CocuSocial

Cooking Up Content Serves a 1,176% Increase in Page One Keywords

The Challenge

CocuSocial needed to craft an SEO strategy to help them grow their business into new markets.

The Solution

Victorious developed a keyword-rich content plan that later adapted to unexpected changes brought on by the pandemic.

The Results

Despite their pandemic pivot to an online model, CocuSocial saw nearly 10,000 positive position changes in Google Search.

Memories are made at the table. CocuSocial set out to share their expertise, bringing people flavorful new experiences that expand palates and skill sets. Speaking of expansion, CocuSocial was ready to move into some new markets with the help of a dedicated SEO partner — and then the pandemic hit.

The Original Plan

Victorious’ initial strategy started with our creative content ideation process. We identified groups of keywords driving traffic to competitors that CocuSocial wasn’t targeting. Then we built out relevant topics, optimized for search better than the competitors, and wrote some killer content. To gain traction with especially competitive keywords, we complemented our content efforts with backlinks from high-authority websites.

The Pandemic Pivot

With rankings on the rise, along came Covid. Like many, CocuSocial had to make some changes when it was soon clear that in-person cooking events were no longer viable. As they pivoted their business model to support virtual classes, Victorious was right there with them, quickly adjusting their content strategy to fit a new search intent.

"Their systematic SEO workflow is state-of-the-art."
