Driving Festive Search Demand for Diwali 2025 Through SEO
The Client
Diwali is one of India’s highest-intent festive search periods, with users actively looking for Diwali dates, holiday planning ideas, and experiential getaways weeks before the festival. For Diwali 2025, the objective was to capture early festive demand, scale non-brand discovery, and convert informational searches into high-intent organic sessions.
Infidigit partnered closely with the client to design and execute a Diwali-focused SEO and content strategy, ensuring strong visibility across traditional search as well as AI-driven discovery platforms.
The Objective
- Capture Diwali festive search demand ahead of peak season
- Rank prominently for high-volume informational Diwali queries
- Drive non-brand organic growth through content-led discovery
- Improve organic sessions, users, and engagement metrics YoY
- Strengthen topical authority around festive travel & experiences
The Challenge
Highly competitive festive SERPs with publishers, news portals, and authority sites aggressively targeting Diwali-related keywords.
Short and volatile search window, where rankings and traffic peak within a limited time frame, leaving no room for late execution.
Over-reliance on brand-led searches historically, limiting visibility for high-volume non-brand Diwali queries.
Fragmented user intent, with searches spanning dates, holidays, planning ideas, and experiences—making it challenging to address all intents cohesively.
Difficulty in capturing AI-driven visibility (AI Overviews, featured snippets, LLM answers) for factual Diwali queries such as dates and calendars.
Need to balance informational intent with conversion potential, ensuring festive blogs drove discovery without remaining purely top-of-funnel.
Crawl and indexation prioritization during peak season, where new festive pages needed to be indexed and ranked quickly.
The Strategy
1. Festive Keyword Intelligence & Search Demand Mapping
Infidigit identified high-intent Diwali search patterns months in advance, focusing on queries such as:
- Diwali holidays & celebration-related planning queries
These keywords showed strong informational intent with high probability of downstream conversion when paired with experiential content.
2. Dedicated Diwali 2025 Content Hub Creation
Instead of relying on generic pages, Infidigit created dedicated Diwali-specific blog pages that:
- Clearly answered Diwali 2025 date-related queries
- Included structured content blocks optimized for featured snippets & AI answers
- Addressed “when”, “what”, and “how to plan”-type festive searches
- Internally linked to relevant experience and offering pages
This ensured both SEO depth and crawl efficiency.
3. On-Page & AEO Optimization for Festive Queries
Each Diwali page was optimized for:
- Clear H1–H2 keyword alignment
- Schema-friendly content blocks for dates & FAQs
- Concise, factual formatting to improve AI Overview visibility
- EEAT-aligned content signals to boost trust and relevance
This helped pages perform strongly across Google Search, Discover, and LLM-powered answers.
4. Non-Brand Growth Acceleration
A key focus was non-brand discovery, where Infidigit:
- Reduced dependency on branded searches
- Expanded visibility via informational festive keywords
- Used internal linking to push authority from evergreen pages to Diwali content
This resulted in exponential growth in non-brand impressions and clicks.
