Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

We worked with Skale on a link-building campaign to improve brand awareness, conversions, and general SEO. Every month, they built 10 unique links for us through guest posting and link placements with an 80/20 split, on websites with > 30 DR and over 1000 monthly visits. In addition to that, we had monthly catch-ups, weekly insights and action items, 5 NLP reports, and a data studio dashboard to monitor the progress.  

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Over the course of this partnership, Skale built ~ 160 links for us on pages bringing in roughly ~ 40,000 monthly traffic. Together, we chose what we thought would be the most impactful links for brand awareness and conversions to build links toward. This campaign helped us improve the performance metrics of these pages, further improving the conversion rates as well.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Skale could have done differently?

No. The only thing I'd mention is that it'd be great if you provide services for more European languages as well.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

Right after joining Altovita as Director of Marketing, I quickly noticed the need to diversify and strengthen their lead generation strategy. The company had traditionally relied heavily on events, but these were not yielding consistent results in every market. Recognizing the untapped potential in organic search, I decided to start working with SKALE to implement a comprehensive SEO strategy to improve visibility and attract high-intent leads.

Initiative: SKALE led the development and execution of an SEO strategy centered on creating high-quality, targeted content around key search terms related to corporate housing and business travel. This involved scaling up the production of dynamic city pages, optimizing existing content, and integrating new conversion points like the AltoSearch search bar(PLG) across the website.

Content Strategy and Creation:
SKALE identified key search terms highly relevant to AltoVita’s target audience, focusing on corporate housing, business travel, and extended stays. This involved extensive keyword research to understand user intent and search behavior. Based on these insights, SKALE scaled up the production of dynamic city pages optimized for local search queries. These pages provided valuable, city-specific content while positioning AltoVita as an authoritative resource in corporate housing across the top 100 most-searched cities worldwide. SKALE also optimized existing website content and copy to align with the latest SEO best practices, refining on-page SEO elements like meta descriptions, header tags, and keyword density.

New Website & Conversion Optimization:
We also collaborated with SKALE on a new website project to improve AltoVita's branding, messaging, positioning, and user experience, aligning the site structure more effectively with the customer journey. The ultimate goal was to convert more website traffic into qualified leads for the sales team. To enhance lead capture from organic traffic, SKALE introduced additional conversion points across the website, including the AltoSearch search bar(PLG), allowing users to directly explore corporate housing options. A/B testing on various calls-to-action (CTAs) and form placements helped to optimize lead capture, ensuring that increased traffic translated into business opportunities.

Link Building and Off-Page SEO:
To further boost domain authority, SKALE executed a focused link-building campaign for AltoVita, targeting high-quality backlinks from industry-related websites, blogs, and directories. This effort improved rankings and increased referral traffic to the website, strengthening AltoVita’s online presence and authority.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Results: The SEO initiative led by SKALE proved transformative for AltoVita’s lead generation strategy, yielding exceptional results in a short timeframe:

• Revenue Impact: Within the first quarter of 2024 alone, SKALE’s SEO strategy generated $105,000 in new revenue by converting opportunities acquired through organic search, reflecting a 100% conversion rate from SEO-acquired leads.
• ROI: SKALE delivered a remarkable ROI of 1,029%, far surpassing initial projections and significantly outperforming other marketing channels like paid advertising and email marketing, which had shown diminishing returns in some markets.
• Traffic and Lead Quality: Organic traffic to AltoVita’s website saw a substantial increase, with leads exhibiting stronger intent to purchase, as reflected in higher conversion rates and lower bounce rates on key landing pages.
• Cost Efficiency: SKALE’s SEO strategy resulted in a notable reduction in customer acquisition costs (CAC). The organic nature of SEO provided a scalable, cost-effective solution for attracting high-intent customers over time.
• Sustainable Growth: Beyond the immediate financial impact, SKALE’s SEO strategy laid the foundation for sustainable growth. By building a robust content infrastructure and improving technical SEO, SKALE ensured that AltoVita’s online presence would continue to attract and convert leads well into the future, even with minimal ongoing investment.
• Market Positioning: The success of SKALE’s SEO strategy reinforced AltoVita’s market position as a leader in corporate housing solutions within the UK and US markets. AltoVita’s enhanced visibility not only increased brand awareness but also positioned the company as a trusted authority, further differentiating it from competitors.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

SKALE’s project management was impressive and felt truly tailored to our business needs. From day one, they showed a deep understanding of our goals and set up a clear timeline with milestones focused on what mattered most to us – qualified leads and revenue growth, not just traffic or rankings.

Their team managed every phase smoothly and delivered each item right on schedule. We had regular check-ins where they kept us updated, addressed any adjustments needed, and were always open to feedback. What stood out was their flexibility; if we had new requests or changing priorities, SKALE was quick to adapt without missing a beat. They made us feel like partners, taking the time to explain their process and adjusting it as needed to align with our goals.

Overall, they were incredibly responsive, proactive, and transparent, making sure we always felt supported and in control of the project’s progress.

What was your primary form of communication with Skale?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

What truly set SKALE apart was their unwavering commitment to our business's success. Unlike other agencies that focus solely on boosting website traffic or improving search rankings, SKALE prioritized metrics that directly impacted our bottom line, such as sales-qualified leads and monthly recurring revenue.

Their team's extensive in-house SaaS experience was evident in their strategic approach. They didn't just apply generic SEO tactics; instead, they crafted a tailored strategy that aligned perfectly with our specific goals and industry nuances.

Additionally, their transparency and proactive communication fostered a true partnership. They provided in-depth monthly reports that not only detailed the backlinks achieved but also analyzed the impact on rankings, traffic, and leads, ensuring we were always informed and confident in the progress being made.

In essence, SKALE's unique blend of business-focused metrics, SaaS expertise, and transparent communication made them an invaluable partner in our growth journey.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Skale could have done differently?

One thing that really stood out about SKALE was their proactive approach and the way they tailored strategies specifically for our business goals. Their team’s responsiveness and commitment to results were fantastic, making it easy to feel supported throughout the project.

If there’s one area they could improve, it might be in providing a bit more upfront clarity on the long-term timeline of certain SEO initiatives. While we saw impactful results early on, having a more detailed forecast for long-term milestones could help set even clearer expectations and allow us to anticipate future outcomes even better.

That said, SKALE’s dedication to achieving meaningful, revenue-focused results and their willingness to adapt along the way more than made up for it. Their transparency and client-first approach were exceptional; working with them was a truly collaborative experience.

We've asked Skale to help us with link building outreach, particularly in the US market. We identified our most important pages in terms of sign ups for our product and Skale has helped us providing multiple contextually relevant links on a monthly basis that helped improve rankings across the board.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

We've seen increases in rankings and sign ups for our core pages, which are together with content improvements, tech SEO improvements and our in-house link building, largely due to Skale's link building efforts. A good example is the number 1 ranking for 'audio to text' in the US, which is still one of our most important keywords in terms of traffic, sign ups and revenue.

Project Management was good - deliveries on time, good reporting and communication through Slack and virtual meetings.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

Skale shows that they're not only providing link building services but are an agency that fully understands SEO for SaaS-companies. This means that Skale provides suggestions for content improvements, based on research, and activitely asks for reporting on key metrics. This way, the impact and ROI is more measurable than just reporting on rankings and clicks.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Skale could have done differently?

I'd say that the links that are provided are medium tier: contextually relevant, topically relevant and the domains are powerful enough to make an impact. It would be good to see super high value links coming in in the future, even though we're aware this might digital PR efforts.
