ATS Client: How We Helped an ATS Client Recover From Toxic Backlinks and SEO

Pearl Lemon helped a leading ATS software comparison service company, which had an in-house SEO team, improve their backlinking strategy. We acquired several hundred high-quality links, removed several hundred bad links, and improved their search engine rankings and credibility.

The challenge

The client faced a highly competitive HR software industry and struggled with effective link building. They also needed to remove old, bad links from a previous ill-judged effort that involved techniques Google frowns upon, which were adversely affecting their website performance and search engine rankings.

What we did

We conducted a comprehensive content audit to identify content gaps and created high-quality content like white papers, blog posts, and infographics. We then engaged in personalized manual outreach to website owners and bloggers in the HR and recruitment industries, offering valuable content in exchange for links, and promoted content on social media. Crucially, we performed a comprehensive backlink audit, used Google Search Console to identify toxic backlinks, engaged in manual outreach to request removal, and uploaded disavow files for unremovable links.

The results

We acquired several hundred high-quality links from authoritative and relevant websites in the HR and recruitment industries. Our client's search engine rankings improved significantly, moving up several positions for their target keywords, and their domain authority increased. Additionally, we removed several hundred bad links that were harming their domain authority, leading to increased organic traffic and engagement.
