We worked with a digital greeting card company for one year to strengthen its backlink profile and increase organic visibility around some of the most popular occasions people search for greeting cards.
With celebrations such as birthdays, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, anniversaries, weddings, and other special occasions driving consistent search demand, the focus was on finding relevant backlink opportunities that could connect the brand with audiences actively interested in celebrations and gifting.
During the period, organic traffic increased from 154,258 to 222,287 — a 44% increase.
1. Focused on Celebration and Gifting Websites
Relevance was a key priority when selecting backlink opportunities.
Rather than focusing only on general websites, the strategy targeted publishers covering topics such as:
- Birthdays and birthday ideas
- Mother’s Day
- Father’s Day
- Anniversaries
- Weddings and relationships
- Gifts and celebrations
- Lifestyle and family
- Seasonal occasions
This helped create backlink placements that naturally aligned with the company’s products and the occasions its customers care about.
2. Prioritized Relevant Publishers With Real Traffic
The goal wasn’t simply to collect backlinks. The focus was on finding publishers with relevant content and established organic visibility.
Potential placements were evaluated based on factors such as niche relevance, organic traffic, website quality, and backlink metrics.
This made it easier to identify opportunities that could provide both SEO value and exposure to audiences interested in celebrations and gifting.
3. Link Insertions
Link insertions were one of the main backlink types used.
Instead of creating an entirely new article for every placement, relevant existing content was identified where a contextual link to the greeting card website could fit naturally.
For example, articles about birthday ideas, anniversary celebrations, Mother’s Day gifts, or ways to celebrate special occasions could provide natural opportunities for relevant links.
This approach helped secure backlinks within content that was already published and potentially attracting organic visitors.
4. Guest Posts
Guest posts provided another way to build relevant backlinks while contributing useful content to publishers.
Topics were centered around celebrations, gifting, relationships, special occasions, and event ideas, allowing backlinks to be incorporated naturally within useful articles.
Combining guest posts with link insertions created a broader mix of backlink placements across relevant websites.
