The Strategy

The strategy for Assertive was to fully revamp the SCI-MX website, making it faster, easier to use, more intuitive & better for an end to end customer experience. The website was re-designed, making it perform much better organically.

We reverse engineered a number of supplement websites to assess the most effective route forward to compete in a highly competitive space. This includes significantly more weighted product pages, better product filtering at category level, high quality content, internal linking, taking full advantage of SCHEMA / rich snippet data & more.

The strategy then became content and link based – building out a plethora of pillar and research pages around protein supplements, diets, healthy eating, training regimes and more.

We were able to substantially increase long-tail traffic and query coverage for SCI-MX which increased rankings and ultimately product sales through the website.

How Search Intent Impacts SaaS ConversionsSEO

How Search Intent Impacts SaaS Conversions

Search intent, or user intent, is simply the reason behind a search. Let’s say we have two people on a B2B SaaS website. One arrived by typing “what is CRM” into Google, and the other typed “Salesforce alternatives". Both count as organic traffic, but they come with totally different intents, and one of them is much more qualified and far more likely to make a transaction, or in other words, convert.
