747 Case Study for a Major Crypto Exchange
This case study will take a look at the exceptional growth of a popular crypto-exchange platform through crypto SEO and high-quality backlinks.
The crypto exchange platform we started working with had a decent backlink profile and user base. However, they lacked the relevancy and ranking of their keywords on SERP to generate an even bigger pool of users and organic traffic.
Thanks to 747 Media House’s best link-building services, we made a massive difference in both aspects by earning them 6,528,286 total users in 2023! (According to Ahrefs and Google Analytics)
We have provided a detailed analysis of our approach to this project and how we resolved each challenge the brand faced. We have also highlighted our plan on a quarter-by-quarter basis so you can understand clearly how our foolproof strategies have brought consistent growth for our client.
What is Covered in the Case Study?
We have tried to be as thorough as possible. We have explained in detail how we created crypto backlinks that impacted the brand’s growth and how we approached the project to generate new users every month. Here are the components covered in the case study:
- Crypto-Platform’s Background
- Challenges Encountered
- Recommended Solutions
- Quarterly Plans
- Final Thoughts
- Customer Testimonial
We approached this project with hands-on experience in crypto SEO and backlinking knowledge.
The data-forward strategies we used were on-page SEO, off-page SEO, link building, internal linking, anchor placements, backlinking, monetization, keyword research, and content management to create a quarterly plan to increase the crypto platform’s yearly progression in terms of revenue, users, traffic, and keywords.
Brand Background
Our client, a crypto-centric exchange platform for various users, offers trading services. Though we cannot disclose the name due to confidentiality, the project is extensive, and their monthly users are decent from the get-go. The platform offers fair trading practices and is available in 190+ countries.
They offer trading and investing in more than 200 cryptocurrencies, some of which are:
- Bitcoin
- Tether USDT
- Cardano
- Polygon
- Tron
- Solana
- USDC
Not only can people invest in these and other cryptocurrencies, but the platform also rewards users by providing 10%+ APR annually for staking assets with it.
As the site is a marketplace, its primary revenue-generating model is by commissions. When we first started working with them, they were already known as a reputable site where users trade and invest in cryptocurrencies. But, the real issue they faced was ranking their keywords organically.
They lacked the proper knowledge to understand how to organically rank keywords on Google to get more people to their platform and broaden their reach in the market. They wanted to generate better and new rankings for keywords, a consistent user base across multiple channels, and support their growth for the long term.
Let’s examine the challenges this established crypto trading platform faced and how we identified, resolved, and ultimately changed its growth trajectory.
Challenges
Before this established crypto exchange platform availed services with 747 Media House, they faced many problems. Here are the main challenges that we analyzed during our initial discussion:
- Inadequate Organic Traffic
An established website should have much higher traffic than what our client was getting. This is particularly shocking for a crypto-centric site, as nowadays, it is a popular domain where many users across the world browse and engage regularly. The backlink profile and bad anchoring were revealed to be the main issues.
- Low Number of Active Users
This crypto exchange platform lacked the number of users it needed for a brand that is supposed to have an immense market reach. Not only were they getting fewer visitors monthly, but it was also less overall for their services. The brand had not engaged in any blogger outreach or media placements, which explained the problem well.
- Difficulty in Ranking Keywords
This is where the crypto trading platform suffered the most, and it is also why other problems arose simultaneously. Their internal pages did not rank in SERPs, and their homepage was also not in the top 10 placements. The absence of quality content, niche edits, relevant backlinks, and other off-page SEO problems were the main reasons.
- Competitive Market
The crypto domain is highly competitive. It has been popular since aggressive market developments, and it's not easy to keep up. Our client suffered the same fate, and the lack of a proper backlink profile, outreach, and high-quality link building services added to the downfall even more.
Solution
The solution wasn’t a simple one, but 747 Media House’s expertise is what this brand needed. We started by analyzing their backlinks and making sure they had niche-relevant ones. We also suggested investing heavily in blogger outreach and media placements to get the brand name out there more.
We contributed to a staggering 6,528,286 users monthly! This is a milestone that is hard to achieve even for other crypto brands, but our high-quality crypto backlinks have helped a lot in this case.
2022 Yearly Highlights

2022 First Quarter (January to March)
We first analyzed what SEO problems the site can refine and what key improvements it can make in its content. We mainly focused on their off-page crypto SEO and site content.
Link Building Strategy
According to our audit, we found gaps in their off-page link building, which we quickly improved by ordering high quality crypto backlinks. Niche-based backlinks were a missing component, which helped them bring relevancy and more authority to their site.
We made sure these links made it to their homepage first, then to other important internal pages. The site content also lacked long-tail and niche-specific keywords. Our team helped them implement these 2 strategies fast so Google could pick their site as the best in the crypto space.

Link Building Strategy
We continued with backlinking work by implementing better niche-edit links and making sure more pages got the authority they needed. Moreover, we shifted the focus to bringing in new organic traffic through these links.

Link Building Strategy
We began by improving SERP rankings on Google and other search engines by helping the brand implement long-tail, mid-tail, and other keywords into its content. This plan was to aid them in naturally bringing more organic traffic and authority.
After we sought out the content and refined it even more, we approached more niche-edit backlinks, as stopping them would make a huge dent in the progress. These backlinks strengthened their backlink profile and got them placed in the content of many high-authority sites.

Link Building Strategy
This quarter was the most important as media placements, blogger outreach, and backlinks can generate organic traffic for a longer time. This will make sure you safeguard your progress for months to come.

Link Building Strategy
The new quarter meant we needed to upscale their user base as much as possible. For that, we ensured their mid-tail and long-tail keywords were ranking and brought more organic traffic through blogger outreach.

Link Building Strategy
Our first approach was to check for old or broken links. This is quite common even when you order high-quality crypto backlinks. We quickly replenished them and continued to push more niche edits and crypto backlinks.
We also worked with our team to create even more tier 2 and tier 1 backlinks that would support the backlink profile for the future. We maintained our link building strategy and saw that internal linking, guest post blogging, and outreach were upheld.

Final Thoughts
Our link-building strategy for the established crypto exchange platform made it into a renowned brand for crypto trading in just two years.

Increase in Organic Traffic
After carrying out the best possible keyword research, ranking, and optimization, we landed an increase in organic traffic. As Google kept ranking the various pages and the homepage on SERP, it automatically gave our traffic a boost it desperately needed. The traffic saw an increase of 39.79307086% as compared to 2022.
Increase in No of Users
The high quality blogger outreach and niche-friendly media placements helped us improve the number of users by 39.79% in 2023. We ensured that all our SEO practices helped the brand in the long run and maintained authority for as long as possible. This also improved the site’s relevancy in the crypto market.
Increase in No of Backlinks
We bought and ordered some of the best crypto backlinks, niche edits, and other links to help the brand achieve big numbers for 2023.
