs Drive 3.3 Million Organic Visits

This reference client had existing content that ranked in positions 10-30 in search results and wanted to improve these rankings. In doing so, they also wanted to increase organic traffic to the existing content and be more well-known in the area they specialized in.

To build topical authority and increase organic traffic, Portent worked with the client on updating underperforming content and minimizing existing content gaps to showcase their breadth of expertise. Using keyword research, SERP analysis, and competitor content analysis, Portent developed a content hub strategy that accounted for all of the topics the client needed to update and create. We then used the content hub strategy to determine how to interlink between the content so that users and search engines can find related content with ease. 

In total, Portent helped produce 135 articles. 27% focused on existing content while the other 73% focused on new content. 

When prioritizing our content brief development efforts, we focused on existing content first because our research shows that content updates help increase keyword growth. We also paid close attention to search volume and keyword difficulty metrics, focusing on the topics with the highest ROI.
