The Challenge

Invisible globally — Landingi was primarily visible only in Poland, missing the massive US and international markets
Massive competitor advantage — Unbounce has 7x more referring domains, a huge backlink moat
AI disruption — Landing page industry heavily impacted by AI tools, threatening core business
80-90% generic traffic dependency — Unlike competitors with strong brand search, Landingi needed to win on generic keywords (much harder)

Key Insight: Unbounce has 202K monthly organic traffic in traditional Google Search — but we’re beating them in AI visibility. This proves that LLM traffic requires different optimization strategies than classic SEO, and we need to build balance between both channels.

What We Implemented

1) Topical Maps & Content Architecture

Built comprehensive topical maps for: Landing Pages (primary, monetization-focused), SEO, Lead Generation, Digital Marketing, Digital Advertising, Social Media Marketing, PPC
Implemented topical internal linking with secondary menus — each topic cluster has navigation linking to the most important pages within that category
Created information retrieval optimized content — structured for both search engines and AI language models

2) Product Page Optimization

Optimized product pages for high-intent queries like “AI landing page”, “free landing page templates”, “free landing page builder”
Focused on product-led SEO — connecting informational content to monetization paths

3) International Expansion (8 Languages)

Translated site to: Spanish, German, French, Danish, Italian, Polish, and Portuguese
Strategic advantage: If Google has to translate a page itself, that’s a cost. We reduced Google’s processing cost, giving us preference over English-only competitors in these markets
Result: Global visibility and significant customer acquisition from US and international markets

4) E-E-A-T & UX Improvements

Built author authority with detailed author bios connecting writers topically to their expertise areas
Redesigned blog page templates to be both search-engine friendly and UX-optimized — because combining both factors delivers the best results
Fixed all Search Console errors — practically zeroed out 404s and technical issues

Key Takeaways

What Made This Project Special

AI-first strategy: We optimized for LLM visibility alongside traditional SEO — future-proofing the brand
Beat the backlink disadvantage: Competed against a player with 7x more referring domains through superior content strategy
Global expansion: Transformed a Poland-only brand into a global player with US market traction
Generic traffic success: Built 80-90% generic traffic (no brand search crutch) — the hardest way to grow
Business survival: In an industry heavily disrupted by AI, these SEO results may have saved the company from devastating losses

The biggest success here is taking a site that was invisible internationally and making it visible to the entire world — resulting in significant customer acquisition from markets outside Poland, especially the United States.
