Smashing e-commerce growth goals with award-winning journalistic outreach
SEO Strategy
TileCloud is Australia’s leading online tile brand, shaking up the renovation industry with a hassle-free, design-led buying experience.
Challenge
After analysing the sector and diagnosing a lack of authority and EEAT (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness and Trustworthiness) for TileCloud, we knew we needed a PR campaign that could generate awareness and build authority.
Our goals were to secure high-quality backlinks from top-tier publications, feature TileCloud in a range of specialised decor publications, increase their domain authority and build visibility with the target audience.
We saw the untapped potential, the stories waiting to be told and the avenues yet to be explored. But we also recognised TileCloud’s apprehension towards the unfamiliar world of PR.
Our Solution
We combined the power of PR with the tangible metrics of SEO — a domain TileCloud was well-versed in and already valued. Our strategy was to create a journalistic outreach campaign using two of TileCloud’s founders to build high EEAT author personas across as many high-authority, high-relevance avenues as possible. This would allow us to generate link authority and higher EEAT scores for TileCloud and its founders as authors. We could also leverage them to boost existing content by working on onsite EEAT signals.
