Real search growth in a competitive category - verified Ahrefs data, no estimates.
Charity Miles operates in a space where buyers research extensively before purchasing. Search visibility is where purchase intent lives - being absent from page 1 means losing customers to competitors before they ever see your brand.
The challenge: ranking for high-intent category terms means outranking established players with years of content authority and domain strength. Generic tactics don't work. What does is a systematic approach built around real buyer search behavior.
QCK came in with a data-driven content strategy targeting the exact searches that precede purchase decisions - not vanity rankings, but terms that convert.
Charity Miles carved out ranking space at the intersection of fitness apps and cause-driven giving — a keyword cluster too niche for fitness giants and too active for pure charity brands.
These are cold-traffic terms. People searching these don't know Charity Miles exists yet. That's the opportunity - and the win.
Built a comprehensive keyword map covering every stage of the buyer research journey — identifying the exact terms buyers use: “employee engagement best practices”, “employee engagement app”, and “kelly roberts”. Prioritized by search volume, intent, and competitive gap — targeting the terms where real purchase decisions happen.
Created and published keyword-targeted articles and landing pages at scale — built around the exact terms buyers search: “employee engagement best practices”, “employee engagement app”, and “kelly roberts”. Each piece optimized for a primary keyword + supporting terms + internal links to product pages.
Full technical audit and remediation. Fixed heading hierarchy, rewrote meta titles and descriptions, submitted updated sitemap to GSC, resolved indexing gaps, and implemented systematic internal linking.
Optimized product and collection pages for search and conversion. CTR-focused title tags, FAQ schema on informational pages, and copy aligned with target keywords while preserving brand voice.
SEO doesn't flip overnight. But when the strategy is right, the data tells a clear story.
