Success story Teatro Renaissance: how they reached 1.3 million impressions on Google and 100 thousand organic hits in 1 year of the project

The city of São Paulo is known for its great cultural diversity. From the center to the outskirts distributed in its four corners, every day an event takes place and is publicized through digital media. With so many interesting things being done in the capital, competition for the top positions on Google is strong. And it’s even more intense when it comes to organic ranking.

In today's case, we'll talk a little about how we helped Teatro Renaissance reach 1.3 million impressions on Google and reach 100,000 organic hits in one year.

A little about the Renaissance Theater

The Renaissance Theater was born in 1999 and, since its inception, has put on great performances, pleasing the most varied audiences with its drama, romance, adventure, comedy and stand-up plays.

As a result, it pleases those who have frequented the place for years while constantly renewing its audience, bringing shows by young talents.

Reconstruction of the site was essential for the evolution of metrics on Google

The high quality of the Renaissance Theater's attractions is undeniable. Month after month, the place announces big names of actors and comedians acclaimed throughout the country. To give you an idea, last year there were presentations by Lilia Cabral, Marcos Caruso, Eliane Giardini, Juca de Oliveira, Rosi Campos, Wilson de Santos, Yuri Marçal, Igor Guimarães, Renato Albani, Murilo Couto, Bruna Louise, among many others. However, even with all these stars, your website ended up losing position in Google results.

At the beginning of 2022, then, we began to outline strategies to make the Renaissance Theater website more relevant to the search engine, and rebuilding the website was fundamental to this.

In addition to modernizing the layout, a change in structure was very important. Until then, it had a single page bringing together all the information.

With this, we worked on developing individual pages for each subject – institutional, programming, old programming, benefits, frequently asked questions and audience map. The breakdown of themes brought more density to the site, a better experience for the user, who can now more easily locate what they are looking for and the possibility of individual ranking of shows, which are open for sale and those that have already taken place, thus creating a kind of history of those who have performed there.

In this second year of partnership, we are implementing a blog to strengthen the site's organic ranking with more internal pages and content of interest to your audience.

Inovar Ambiental success story: how they had 1.6 million impressions on Google and 35 thousand organic hits in the last 12 months

Billions of searches are performed each day on Google. Some studies even point out that the search engine processes more than 8.5 billion searches daily. At the same time, a huge volume of content is distributed among its numerous pages. By being aware of these dimensions, it seems impossible to attract a significant number of users to your site by Google in an organic way. It seems, because it is not.

In our today's content, we'll explain how we helped Inovar Ambiental, a B2B company that provides services to an extremely niche audience, to achieve more than 1.5 million impressions and 35 thousand organic hits on Google in one year.

About Inovar Ambiental

Inovar Ambiental is a B2B company, which was born in 2013 with the proposal to bring industrial waste management solutions. All this combined with sustainable practices and 360º support for the customer, providing adequate packaging for disposal, signaling devices, a concise plan for reducing and reusing waste, and strengthening practices, such as the circular economy.

Currently, Inovar Ambiental has the infrastructure to carry out the treatment of the most varied types of waste, applying techniques respected all over the world for their sustainable value and already has more than 13 tons of by-products correctly disposed of.

What were the brand's concerns?    

Before they became our customers, Inovar Ambiental's communication was carried out on time and by independent professionals who could meet demands. As a consequence, naturally, there was no presence of short, medium and long term strategies for the company.

When looking for our agency, the director of Inovar Ambiental, Rafael Motta, expressed the desire to have at his side a single partner focused on taking care of all the communication of his company, with a 360º view.

In this way, it would achieve not only continuous work, but also care for the preservation of the brand's identity, which would improve the perception of third parties about Inovar Ambiental, transmitting more seriousness and professionalism.

Result of long-term work

The results of impressions and organic hits observed today on the Inovar Ambiental website are the result not only of work that began in 2015, when it became our client, but also of weekly publications in the news system, choice of relevant topics for prospects and company's clients, among other SEO strategies that "convince" Google's algorithms to interpret the site as relevant.

Unlike a search engine ad that evaporates when payment is discontinued, the organic result is perennial and tends to gain strength over time, when there is a robust content strategy behind it, with the application of up-to-date SEO practices.

Finally, it is worth mentioning that this is a complementary plan to investments in Google Ads. We always point out to the client that the ideal is to combine SEO with paid campaigns, so that, as the organic gains strength, it is possible to gradually reduce the amounts in Ads and, then, the brand reaches the point of get comfortable with forgoing campaigns.

Strengthen your brand's digital presence by combining SEO and Google Ads strategies

Being present on Google can mean total lead capture or survival for many companies. As a result, many managers only consider the platform's paid strategy, Google Ads, renouncing the possibility of working on the search engine optimization (SEO), which concerns organic ranking. It is a fact that this is a strategic work choice. However, what digital marketing experts recommend is the combination of SEO and Google Ads, to strengthen the brand's presence in the largest search engine results in the world.

Google Ads is directly related to short-term performance improvement. The logic is simple, as soon as the investment is completed, the ad is catapulted to the first results. There are surveys that point out that 75% of users never get past the first page of Google after a search. That is, occupying the top positions in the search engine automatically puts your brand in front of hundreds or thousands of competitors.

Still with regard to Ads, it is worth pointing out that it is not enough just to have ads in a privileged position on Google. It is also necessary to plan keywords, mapping, target audience, among other elements that will contribute to the achievement of qualified leads for the company. After all, what's the point of being in the top position on Google if it's being shown to a person who has nothing to do with my brand's persona?

If Google Ads takes my brand to the top of the search engine, what's the point of using SEO strategies?

SEO e Google Ads

This is a question that makes many brands disregard the possibility of working with SEO, since, with Ads, disclosure needs are met immediately. However, there is a condition for this to happen, the financial maintenance of the campaigns periodically. In other words, when the brand stops paying, it disappears from the search engine as quickly as it appeared.

In this way, SEO emerges as a complementary strategy insofar as it takes the company's name to the first results organically, in the medium and long term, depending on the segment. Therefore, as you gain visibility and brand awareness – people's level of familiarity with the product or service – with ads, it is important to create content for the site, to strengthen its organic performance. Thus, if it is necessary to discontinue the ads, there are two great advantages outlined here: 1 – Your brand does not completely disappear from Google. 2 – Users will click on its results because they will be familiar with the company's name, a strategy worked on over months or years of investments in ads.

Content marketing: understand why it is a relationship strategy

Currently, experience and interactivity are essential points in companies' digital marketing strategies. More than communicating correctly, it is necessary to learn how to relate to the public, encouraging the multiplication of the message you want to convey.

Read too: Learn why it is important to invest in a digital marketing strategy, such as SEO

That's because, the information age has changed the way people communicate. Brands attentive to the new market demand have behaved like people, in an accessible, kind, but also vulnerable way, becoming an integral part of the consumer's lifestyle. To create this relationship, a lot of dialogue is needed, and content plays a fundamental role in this dynamic between brand and consumer.

This approach is intended to create, select, distribute and amplify through interesting, relevant and useful messages for a strategically defined audience. In addition, another detail that makes all the difference when communicating is loading the content with the brand identity, creating narratives – storytellings – that connect.

To get an idea of the importance of content marketing, according to data from Content Trends, 73% of Brazilian companies already adopt this methodology in their customer acquisition strategy and 61.8% of those that do not yet use it intend to adopt it soon.

Content strategy planning

Definition of Personas

The concept of persona is totally different from target audience. While the target audience is based on a description of a demographic group you're looking to target, the persona is a description of your ideal customer. The idea is to identify common traits among them that should be repeated in future customers.

Contents

The goal is to create interesting content that will make the reader (prospect or customer) return to your site often and become familiar with your brand. Some examples of content that can be produced are blog posts, articles, materials, videos, video lessons, rich content, podcasts, ebooks, whitepapers, infographics, webinars, testimonials and customer cases.

Channels

One of the most important points is choosing which customer acquisition channels to invest in. That is, where you will distribute your content. The main acquisition channels that currently exist are blogs, ads, social networks, email, sponsored posts, among other resources.

Content marketing combined with SEO brings long-term results

One of the tools used in this strategy is the production of informative content using SEO (Search Engine Optimization) techniques, which help the site rank in search engines such as Google. That is, a text not focused on selling services, but on answering questions or giving tips, thus transmitting messages of value to both loyal customers and potential customers and, consequently, winning them over.

The result time of an efficient SEO varies from company to company, given that factors such as location, whether it is a local business or not, market in which it operates, choice of keywords, content size and format, review, scanability and optimization for search engines influence the period of results.

However, it is also worth mentioning that the tool works cumulatively, that is, the six-month ranking will be much weaker compared to that of a page that has been online for a year. For this, some internal cases were selected to demonstrate how this strategy works organically over time.

Cases Alliance Communication

In the first case, it is a laundry specialized in cleaning industrial uniforms in the state of São Paulo. In the graph, it is possible to check the increasing number of times that a company page appeared on Google for a person between the months of February and November 2019, thus reaching the gross result of 38.7 thousand impressions and almost 1,300 organic hits.

The second image accounts for a total of 102,000 impressions in a year and almost four thousand hits. In this case, it is a group specialized in the management of industrial waste and environmental studies services in the Rio-São Paulo axis.

An interesting parallel to make is with this other company that operates in the same waste market, with the difference of focusing its services on the region of Belo Horizonte (MG) and having been generating content with SEO for three years. Tempo guaranteed more than half a million total impressions, a result five and a half times greater than the previous case. Totaling more than 31,000 organic hits.

Finally, in this case there are a total of 2.02 million page impressions, totaling more than 115 thousand accesses to the website of this company that has been investing in content marketing for six years. The company is an e-commerce company in São Paulo specialized in selling oranges with the concept farm to table.

According to SEO Trends, one of the largest sources of data on the subject, companies that invest in the strategy and conquer a space on the first page of Google get 13 times more visitors and five times more customers compared to those that do not use SEO.

More benefits of Content Marketing

  • Increases your website traffic;
  • Generates brand awareness;
  • Increases engagement with the brand;
  • Educates the market;
  • Gain authority on the subject;
  • Influences the purchase decision;
  • Generate sales;
  • Boosts lead generation;
  • Increases lifetime value (LTV);
  • Increases customer engagement;
  • Reduces Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC).

Although this strategy can bring very good results for the company, it is worth mentioning that the text is directed to people who have critical opinions and not to a search engine. Therefore, do your best to reconcile a good user experience with Google ranking, always prioritizing the reader who will consume the content.
