B2B SEO Case Study

Expanding non-branded search visibility for a document processing leader.

An established provider had deep industry expertise and loyal customers, but prospective buyers searching for document processing solutions were not consistently finding the company. Cadence SEO built a broader search foundation around service clarity, content, on-page optimization, and authority.

Search Footprint Broader keyword visibility

The website began appearing for a wider range of non-branded industry and solution searches.

Organic Discovery More qualified traffic

Improved rankings created more pathways for prospective buyers to discover the company.

Commercial Clarity Stronger service journeys

Expanded solution and industry pages made complex offerings easier to understand and evaluate.

Digital Authority Greater market credibility

Useful content and relevant backlinks reinforced the website as a trusted industry resource.

The Client

Complex document processing solutions built for high-stakes industries.

The client transforms complex physical and digital documents into usable data. Its technology and services support organizations where speed, accuracy, compliance, and operational efficiency matter.

The company already had strong relationships and recognized expertise. The search opportunity was to make that expertise discoverable to buyers who knew the problem they needed to solve—but did not yet know the brand.

A broad portfolio needed a clearer digital structure.

The website needed to explain both industry-specific applications and individual processing solutions without creating disconnected pages or forcing buyers to translate technical language on their own.

  • Accounts payable and remittance processing
  • Customer onboarding and loan processing
  • Digital mailroom and return-mail workflows
  • High-speed scanning and data-capture technology
  • Industry-specific compliance and operational needs
The Challenge

Strong brand recognition was not translating into broad search visibility.

Existing customers understood the company’s capabilities, but search demand extended far beyond branded terms. The website needed to reach buyers searching by industry, workflow, technology, and business problem.

01 · DISCOVERY

Too much dependence on branded search

People already familiar with the company could find it. New audiences searching for document processing solutions had fewer opportunities to encounter the brand.

02 · COMPLEXITY

A large portfolio was difficult to navigate

Multiple industries, products, workflows, and use cases required a clearer information architecture and more focused commercial pages.

03 · COMPETITION

Authority needed to extend beyond the brand

Competitive non-branded searches required useful content, on-page relevance, and credible third-party signals working together.

The Strategic Foundation

Start with the market, the customer, and the website—not a list of isolated keywords.

Cadence SEO began with a site audit, keyword research, and competitor analysis. The goal was to understand how buyers described their needs, which page types search results rewarded, where competitors were visible, and how the existing website could support a broader strategy.

  • Mapped commercial and informational search demand
  • Identified gaps across industries, solutions, and use cases
  • Reviewed competing pages, formats, and authority signals
  • Prioritized pages by relevance and business importance
  • Connected content opportunities to service journeys

The SEO Strategy

Build more ways for the right buyer to enter the website.

The campaign combined commercial page development, content strategy, on-page SEO, internal linking, and authority development so each part of the website reinforced the others.

Step 01

Expand industry and solution coverage

Built and improved focused pages explaining what the company offers, who each solution serves, and how it addresses specific operational challenges.

Step 02

Create useful search-led resources

Developed content outlines around document processing questions and problems, giving the internal team a clear roadmap for valuable articles.

Step 03

Strengthen on-page relevance

Improved titles, headings, page structure, internal links, and topic alignment so search engines and visitors could interpret each page more easily.

Step 04

Build credible external authority

Identified relevant industry sources and secured backlinks to priority pages, strengthening credibility and competitive potential.

Content With a Commercial Purpose

Translate technical capability into clear customer value.

The content program was not designed simply to publish more. It was designed to clarify the offer, answer real questions, support core service pages, and create useful paths from early research to a sales conversation.

BUY

Commercial Pages

Detailed industry and solution pages helped buyers understand capabilities, applications, and the problems each offering could solve.

LEARN

Educational Resources

PATH

Connected Journeys

Authority Development

Support strong pages with signals competitors cannot create on their own websites.

Relevant backlinks helped reinforce the client’s credibility around document processing topics. The strategy prioritized sources aligned with the industry and pages that mattered to the broader visibility plan.

  • Identify reputable and contextually relevant sources
  • Connect outreach with useful pages and resources
  • Strengthen priority commercial and educational URLs
  • Build authority that supports non-branded competition
