The brief

In search, volume lives in long-tail queries.

Astrology is one of the highest-volume search niches in India. Millions of people look up horoscopes, planetary transits, and birth chart calculations every day. The challenge was building an architecture capable of ranking for tens of thousands of queries without relying on ads.

Reach 5 lakh+ users without commercial ad spend by owning the search SERPs.

2020 to 2022

What we built.

Our in-house team ran the SEO for the first two years.

Pages matched to how people search

We worked on the pages that matched how people search astrology content, building for the queries that actually carry volume.

Content depth those queries reward

We built the content depth those queries reward, growing organic sessions from around 12,000 a month to around 47,000 by June 2022.

Links from the same space

We earned links from publications in the astrology space, building the authority the rankings compounded on.

The handover

We told the client to stop paying us for execution.

The owner wanted this capability inside his own business, so we recommended he hire for it. He built a team, and we moved to consulting: which pages to add, what content those pages needed, which links to pursue, and how to run the Google Ads alongside. Side by side, we assign one resource from our team to help with everything.

Few agencies suggest a client stop paying them for execution. His volume goals made an in-house team the cheaper answer, and saying so kept us in the account for years afterwards.

Where the strategy led

Nine in ten visitors now arrive from organic search.

Today, the website attracts over half a million visitors every month without paying for search ads or sponsored placements.
