The brief
Inpay is a global cross-border payments provider. They wanted to substantially increase their visibility for valuable international payment searches and build a stronger organic presence around the topics most closely connected to their services.
Our goal was to create a search-led structure capable of capturing both commercial and informational demand, while strengthening Inpay’s authority in a highly competitive financial market.
The work
Researched how businesses and consumers searched around international payments, then mapped those searches into clear keyword clusters based on intent.
Assigned distinct keyword themes to priority landing pages and rewrote content to give each page a clear purpose, reducing cannibalisation and improving their individual ranking potential.
Created a highly targeted informational content hub around longer-tail payment queries, answering common questions while bringing relevant users into the site earlier in their search.
Improved crawlability and technical performance through work including XML sitemaps, robots.txt, Core Web Vitals and structured data.
Continually refined landing pages, content and technical elements as ranking and traffic data revealed new opportunities for growth.
Positioned Inpay as an expert in cross-border payments through online PR, securing authoritative editorial coverage and backlinks to strengthen the site’s wider search authority.
