The rash on October 15 was a TV appearance in the show "Höhle der Löwen", which is why we deduct 21,000 clicks here, as well as 9,000 clicks for possible subsequent clicks in the following days as a gesture of goodwill. We also deduct 50,000 impressions for the day, as well as 30,000 additional impressions as a gesture of goodwill.

Before and after

Bitter Love

The task

The start-up Bitterliebe, known from the show "Die Höhle der Löwen" (The Lion's Den) wants to reach its target group via Google and achieve a top position for all terms related to "bitters".

Target #1: Top rankings for bitter keywords to build an organic revenue channel

Target #2: Top rankings for posts around health topics to reach new prospects

Initial situation:

The website was created in mid-2019, has occasional content posts with recipes, but does not have any content creation or Linkbuilding.

Thanks to "Die Höhle der Löwen", Bitterliebe has a certain level of brand awareness and gets a good reputation even without SEO. Traffic of 50-100 visitors per day. This initial situation provides a very good basis for SEO success.
