Driving 44.7% Ranking Growth for a BFSI Leader through Targeted Link-Building & SEO

The Client

A prominent financial services provider in India collaborated with our SEO team to strengthen its online authority through a targeted monthly link-building campaign.

The initiative aimed to enhance organic visibility and keyword performance across high-intent BFSI categories.

The Objective

To drive sustained ranking growth and improve organic visibility for high-value BFSI keywords through a consistent, white-hat link-building program — focused on quality, contextual alignment, and authority reinforcement.

The Challenge

  • The BFSI search space is one of the most competitive verticals in India, with dominant players and frequent SERP volatility.
  • Rankings were affected by Google’s algorithmic changes, requiring stable, authority-driven off-page signals.
  • The brand needed to expand domain credibility while maintaining adherence to ethical SEO and E-E-A-T principles.

The Solution

1. High-Authority Backlink Acquisition

  • Secured backlinks from reputable BFSI, investment, and financial news domains (DA 40+).
  • Prioritised editorial mentions and feature inclusions on industry-relevant websites.

2. Thematic Reinforcement through Relevance

  • Focused exclusively on contextual backlinks mapped to existing product clusters — term insurance, ULIPs, and life insurance.
  • Ensured each link strengthened Google’s topical understanding of the brand’s expertise in financial planning and protection.

3. Anchor Optimisation & Diversity

  • Maintained a balanced anchor ratio between branded, generic, and exact-match anchors to ensure a natural backlink profile.
  • Avoided over-optimisation by varying placement context and content themes.

4. Continuous Monitoring & Insights

  • Monitored keyword progress via SEMrush and Google Search Console.
  • Adjusted link-building focus areas monthly based on performance and ranking shifts.

Execution Highlights

  • Monthly outreach targeting high-authority finance and policy platforms.
  • Leveraged content-led placements and contextual linking in informational articles.
  • Ensured full compliance with Google’s white-hat SEO standards.
  • Mapped backlink acquisition directly with ranking trends for better attribution.
