HR Software Startup

A Bengaluru-based HR software startup had a 5-person sales team spending ₹2.5L/month on Google Ads with a cost-per-lead of ₹3,800. Their website had 80 pages but only 3 ranking in the top 20 positions on Google. Keyword cannibalization was causing pages to compete with each other.

Our Approach

1

Keyword Architecture & Cannibalization Fix

Mapped all existing pages to a restructured keyword architecture. Identified 23 cases of keyword cannibalization. Consolidated 18 thin pages into 6 comprehensive ones. Implemented clear keyword-to-page mapping across all 80 pages.

2

Content Cluster Strategy

Built 4 comprehensive pillar pages targeting high-value HR software keywords (3,500–5,000 words each). Created 32 cluster articles supporting each pillar. Structure established topical authority in HR software within 6 months.

3

Technical & On-Page Optimization

Resolved technical issues including slow database queries causing >5s TTFB for logged-out users, fixed crawl errors, implemented proper meta tags, and optimized all CTAs and conversion paths on high-traffic pages.

4

Co-citation Link Building

Secured guest posts on 18 HR and business software publications (DA 45–72). Built thought leadership through bylined articles in StartupStories and Inc42. DR grew from 14 to 43.

We hired Sarvam SEO when we were desperate to reduce our CAC. 12 months later, organic is our highest-converting channel at 8% lead-to-customer rate vs. 2% for paid ads. The ROI is extraordinary.
