Introduction
In a world of cutthroat competition, where clicks count, old-world industries like steel production are embracing digitalization. Over the past year, one of India’s leading steel manufacturing companies partnered with TechIBO to strengthen its online visibility and expand its digital footprint.
The Result
From just a single-click and a mere 170 impression journey to a magnificent 95 clicks and 7,859 impressions in one day, attaining a cumulative total impression of 1.39 million and organic clicks of 14,100 in a period of 12 months.
This is a case study of why the strategic SEO model of TechIBO, content marketing offerings, and data-driven strategy enabled a legacy steel producing company to become a digitally well-known brand in their sector.
The Challenge
The steel production firm long enjoyed great offline brand perception, but it did not exist online. While it provided top-of-the-line steel grades, precise technical specificity, and consistency, it was not getting proper website traffic or ranking for prominent search terms including “types of steel grades”, “steel composition chart”, or “industrial steel guide.”
This is how the original problems were:
- Low organic visibility: Limited organic exposure: The site did not feature much in Google search results.
- No keyword ranking: No ranking for keywords related to trade.
- Outdated content:in space-old content that is not SEO-optimized.
- Poor user engagement: Inadequate user interaction due to technological issues and poorly managed information architecture.
- Limited trust signals: Fewer trust signals, no blog or educational content that would help build credibility in the metals sector.
The organization understood that they had decades of technical experience, but it was not immediately evident online. They needed a reliable online partner to make their website a knowledge portal — a site that educated end-users as well as a top of search engine results page performer. That is when TechIBO intervened.
The Strategy
The TechIBO began with a full digital audit and SEO opportunity assessment. The experts identified poor content structure, keyword potential, and missing technical fundamentals that hindered natural progression. Out of that, a multi-phase SEO strategy was implemented, including technical optimization, content development, and performance monitoring.
SEO Optimization Technically
Before boosting visibility, the foundation had to be established. TechIBO conducted a rigorous technical SEO cleaning:
• Fixed meta tags, title structure, and canonical issues.
• Faster website load time and mobile friendliness.
• Published and submitted XML sitemaps and robots.txt for improved crawlability.
• Better structured data markup in order for Google to comprehend product and content structure.
Within some weeks, the site experienced enhanced indexation and first-time Google Search Console impressions.
Keyword Strategy and On-Page Optimization
After that, it established a specially designed keyword environment for both transactional and information-based intent.
• Core keyword groups were:
• Steel production process
• Type of steel grades
• Steel grade chart
• Carbon steel compared with alloy steel
• Industrial steel guide
• Degree of high-t
There was a designated page for assigned keywords, thus content would align with searcher intent. On-page optimization consisted of:
• Meta descriptions that pass SEO and H1–H3.
• Blog and product page inner linkings.
• Keyword density optimization without overstuffing
• Image description with descriptive terms of steel.
This strategy enabled Google to distinctly understand the website’s niche relevance along with better content findability.
Content Revamp and Blogging
Understanding that current B2B buyers seek diligently before contacting, TechIBO created an educational content campaign around high-value keyword.
Among the most influential of these was the “Steel Grades Explained with Chart Guide” — an in-depth, SEO-friendly blog that boiled down intricate metallurgical data for engineers as well as purchasers.
This one page was a foundation of organic traffic, ranking in a list of high-volume keywords.
The content strategy comprised nearly,
• Detailed blog articles summarizing categories, characteristics, and applications of steel in industries.
• Articles with Comparison (e.g., Stainless Steel vs Carbon Steel).
• Interactive charts and images that enhanced time of engagement.
• Longer answers for information-seeking questions.
The content of TechIBO turned the site from a product catalog into a manufacturer- and engineer-verified technical knowledge base as well as one validated by procurement managers.
Off-Page SEO and Authority Construction
TechIBO was aware that industrial niches need authority. The off-page SEO strategy was based on creating backlinks from authoritative industry references and technical websites.
• Authored articles for metallurgical and engineering websites.
• Listed in directories of trade and B2B.
• Better social signals with LinkedIn and engineer community outreach.
This established a web of online trust, substantiating the credibility of the company’s brand.
Ongoing Monitoring and Data-Inspired Adjustments
The team of TechIBO also closely tracked statistics with Google Search Console and Google Analytics and adjusted strategies with user actions and keyword trends.
Key performance monitoring comprised:
• Daily impression and clicks
• Average position and CTR
• Best-performing pages and queries
• Engagement time per session
This data-driven iteration prevented the course of development from becoming erratic or unmeasurable.
