How to boost organic traffic flow of cryptocurrency exchanger on the highly competitive US and UK markets

In this Wep Promotion case study the experience of a successful SEO promotion of cryptocurrency exchange service on the highly competitive US and UK markets is described. The mark of 6,5-fold traffic growth was reached in 14 months of collaboration due to a comprehensive approach to the website optimization and efficient content strategy elaboration. These results prove the possibility of a significant Google search visibility and conversion rate increment despite the harsh competitive environment.

Problem

At the very start of our cooperation it became clear that this crypto exchange service was stuck in the paradigm of an ordinary information website with a promotion strategy that was far from being efficient. Organic traffic indices were almost stagnant as all the efforts of the service owners were targeting solely at the quality of the provided services, without paying the due attention to attracting new visitors from search engines.

US and UK markets are characterized by a high competition level in crypto exchange business and require a comprehensive approach to SEO promotion. The initial traffic was about 3,5 thousand visitors per month, and that was clearly not enough to provide a solid client flow and service development.

Solution

The comprehensive SEO promotion strategy including the following key components was developed and implemented to achieve the goals that had been set:

  1. Commercial pages design update  
  2. The complete design update of all the commercial pages of the website was carried out, elevating the service’s visitors trust level and increasing the number of performed exchange transactions. 

  3. Micro-conversion system implementation
  4. The micro-conversion system was developed and implemented on the website to track the users’ activity. Not only did it optimize the client’s path to the exchange operation but also created the positive search signals for Google that demonstrated a high level of audience engagement.

  5. Authoritative authorship system (E-E-A-T) establishment
  6. We have built the authorship system and launched an informative blog about cryptocurrencies, different exchange pairs, advantages and drawbacks of various digital assets. We paid special attention to EEAT (Expertise, Experience, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness) factors development including verification of material by the experts, and supplementation of content with professional comments and remarks.    

  7. Online currency exchange calculator development
  8. A functional currency exchange calculator was developed providing relevant real-time information about cryptocurrencies prices via Huobi & BitExchange proxies and API.    

  9. Landing pages content expansion  
  10. The content volume both on landing pages for the specific exchange pairs as well as on the information website’s section was significantly increased. The applied improvements made the website content both more useful to users and optimized to match Google search engine requirements.

  11. Content strategy elaboration and link equity build-up
  12. We elaborated long-term content strategy for engagement of quality reference mass on fresh material and reinforcement of existing content with expert crowd links on external sources. These measures attracted real traffic from thematic crypto exchange forums.

  13. Linking optimization
  14. We also did good work on inner linking structure between informational and commercial pages which significantly improved the efficiency of users to the website interaction and increased conversion rate. All informational materials were a warm up funnel before cryptocurrency exchange (commercial services), they were relinked and linked with banners on the website.   

Result

Implementation of comprehensive approach to cryptocurrency exchange service SEO promotion allowed the achievement of the following results:

  • Significant organic traffic growth The organic traffic has increased more than 6,5-fold – starting from 3,5 thousand users up to 13 thousand visitors per month. Peak numbers of 18-20 thousand visits were recorded during the increased crypto market activity, which are excellent numbers for the competitive US and UK markets. The capacity to accept high traffic from search engines in crypto market crisis periods should be also emphasized.
  • Potential clients base expansion The potential clients base has been significantly expanded, including users that prefer to swap crypto via Telegram bot. With implemented UTM tags it is possible to track the full user’s path even from the website to the messenger.

Company’s blog continues to gain momentum attracting an additional audience.
