Positions are where the company’s website appears in Google’s results (1 = top).

The goal

The company had a strong product but was competing with established international software brands for attention. The goal was to be the first result a property manager sees when searching for this kind of software, and to show up wherever buyers research and compare tools.

What we did

  • Keyword research: mapped what property managers and landlords actually type when looking for software, from category searches to everyday questions
  • Website optimization: page titles, headings, structure, internal links and technical fixes so Google understands exactly what the product does and for whom
  • Keyword-optimized articles: a series of articles answering the questions buyers ask before choosing a tool, each built around a specific search
  • Software review sites: complete profiles on the major software review and comparison platforms, which rank on Google themselves and feed AI assistants
  • Backlinks: links from relevant industry and business websites, to build the authority needed to outrank bigger brands

Why it matters for software companies

B2B buyers research online long before they talk to sales. They search Google, read comparison sites and increasingly ask ChatGPT or Perplexity which tool to choose. A company that ranks first and is listed where buyers compare gets on the shortlist; the others don’t.

Rankings built on solid foundations also last. Years after the work, this company still holds the top spots, bringing in leads month after month without paying for each click.

Frequently asked questions

How long did it take to reach #1?

About 3 months from the start of the work, for the company’s main category search. The rankings then held for years, because the work focused on solid foundations rather than shortcuts.

Why is the company not named?

Client work stays confidential in writing. I share the company, the screenshots and the details on a call.

Does this work for other kinds of software?

Yes. The same approach works for any B2B software sold online: HR and payroll, accounting and invoicing, restaurant and retail systems, clinic software, logistics and more. It works in English and Arabic, across the Gulf, the Levant and beyond.
