Scaling Non-Brand Discovery During Navratri Using SEO-First Content
The Client
Navratri is a culturally significant festive period in India, driving massive search demand around daily colours, rituals, dates, and celebration planning. Users actively search for Navratri-related information weeks in advance, making it a high-opportunity window for non-brand organic discovery.
For Navratri 2025, Infidigit identified a strong gap in search-optimized, intent-led festive content and executed a focused SEO strategy to capture early demand, improve rankings for high-volume informational queries, and convert festive curiosity into sustained organic traffic.
The Objective
- Capture Navratri 2025 search demand ahead of the festive peak
- Rank for high-volume Navratri informational keywords
- Drive exponential non-brand organic growth
- Increase organic sessions, users, and engagement YoY
- Strengthen topical authority around festive and cultural searches
The Challenge
Highly competitive festive SERPs: Navratri-related searches are dominated by large publishers and high-authority websites, making it difficult to gain visibility for non-brand informational queries.
Short festive window with early demand: User interest peaks weeks before Navratri, leaving a narrow window to identify intent, create content, index pages, and achieve rankings before competition intensifies.
Lack of structured, SEO-optimized festive content: Existing content across the ecosystem was either generic, unstructured, or not aligned with user search behavior such as day-wise Navratri colours and rituals.
Dependence on branded traffic: Prior to the initiative, organic visibility relied more on branded searches, limiting the ability to scale top-of-funnel, non-brand discovery during festive periods.
Adapting to AI-driven search experiences: With the rise of AI Overviews and LLM-based answers, traditional SEO alone was insufficient—content needed to be concise, factual, and AI-readable without losing depth.
Ensuring fast crawlability and indexing: Festive pages needed to be discovered, indexed, and ranked quickly, requiring careful internal linking and crawl-flow optimization.
The Strategy
1. Festive Search Intelligence & Keyword Mapping
Infidigit conducted early-stage festive keyword research to identify high-intent Navratri queries with strong search volumes and repeat user interest, including:
- navratri related searches
These keywords are highly informational, frequently searched, and ideal for attracting top-of-funnel users at scale.
2. Dedicated Navratri Blog Page Creation
Instead of relying on generic festive mentions, Infidigit created dedicated Navratri-focused blog pages that:
- Clearly explained Navratri colours day-wise
- Answered common user questions in a structured format
- Included clear headings, scannable sections, and FAQs
- Were internally linked from relevant evergreen pages
This ensured faster indexing, improved crawlability, and stronger topical relevance.
3. On-Page SEO, AEO & AI-Ready Structuring
The Navratri pages were optimized to perform across both traditional SERPs and AI-driven search experiences by:
- Aligning H1/H2s precisely with Navratri colour queries
- Structuring content for featured snippets and AI summaries
- Adding factual, concise blocks suitable for LLM consumption
- Strengthening EEAT signals through clarity, accuracy, and completeness
This helped the content gain strong visibility during the festive search surge.
4. Non-Brand Traffic Scale-Up Strategy
A key success factor was Infidigit’s focus on non-brand growth, achieved by:
- Targeting culturally relevant, non-commercial keywords
- Reducing dependency on branded searches
- Using internal linking to pass authority from high-performing pages
- Continuously optimizing content during the festive window
This allowed the brand to dominate Navratri-related searches organically.
