The Problem

The Challenge

The client's finance blog had 80+ articles but none ranking above page 3 on Google. The content was well-written but ignored basic on-page SEO — no keyword in the title tag, no internal linking, no structured headings, and average word count of just 600 words.

Key Insight
"Adding an FAQ section with 6 questions targeting "People Also Ask" results generated a featured snippet that drove 3x more clicks than the organic listing alone."
How We Solved It

Strategy & Execution

Chose a single target keyword with strong intent: "how to save tax in India for salaried employees" (12,000 monthly searches, KD 28). Wrote a comprehensive 2,800-word guide structured around the top 6 ranking articles' headings, adding unique depth in each section. Applied full on-page optimisation: keyword in title, H2s, first paragraph, image alt text, and meta description.

01
Used Ahrefs to analyse the top 10 ranking articles — identified content gaps (most skipped "Section 80CCD(1B)" entirely — a major tax-saving option).
02
Structured the article with the primary keyword in the title, URL slug, first 100 words, and 3 H2 subheadings.
03
Added an FAQ section targeting 6 "People Also Ask" questions to win featured snippets.
04
Built 4 internal links from existing high-authority pages on the site to pass PageRank to the new article.
