What a New Jersey university was missing was the link building expertise and capacity to establish its digital presence at speed. They came to us in July 2023 with a tight deadline, and we got straight to work.
Link building in the education niche demands precision — only highly relevant, contextually appropriate content earns placements on credible academic sites. The university's new SEO team understood the strategy but didn't have the experience or bandwidth to execute it at scale. With admissions targets tied directly to organic visibility and a narrow window to deliver results, the margin for error was slim, and the pressure to perform was real.
We executed a multi-channel link building strategy built specifically around the education niche's unique demands and content standards.
