Project overview

ClientConfidential

A B2C provider of custom CV and resume services.

Duration1 year

Independent ownership of the SEO work.

Primary disciplineOff-page SEO

Extensive backlink building and authority development.

Supporting workBasic on-page SEO

Foundational page relevance and search improvements.

The challenge: visibility, leads and authority

The website needed to attract more organic traffic and create more opportunities for prospective customers to discover its CV and resume services. At the same time, its initial authority profile was limited, with a Moz Domain Authority score of 12.

The project therefore required sustained off-page work while maintaining the website’s basic on-page foundations. The goal was to create a stronger platform for organic discovery and lead generation rather than chase a metric in isolation.

The authority-building work supported a broader business objective: help more potential customers discover and trust the service through organic search.

The SEO strategy

Used Moz to understand the starting authority profile and monitor progress over time.

02

03

Support key pages

Completed basic on-page SEO work to strengthen relevance and search readiness.

04

Monitor organic performance

  1. Reviewed the starting authority profile.

    The initial Moz metrics provided a baseline for monitoring the website’s off-page development.

  2. Handled foundational on-page work.

    Basic page-level improvements supported the website’s relevance and organic-search readiness.

  3. Worked extensively on backlink building.

    Consistent off-page execution was used to expand the website’s link profile throughout the engagement.

  4. Managed the project independently.

    Research, implementation, monitoring and ongoing prioritization were handled without a supporting team.

  5. Tracked more than authority metrics.

    Search Console and GA4 were used alongside Moz to keep organic visibility and traffic connected to the wider business objective.

What the performance data means

The increase from DA 12 to 48 during the engagement demonstrates substantial development in the website’s Moz-measured link authority. The current report, showing DA 56 and 946 linking root domains, indicates that the authority profile remained strong after the tenure.

An important SEO distinction

Domain Authority is a third-party Moz metric, not a Google ranking factor. It is useful for tracking link-profile development, but organic traffic, search visibility and qualified leads remain the more important business outcomes.

The campaign aimed to support organic traffic and lead generation, but no verified traffic or lead totals were supplied for this case study. They are therefore presented as campaign objectives rather than claimed numerical results.
