What These SEO Case Studies and Results Have in Common

Five brands, five different starting points: a new Australian scooter store, an established Australian retailer changing platforms, a UK B2B staffing site, a Philippine EdTech platform and one of the world’s biggest betting brands.

What they share is the order of work. Technical problems get fixed first, content is matched to what people actually search, and links are built carefully after that, mostly earned through outreach, with any paid placements disclosed to the client. Reporting stays simple so everyone knows what changed and why.

All traffic figures in these SEO case studies come from Semrush historical estimates for each domain, so you can check them yourself. Google’s SEO Starter Guide explains the basics behind most of this work.
