Nutricost owned a deep Amazon catalog with strong customer trust. High-intent Google searches were flowing to competitors — we built the external signals that pushed top-slot rankings across the most profitable supplement categories on the internet.

+The Challenge
Deep Amazon catalog. Untapped Google demand.
Nutricost had earned real customer trust on Amazon — with strong reviews, subscribe-and-save velocity, and a 400+ SKU catalog. But the most valuable buyer intent happens on Google, before shoppers ever reach Amazon.
Competitors were spending 6-figure monthly Google Ads budgets to capture keywords Nutricost could own organically. Supplement SERPs reward earned editorial signals — not paid shortcuts.
The Approach · Three Layers
Authority backlinks
Weekly editorial placements from nutrition publications and independent review sites — scoped to the specific product-ingredient keyword we wanted to rank. No PBNs.
Engagement seeding
Real community participation across Reddit, Quora, and niche supplement forums. Helpful Content signals rewarded the increased post-click engagement.
Editorial PR
Listicle placements in “best nitric oxide” / “best ashwagandha” category roundups — which compounded over time as Nutricost appeared in more “best of” lists across the category.

Big logistics deals take 6–18 months to close. We ranked Mina on the questions procurement teams actually ask in month nine — when the vendor list gets cut from six to three — and drove a 4× lift in RFP influence.

+The Challenge
Big logistics deals take a year to close.
The decision-makers — ops, finance, IT, procurement — spend 6–18 months evaluating before they sign anything.
Most SEO tries to rank B2B companies on “what is a 3PL” and calls it a win. That’s the wrong game. If your site isn’t answering the real questions they’re asking in the final review, you don’t make the shortlist.
The Approach · Three Layers
Answer the real questions
Replaced beginner content with deep answers on the systems they actually use — inventory platforms, shipping tech, peak-season capacity. Every piece written to be forwarded inside a big company.
Get featured where they read
Editorial placements in FreightWaves, Supply Chain Dive, and Transport Topics — the publications procurement teams already trust.
Track what actually closes
Wired SEO into their Salesforce. The team could see which content pieces appeared in deals that closed — not just traffic.
#53 to #1 in under 12 months.
Monos outranked 15-year incumbents across 12 core category keywords (~1.5M monthly searches), held through the Dec 2024 Core Update, and expanded into Canada — all on a challenger-brand budget.

+The Challenge
Compress a decade of incumbent authority into 12 months.
Samsonite, Away, Tumi, Calpak — the luggage SERP was owned by brands with 10+ years of cumulative backlink profiles. Monos had product and brand equity but no organic share.
Category was also weather-sensitive, news-sensitive (Netflix Carry-On released mid-window), and algorithm-sensitive — the December 2024 Google Core Update hit mid-program.
The Approach · Three Layers
Volume-weighted authority
“Carry on” (125K/mo) and “suitcase” (96K/mo) got the heaviest backlink cadence. Shipping rhythm matched to competitor density per keyword.
Parallel Canada launch
Month 6: smaller CA budget, localized content, Canadian backlinks. Canada caught up to US trajectory in three months.
Core-update resilience
Shipped “unbiased review” signal content during Dec 2024. Held or recovered across the target set in a category where many DTC brands lost significant ground.
