The Client

Testsigma is an established SaaS platform for automated software testing. Strong product, active blog — but organic traffic had been parked at roughly 9,000 monthly visitors for far too long. In a niche as competitive as test automation, standing still means falling behind.

The Plan

After several strategy sessions, we committed to a two-engine approach: a sustained, high-authority link building campaign from our side, and a serious step-up in publishing from theirs. Neither works nearly as well alone.

1. 575 links from DR50–93 sites

Over 23 months we secured 575 backlinks80% niche edits placed inside established, ranking articles and 20% guest posts on industry sites. 98% of all links were editorial. Placements included HubSpot, Namecheap, G2, BigCommerce, OpenCart, FlippingBook, and Envato.

2. An anchor map built around 25 keywords

  • 60% of links → blog pages to push content visibility and rankings
  • 30% → key landing pages where trials and demos convert
  • 10% → brand anchors to keep the profile natural

3. 40+ new articles a month

The site had authority potential but not enough surface area. Testsigma’s team answered with 40+ quality posts per month, giving us endless internal linking opportunities and Google an ever-expanding footprint to reward.

Month by Month

Months 1–3 — Stabilize. 25 authority links per month halted the stagnation; the first upward movement appeared within weeks.

Months 4–12 — Accelerate. With momentum confirmed, consistent link acquisition plus the new content engine pushed traffic past 100K by month 12.

Months 13–23 — Compound. A steady 25 links per month aimed at increasingly competitive keywords carried the site to 256K monthly visitors, with top positions across high-intent terms.

The Results

  • Organic traffic: 8.9K → 256K monthly visitors (+2,776%)
  • Ranking keywords: 8,780 → 58,121, with many first-page, high-intent rankings
  • Domain Rating: 53 → 74
  • Link profile: 575 links, 98% editorial, all from DR50–93 domains

This is what happens when authority building and content production pull in the same direction for two years straight: not a spike, but a permanent step-change in organic reach.
