Case study · Staffing & hiring

A hiring marketplace grew from 2.1k to 18.3k monthly clicks.

A page for every skill, tool and industry employers search, on a platform rebuilt to carry them.

2.1k → 18.3k monthly clicks

Monthly organic clicks from Google Search Console. The January spike was one month and fell back.

The problem

Employers search for a skill, a tool or an industry, not a marketplace's name. Most of those searches had no page to land on.

What we did

  • Pages employers search

    Page sets for skills, tools and industries, each with its own content, not a swapped-in keyword.

  • A platform rebuild

    The site moved from WordPress to a custom application, with a separate blog.

  • Non-brand as the growth number

    Brand and non-brand reported apart from day one, so growth could not hide behind the name.

What changed

Monthly clicks grew almost ninefold in sixteen months, and nine in ten come from searches that don't include the name.

What's next

Salary pages by role, held to the same data rule as the rest of the set.
