Insurance Statistics
Choice Mutual tasked Portent with increasing organic traffic to their site. The client was specifically interested in link-building campaigns that would add to and improve their backlink profile. They were especially interested in raising their domain authority in a highly-competitive space.
We conducted thorough research to identify the best opportunities for the client to beat competitors and create content that will attract organic links and mentions from trustworthy websites. Most of their competitors weren’t actively engaging in link-building campaigns, so Choice Mutual had a first-mover advantage to establish their brand as a trusted source for the media and search engines. Building Choice Mutual’s backlink profile with relevant links would also improve their overall E-E-A-T.
Portent’s organic teams collaborated to generate high-value content ideas. Once the client approved the topics and cadence for the content creation, we collected the data, developed the article copy, and created and launched the campaign. Portent conducted outreach to relevant media outlets, fielding media requests and communicating on behalf of the client.
Portent held internal retrospectives for each campaign to assess performance and determine what could be improved. We repeated this outreach, analysis, and iteration process for each of the 15 content promotion campaigns throughout the 3-year engagement.
