MailCharts, a leading e-commerce tool for email and SMS marketing inspiration, empowers marketers to explore competitors’ campaigns, discover industry trends, and ignite creativity with emerging email strategies.
As a valued client of Flow SEO, they approached us with an exciting challenge: to launch a fresh topical hub centered on SMS marketing examples.
Building on the success of their existing Email Marketing and Holiday Email Marketing hubs, this project offered the perfect chance to not only introduce new topics but also rejuvenate and elevate the content within the current hubs, enhancing their rankings.
Flow SEO’s Pillar Strategy
Our approach is built on research, planning, testing, and continuous improvement. Here’s how we executed the strategy:
Research Stage
We conducted a content audit, keyword research, and competitor analysis for the three main hubs (Email Examples, Holiday Emails, and SMS Examples).
Content Preparation
Using tools like Surfer SEO and Ahrefs, we created content briefs containing target keywords, outlines, competing pages, word count, and internal linking strategies.
Content Creation
New and updated content briefs were developed in collaboration with MailCharts and their external writer, followed by our team’s review before publishing.
Publishing
On average, five pieces, including blog posts, pillar pages, and subpages, were published or updated monthly.
Monitoring, Optimization, and Link Building
We used Ahrefs for keyword tracking and monitored pillar keywords to ensure top rankings. Internal linking was optimized, and monthly link building was conducted to enhance referring domains.
Product-Led Approach:
Pillar Pages
Each main topic (Holiday, Email, SMS) was structured with a pillar page, offering sub-pages and internal links to relevant blog posts.
Product-Led Sub-Pages
Sub-pages included a table of contents, strategies and tips, and real-world examples from well-known brands, all pulled from the MailCharts database.
Content Focus
The hubs concentrated on two key aspects: the customer journey (e.g., onboarding, re-engagement) and holiday email examples, a significant commercial space for U.S. e-commerce brands.
Scalable Implementation
The templated approach ensured consistency in MailChart’s voice and allowed for easy creation of new pages, enhancing user comfort while navigating the site.
Results
Organic Growth and Keyword Rankings
In a remarkable demonstration of success, our strategies led to significant Year-over-Year (YoY) growth for the Holiday Email Examples section of the site. Organic sessions soared by an impressive 91%, reflecting a substantial increase in user engagement and interest.
But the growth didn’t stop there. The number of ranked keywords for the Holiday Email Examples surged by a staggering 162% YoY. This expansion in keyword rankings played a vital role in enhancing the site’s visibility and reach, contributing to the overall success of the campaign.
Lead Generation
The impact on lead generation was equally noteworthy. Organic leads from the Holiday Email Examples grew by 49% YoY, while the Email Example hubs experienced a 10% YoY increase in leads. These figures not only signify a successful optimization of content but also translate to tangible business growth and potential revenue streams.
Launching New Content
With an eye on future growth and diversification, we successfully launched a new SMS Examples Hub. This ambitious project included the creation of a comprehensive pillar page, 14 sub-pages, and 14 blog posts, all tailored to a new product offering. This expansion not only broadened the content landscape but also positioned MailCharts as a thought leader in both email and SMS marketing.
Top 10 Keywords Performance
Finally, our targeted efforts led to a 45% YoY increase in the total number of top 10 keywords for Email Examples. This achievement is a testament to our focused keyword strategy and content optimization, ensuring that MailCharts continues to rank prominently for highly competitive and relevant terms.
