## Portfolio & Awards


### A 659% Increase in Non-Branded Organic Traffic
https://tuffgrowth.com/branded-traffic-vs-non-branded-traffic/
Here’s the story of how we increased a partner's non-branded organic traffic by 659% in just 6 months, after months of lackluster SEO performance.
 


### How We Decreased CAC by 59% YoY
https://tuffgrowth.com/how-we-decreased-pathstreams-cac-by-59-yoy/
When a Series A startup that offers online certification programs that help people level up their careers approached Tuff, they were spending nearly $1m each quarter in ad spend to hit their lead volume goals, but with a ROAS right around 1.10. They were hitting their application targets, but they were breaking even doing it. 
We needed to get creative when it came to optimizing Facebook and paid search campaigns on Google to hit those CAC targets Here's how we drove down their Facebook CPL by 63% year over year.


### How we Decreased CPA by 66%
https://tuffgrowth.com/dynamic-creative-ads/
 
When Joyn reached out to us in late 2020, they had a well-established brand, product market fit, and a growing (and super excited) audience. But what they were looking to accomplish was replicating their positive growth across multiple channels and supercharging it with a growth marketing agency like Tuff. 


### How to Increase Your Organic Traffic by 117% in 90
https://tuffgrowth.com/how-to-increase-your-organic-traffic-by-117-in-90-days-the-inside-story-of-salams-seo-strategy/
In October of 2021, Salams reached out to Tuff, asking our team to run a quick SEO audit and see what the organic growth potential was like for their market. Salams is an online dating app for Muslims that dominates the US market and is growing in the UK and other countries. Their growth, to date, has primarily relied on mobile install campaigns, meaning their website had very little content and their SEO strategy had never been a focal point for growth. 
 
After working on an organic acquisition strategy with Salams in November and then implementing SEO tactics in December and January, the results were staggering and immediate. Here’s the data from the last three months compared to the previous three months: 
 
Impressions are up 130% 
Organic traffic is up 117%


### 16,000+ technical SEO fixes to outrank Home Depot
https://tuffgrowth.com/outranked-home-depot/
Early in 2020, Renogy approached Tuff to handle all of their SEO needs for their US and international websites. 
 
Tuff had previously been creating blog content for Renogy’s US website but was not managing technical SEO or anything else.
 
We analyzed all of their existing websites and put together a comprehensive SEO strategy to increase organic traffic and revenue. This is how we did it.


### How Our Email Winback Strategy Converted at 27%
https://tuffgrowth.com/email-winback-campaign/
At its simplest, Dumpling is a grocery delivery app. But dig a bit further and you’ll see that Dumpling is taking a service that has historically capitalized on the gig economy and flipping it.
Dumpling reached out to Tuff looking for a growth marketing agency that could help them attract and keep more engaged users. Here’s a look at what we worked on together.
