IndustryB2B SaaS — Revenue Technology
StageSeries B, 80 employees
LocationAustin, Texas
EngagementGrowth Retainer · $10K/month
Timeline11 months
Starting Point4,200 monthly sessions · 2.8 organic MQLs/month · zero LLM visibility
Attribution StackHubSpot CRM · GA4 · BigQuery · Looker Studio

The Challenge

Revenix had 4,200 monthly organic sessions and just 2.8 organic MQLs per month. Their content ranked for informational queries but attracted the wrong audience — students, researchers, and competitors. Attribution wasn't wired to their HubSpot CRM, so they couldn't see which pages were actually generating pipeline. They had zero visibility in ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google AI Overviews for decision-stage RevOps queries their buyers were actively using.

Our Strategy

  • Attribution rebuild: Integrated HubSpot with GA4 and BigQuery. Built Looker Studio dashboards showing pipeline contribution by query, page, and content type. Implemented multi-touch attribution showing both sourced and influenced pipeline.
  • Query network mapping: Mapped the full buying-committee query network across 6 stakeholder personas — CRO, VP Sales Operations, Sales Enablement Director, RevOps Manager, CFO, and CTO.
  • BOFU content buildout: Built 24 BOFU pages — comparison pages, alternatives pages, and solution pages — optimized for AEO citation. Every page targeted a specific buying-committee query.
  • AEO/GEO optimization: Structured all content for citation by ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. Tracked LLM citation rate as a primary KPI from month one.
  • Technical foundation: Resolved JavaScript rendering issues on product pages, deployed FAQ and HowTo schema, restructured internal linking to distribute authority to BOFU pages.

"By month eight, our CRO was asking for the SEO dashboard in every revenue review. The $2.1M in influenced pipeline is in HubSpot, tied to named opportunities, and a third of it has closed. For the first time, SEO has a seat at the revenue table — not just the marketing table." — Marcus Okafor, VP of Marketing, Revenix Inc. · Austin, TX

Case Study 02 — Halcyon Precision Components · Contract Manufacturing · Cleveland, OH

$1.4M Sourced Pipeline
CompanyHalcyon Precision Components
IndustryContract Manufacturing — Precision Machining
Stage$30M annual revenue, 31 years in business
LocationCleveland, Ohio
EngagementGrowth Retainer + Migration Recovery
Timeline14 months
Starting PointBotched migration wiped 60% of link equity · 890 monthly sessions · zero organic RFQs
Attribution StackCall tracking · CRM RFQ attribution · GA4

The Challenge

A botched domain migration had wiped 60% of Halcyon's link equity and dropped organic sessions from 3,100 to 890 per month. The company — 31 years in business with a full order book — was suddenly invisible to procurement buyers searching for precision machining services. Worse, industrial buyers using Perplexity and ChatGPT to shortlist suppliers couldn't find them at all. They were losing RFPs to competitors who showed up in searches Halcyon wasn't appearing in.

Our Strategy

  • Migration recovery: Recovered lost link equity through 301 mapping, disavowed toxic links from the migration, and rebuilt the internal link architecture to restore authority flow.
  • Industrial procurement query network: Mapped the full procurement query network — by process (CNC milling, Swiss turning, EDM), by material (aluminum, titanium, Inconel), by certification (ISO 9001, AS9100, ITAR), and by application (aerospace, medical device, semiconductor).
  • Capability page buildout: Built 34 capability and application pages, each targeting a specific procurement query. Every page structured for LLM citation with definitional sentences and specification tables.
  • Attribution implementation: Wired call tracking and RFQ attribution for the first time. Every inbound RFQ could now be traced to the specific organic query and page that generated it.

"Organic is now our highest-converting inbound channel — and the RFQ quality is better because buyers already know we can do the work before they call. The industrial procurement query mapping was the game-changer. Our competitors still don't have pages for half the queries we're now ranking for." — Sandra Kowalczyk, Director of Business Development, Halcyon Precision Components · Cleveland, OH

Case Study 03 — Veridian Security · Zero Trust Cybersecurity · Series C · San Francisco, CA

$2.1M Non-Brand Pipeline
CompanyVeridian Security — Zero Trust platform
IndustryCybersecurity — Zero Trust Network Access
StageSeries C, 200 employees
LocationSan Francisco, California
EngagementEnterprise Retainer · $20K+/month
Timeline9 months
Starting PointDR 52 · 1,100 non-brand sessions/month · zero AI search visibility · 0 organic SQLs
Attribution StackSalesforce CRM · GA4 · BigQuery · custom LLM citation tracker

The Challenge

Veridian Security was competing against Zscaler and Palo Alto Networks with a domain rating of 52 and 1,100 non-brand organic sessions per month generating zero pipeline. Their content was well-written but ranked for informational queries their buyers weren't using. They were completely invisible in ChatGPT and Perplexity vendor shortlists for ZTNA queries. A Next.js rendering issue was ghosting 23 of their product pages — Google couldn't index them.

Our Strategy

  • Semantic gap strategy: Rather than trying to outrank Zscaler and Palo Alto on head terms, we identified the semantic gaps incumbents weren't covering — specific ZTNA use cases by industry, technical evaluation criteria, and compliance-specific queries (CMMC, FedRAMP, SOC 2 for ZTNA).
  • Content program: Built 41 pieces of technical and evaluation content — 18 technical deep-dives for security architects, 12 business-case pages for CISOs, 7 compliance framework pages, and 4 original research reports with proprietary threat data.
  • Technical recovery: Fixed the Next.js rendering issue that was ghosting 23 product pages. Deployed full schema markup suite. Optimized Core Web Vitals across the site.
  • AEO/GEO program: Tracked citation rate across 50 ZTNA queries as a primary KPI. Structured all content for AI extraction. Built first-party data moat through original research that AI engines cite as primary sources.

"Three of our last five enterprise deals came through an inbound inquiry where the buyer mentioned they'd found us through an AI search. That was zero nine months ago. B2B SEO Giants built our AEO and GEO program from scratch, and it's now our fastest-growing pipeline channel. Our semantic gap strategy means we rank for queries our competitors don't even have pages for." — Derek Simmons, VP of Marketing, Veridian Security · San Francisco, CA

Case Study 04 — Threshold Analytics · B2B Fintech · Series A · Chicago, IL

$980K Influenced Pipeline
CompanyThreshold Analytics — Financial data platform
IndustryB2B Fintech — Treasury & Risk Analytics
StageSeries A, 45 employees
LocationChicago, Illinois
EngagementGrowth Retainer · $10K/month
Timeline10 months
Starting Point2,800 monthly sessions · 1.1 organic MQLs/month · zero YMYL content strategy
Attribution StackSalesforce CRM · Pardot · GA4 · Looker Studio

The Challenge

Threshold Analytics operated in the heavily regulated fintech space — YMYL territory where Google applies its strictest E-E-A-T standards. Their content was well-researched but lacked the author credentials, expert citations, and trust signals Google requires for financial content. They had 2,800 monthly sessions producing 1.1 organic MQLs per month. Their competitors — enterprise platforms with decade-old domains — dominated every head term. Zero AI search visibility.

Our Strategy

  • E-E-A-T rebuild: Added credentialed author bios with CFA and CTP designations to all content. Implemented rigorous source citation standards. Built a dedicated editorial policy page. Added publication dates and last-reviewed timestamps to every page.
  • YMYL content strategy: Built 28 pieces of YMYL-compliant content — treasury management guides, risk assessment frameworks, compliance documentation, and vendor evaluation criteria for financial buyers.
  • Comparison page program: Built 16 comparison pages targeting "[Competitor] vs Threshold Analytics" and "[Competitor] alternatives" queries. These pages captured CFOs and treasurers actively evaluating vendors.
  • AI search optimization: Structured all content for citation by ChatGPT and Perplexity for treasury and risk management queries. Tracked citation rate across 40 target queries.

Case Study 05 — Meridian Logistics · B2B Supply Chain · $45M Revenue · Atlanta, GA

$1.7M Sourced Pipeline
CompanyMeridian Logistics — 3PL & Supply Chain
IndustryB2B Logistics — Third-Party Logistics Provider
Stage$45M annual revenue, 400 employees
LocationAtlanta, Georgia
EngagementGrowth Retainer + Programmatic SEO Build
Timeline15 months
Starting Point5,100 monthly sessions · 4 organic leads/month · no programmatic SEO · no AI visibility
Attribution StackHubSpot CRM · call tracking · GA4 · Looker Studio

The Challenge

Meridian Logistics had 5,100 monthly sessions producing 4 organic leads per month. Their website was a brochure — 50 pages describing services in general terms. They weren't ranking for the specific queries logistics buyers use: "temperature-controlled warehousing Atlanta," "cross-docking services Southeast," "FTL brokerage for food grade products." Their competitors were capturing this traffic with programmatic pages targeting every service-location combination. Meridian had zero programmatic SEO and zero AI search visibility.

Our Strategy

  • Programmatic SEO buildout: Built 280+ programmatic pages targeting every service-location combination — warehousing by city, freight brokerage by lane, cross-docking by region, and specialty services by industry vertical. Every page built from structured data templates with unique content.
  • Service page architecture: Restructured the site around 8 core service pillars with supporting cluster content. Built pillar pages for warehousing, brokerage, cross-docking, last-mile delivery, and supply chain consulting.
  • Local SEO for logistics hubs: Optimized Google Business Profiles for 6 distribution center locations. Built location-specific content for each hub. Deployed local schema markup.
  • AI search optimization: Structured service pages for citation by ChatGPT and Perplexity for logistics and supply chain queries. Built first-party data content with shipping benchmarks and cost calculators.

"The programmatic SEO build transformed our organic presence. We went from 50 brochure pages to 330+ pages targeting the exact queries our buyers use.

What Clients Say

Verified Client Testimonials

Every testimonial on this page is from a named client with a verifiable role at a real company. No anonymous quotes. No stock-photo endorsements.

"B2B SEO Giants is the first B2B SEO agency we've worked with that actually connected SEO to our pipeline. The attribution work alone changed how our entire executive team thinks about organic search. It's no longer a marketing cost center — it's a revenue channel with measurable contribution."

Marcus Okafor, VP of Marketing Revenix Inc. · B2B SaaS · Series B · Austin, TX

"We almost didn't do this. Thirty-one years in business, figured we didn't need SEO. But we kept losing RFPs to competitors our buyers found through Google. B2B SEO Giants mapped our procurement query network and built pages that actually show up when our buyers are searching. The RFQ quality is better because buyers already know we can do the work."

Sandra Kowalczyk, Director of BD Halcyon Precision Components · Cleveland, OH

"Three enterprise deals from AI search in nine months. That's the headline. B2B SEO Giants built our AEO and GEO program from scratch, and it's now our fastest-growing pipeline channel. Their senior-only model means the people who built the strategy are the people executing it — no handoff to junior staff."

Derek Simmons, VP of Marketing Veridian Security · Zero Trust · Series C · San Francisco, CA

"The E-E-A-T work was transformative. We'd been publishing quality content for eighteen months, but it wasn't until B2B SEO Giants added proper author credentials, source citations, and trust signals that our financial content started ranking. The comparison pages now drive our highest-quality inbound leads."

How We Deliver

How We Achieve These Results — Our Methodology

Every case study on this page was produced through the same five-phase methodology, calibrated to the client's stage and goals.

01

Pipeline-First Attribution

Before touching a single keyword, we wire your CRM — HubSpot, Salesforce, Marketo, or Pardot — to track organic's contribution to pipeline. Multi-touch attribution shows both sourced and influenced revenue. Rankings are diagnostics; pipeline is the outcome.

02

Query Network Mapping

We map the full buying-committee query network — every keyword every stakeholder uses across the cycle. B2B buying committees include 6-10 decision-makers. Content that addresses only one persona misses the other nine.

03

BOFU-First Content Production

We prioritize bottom-of-funnel content — comparison pages, alternatives pages, solution pages — because BOFU pages convert at 3-10x the rate of TOFU content. Pipeline comes from capturing demand that already exists.

04

AEO and GEO Optimization

Every piece of content is optimized for citation by ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews. We track LLM citation rate as a measurable KPI alongside traditional rankings.

05

Senior-Only Execution

No juniors on accounts. Every strategy is built by a senior strategist with verifiable B2B in-house experience. Every piece of content is reviewed by a senior editor. The people who pitch the work do the work.
