About the Project
A global software development company serving enterprise clients across the US and Europe — custom development, cloud consulting, data and analytics, AI/ML and computer vision, all under one roof.
The Challenge
Each of the client’s service lines competes for Google visibility against established directories, agency listicles, and competitor sites — for commercial B2B terms across three unrelated niches at once, not a single flagship keyword.
What We Set Out to Achieve
Our Approach
Mapping the keyword set to the business
Selected three commercial B2B queries, each mapped to a distinct service line: data warehouse consulting, software development outsourcing, and computer vision development — rather than concentrating on one flagship term.
Placing content where the audience already is
Placed each post in the subreddit matching its specific buyer: r/fintech for data warehouse consulting, r/learnmachinelearning for software development companies in Europe, r/website for computer vision development services.
Building enough signal to rank
Sustained engagement on each thread to accumulate the signals Google rewards — for the software development query, that meant a visible climb from the top 3 into the #1 spot.
Key Takeaways
Data warehouse consulting services — straight to #1
The r/fintech post reached the first position in Google for “data warehouse consulting services.”
Software development companies in Europe — top 3 to #1
The r/learnmachinelearning post entered the top 3 first, then climbed to #1 as engagement built.
Computer vision development services — page one + AI citation
The r/website post reached Google’s first page and later began appearing as a source in AI-generated answers.
