The Team:

The digital marketing team at Simpplr, led by Kim Luu, VP of Growth Marketing, collaborated closely with Quattr to drive strategic marketing initiatives. The success of this collaboration was largely driven by Tatyana Grinenko, Senior Manager, Digital Marketing at Simpplr. She and her team leveraged the capabilities of Quattr to optimize and amplify marketing efforts.

"Quattr has eliminated the guesswork from SEO content production, enabling faster content creation that is AI-optimized for higher SEO rankings. This has helped drive organic traffic at an impressive upward incline."

THE CHALLENGE

Acquiring Leads Through Organic Channels

Simpplr faced a significant challenge in driving leads through organic channels. Their sales pipeline primarily relied on inbound lead generation. While they had success with paid ads and SEM strategies, it proved to be an unsustainable and costly approach.

The company needed an effective tool and SEO expertise to address meeting aggressive KPI goals. Some key challenges that Simpplr was looking to address:

1. Build a successful in-house content marketing & SEO program: Needed a solution to scale organic channels without the usual guesswork.

2. High PPC Costs: The cost of running ads for non-brand terms was excessively high due to growing competition for popular industry terms.

3. Growing Content Gaps: Competitors were scaling content for key topics and winning SERP rankings.

Team Simpplr wanted to leverage AI to establish SEO as a reliable conversion channel and build a growth marketing program. Compared to other tools and agencies, the Quattr platform demonstrated an effective use of AI.

THE SOLUTION

Maximize Simpplr’s Organic Reach With Quattr’s Custom Content Engine

1. Building Simpplr's Growth with Quattr’s Unified Platform

Quattr integrated Simpplr's data from Google Ads and Search Console, creating a unified view to find growth opportunities. Automated taxonomy models organized the datasets based on the site's architecture. This streamlined performance measurement across their thousands of pages, helping direct organic efforts in synergy with PPC.

2. Optimizing Content to Gain Early Organic Traffic Wins with AI-guided Workflows

In the beginning, Simpplr focused on optimizing key glossary and blog pages to improve rankings and subsequently capture non-brand clicks.

Quattr's AI-guided content evaluation workflow allowed the team to assess and improve the relevance of page content for target keywords. The platform also identified topic gaps, optimizing the pages for better content quality compared to competitors.

The team optimized 200+ pages and tracked performance to see a significant jump in non-brand traffic and page rankings on SERPs within 3 months.

3. Interlinking Optimized Content to Gain Topical Authority

Optimizing key pages was not enough, increasing their visibility on search engines was key to acquiring traffic.

Quattr’s smart internal linking features and automated delivery API helped Simpplr add semantically relevant internal links across 750+ glossary and blog pages on their website in a matter of 48 hours.

4. Publishing New Content To Target Niche Keywords for Targeted Traffic Growth

Optimizing content and creating interlinked topical hubs significantly increased Simpplr’s visibility for more niche, long-tail keywords. As a result, the team began writing new content using Quattr's competitive insights to craft high-quality drafts that beat the competition.

"Previously, we published 4 new pieces of content each month. With Quattr’s AI-guided content workflows, we publish 8-10 optimized articles monthly. Quattr has streamlined our process to create superior content compared to competitors while also integrating Google-friendly best practices."

THE RESULT

Simpplr Achieves 2X YoY Increase in Non-brand Organic Traffic

Simpplr organic traffic on glossary pages went through a hockey stick increase.

Quattr helped Simpplr surpass its 15% quarterly growth target, achieving a steady 20% increase in organic traffic within 6 months. With this consistent performance, Simpplr has become #1 in organic traffic in the employee intranet software space over the past two years, maintaining upward momentum despite significant search algorithm changes that impacted competitors.

Before Quattr, Simpplr relied on paid spend for non-brand traffic acquisition. But by focusing on optimizing pages for key non-brand terms and creating new pages, Simpplr saw a 25% increase in organically sourced non-brand traffic to the website.

A critical element that made Quattr the right partner for Simpplr’s organic growth was having an expert aid by their side. James, Quattr’s SEO concierge is working closely with Simpplr’s team in their CRO efforts across the website.
