How a DeFi Protocol Increased Organic Traffic by 287%

Client: A mid-sized DeFi protocol offering lending and staking services

Main Challenge: Low visibility in search results despite having a solid product

The client told us: "We tried two other SEO companies before LBL. The difference is LBL actually showed us what they were doing and why. Each month our traffic grew, and we could see exactly why it was happening."

SEO Audit: What We Found

Our SEO audit showed three main issues:

  1. Site structure made it hard for search engines to find important pages
  2. Content didn't match user search intent at all
  3. Tons of technical errors

  • Ranked for 143 keywords in top 100
