Project Overview

A CRM SaaS platform with an established product and customer base engaged Tanot Solutions to improve rankings for high-intent commercial keywords and turn organic search into a stronger sign-up channel.

After working with Tanot Solutions, our high-converting product page moved from #32 to #9 for keywords such as 'CRM' and 'CRM software.' Rankings also improved for other high-value keywords, including comparison terms that became important acquisition channels for the business. Alongside ranking improvements, we saw an 80% increase in both organic traffic and daily sign-ups.

Client

CRM SaaS Platform offering customer relationship management, marketing automation, pipeline management, and integrations

Service Delivered

Targeted link building on commercial product and comparison pages through guest posts and niche edits on B2B SaaS and CRM publications

Primary Goal

Improve rankings for high-intent CRM keywords, strengthen comparison-page visibility, and increase daily sign-ups from organic search

The Problem: A High-Intent CRM Page Stuck on Page 4

The client's core CRM product page was ranking at #32 for keywords such as "CRM" and "CRM software," limiting visibility for some of the platform's most commercially valuable searches.

In addition to the core product page, comparison and alternative keywords represented a major growth opportunity. These searches often come from buyers actively evaluating CRM options, making them some of the highest-intent queries in the SaaS funnel.

Core Page Ranking at #32

The platform had limited visibility for high-intent CRM keywords despite having a well-optimized product page.

Missing Comparison-Keyword Visibility

The client was not capturing traffic from comparison and alternative searches tied to high purchase intent.

Low Link Equity on Commercial Pages

Most existing backlinks pointed to the homepage or blog, while revenue-driving pages had minimal external authority.

Our Approach: Strategy Focused on Commercial Page Authority With Keyword Precision

The campaign focused on two objectives: improving rankings for the core CRM product page and increasing visibility for high-intent comparison keywords tied directly to sign-ups and customer acquisition.

01

Revenue-Focused Page Targeting

Links were directed toward the pages most closely tied to conversions, including the core CRM product page and comparison landing pages, rather than distributing authority across the homepage or blog content.

02

B2B SaaS and CRM Publisher Selection

Placements were secured on publishers relevant to CRM buyers, SaaS audiences, and B2B marketing professionals, including SaaS review sites, CRM comparison blogs, and sales-focused publications.

03

Keyword-Intentional Anchor Strategy

Anchor text was structured around branded, descriptive, and commercially relevant keyword variations such as "CRM software" and "CRM SaaS platform" to support ranking improvements without over-optimisation risk.

04

Guest Posts and Niche Edits

Guest posts were used to support comparison and alternative pages that required stronger contextual positioning, while niche-relevant placements in existing high-authority articles helped strengthen authority for the core product page.

How Tanot Solutions Executed the Campaign Phase by Phase

The campaign was structured in three clear execution phases, each tied to a specific ranking and revenue objective, with compounding authority driving results at every stage.

Phase 1: Foundation

Building Authority on the Core Product Page

Initial editorial links were placed on established CRM review and comparison articles to strengthen the authority of the product page. Early ranking movement was visible within 6 to 8 weeks, with the page moving from #32 toward the top 20.

Phase 2: Comparison Page Expansion

Capturing the Most Profitable Keyword Opportunities

As the core product page gained traction, the campaign expanded to comparison and alternative pages targeting high-intent searches. Guest posts on SaaS and B2B marketing publications helped improve rankings for keywords closely tied to product evaluation and sign-ups, including achieving the #1 position for "HubSpot alternatives."

Phase 3: Top 10 Ranking and Revenue Impact

Page 1 for 'CRM' and a Measurable Sign-Up Uplift

Continued authority building helped the core product page reach #9 for keywords such as "CRM" and "CRM software." Alongside ranking improvements, the platform recorded an 80% increase in both organic traffic and daily sign-ups from organic search.

Key Metrics: From Page 4 to Page 1 and 80% More Sign-Ups

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions we hear most from SaaS founders and marketing managers looking to improve rankings for high-intent commercial keywords and turn organic search into a stronger acquisition channel.

The product page already had a solid on-page foundation but lacked external authority signals. Tanot Solutions built editorially placed, topically relevant links from CRM and SaaS publications directly to the product page with keyword-intentional anchor text, sending Google a clear signal that this page belongs in the conversation for "CRM software."
Comparison and alternative searches are made by buyers who have already decided they need a CRM; they are simply deciding which one. Purchase intent for these searches is extremely high, which is why these keywords had a disproportionate impact on sign-up volume.
The quality of traffic matters just as much as volume. Traffic from page-1 rankings for keywords like "CRM software" and high-ranking comparison terms typically converts at a much higher rate than traffic from generic or informational queries.
Yes. For most SaaS products, comparison and alternative keywords are among the highest-ROI targets available. Tanot Solutions' approach combines building the right editorial links from the right publishers to help those pages rank where it counts.
Every link Tanot Solutions builds is white-hat and Google-compliant. No automated schemes, no irrelevant placements, and no shortcuts are used. Every publisher is manually vetted before any outreach begins. This campaign ran to completion with zero manual actions or algorithmic penalties.
Yes, and this is increasingly important for B2B SaaS. The same link building that moved this client's Google rankings also built the foundation for AI recommendation visibility across tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity.
