The challenge
New brand, crowded market
The client was new to the industry and competing with established fintech brands for the same searches. It needed visibility with local users actively looking for financial products, not just more traffic.

Our Forbes Growth System
Deep analysis of the most profitable market: keyword, traffic and authority data (Semrush, Ahrefs, Majestic) to find where the brand could win.
A content plan built around keywords, URLs and the local market: written by people, for people, and timed around financial news.
Publishing on hand-picked relevant sites: finance and business publications with real Philippine readership, with clean formatting and do-follow links.
Monitoring: UTM tracking and Google Analytics to see which placements brought engaged visitors.
The outcome
Quality traffic, not just more
Beyond the 37.25% traffic growth, engagement improved, with lower bounce rates and longer visits, and 90% of visitors came from the target country. The campaign also left the brand with a stronger, more diverse backlink profile.
