The challenge

When we started with Pzizz, the problem was not traffic volume, it was traffic quality. The site pulled in plenty of visitors, but the conversion rate would not move, a sign the audience was wrong.

Our SEO audit confirmed it. Pzizz was ranking for generic sleep topics like "fabrics for bedding," "most comfortable mattresses," and "sleeping pills." People reading that content were not looking to download a sleep app, so they never converted. We needed to shift the site toward keywords that put the app in front of people actively hunting for one. Read more about how we approach this in our B2B SaaS SEO services.

What we did

Keyword research

Our Head of SEO analyzed the site with Ahrefs to find keywords that could drive bottom-funnel traffic. Keywords tied to iPhone apps stood out: high intent, real search volume, and relatively easy to rank for. That became the core of the SEO strategy.

Bottom-funnel content

We built listicles comparing the apps people were already searching for, optimized for terms like "best sleep apps," "top meditation apps," and "compare sleep apps." That put Pzizz in front of users actively evaluating options and positioned the brand as a trusted source, which lifted conversion rates and installs.

Sticky download banner

Traffic only matters if it installs the app. We added a sticky banner that stays fixed on the page so the download call-to-action is always in view. For Pzizz's mobile audience, that kept the install button within reach instead of buried in the content, and it drove installs directly. This kind of conversion work pairs closely with our technical SEO.

Results

Measured over the six-month engagement:

App installs

• The sticky banner alone drove roughly 150 to 200 installs per month, and that is likely an underestimate since not everyone clicks the exact tracked links.
• We estimate around 450 people landed on the blog, moved to the Pzizz homepage, and installed the app, adding another 150 installs at a potential 30% conversion rate.
• Install volume from blog SEO traffic grew roughly 30x in under four months from the start of the project, which is why we were confident SEO could become a profitable channel with more content and pages.

Organic traffic

• Organic traffic increased 227%, from 5,653 to 18,523.
  
  

  

Organic keywords

• Keyword rankings in positions 1 to 3 increased from 76 to 120.
  
  

  

• First-page keyword rankings rose from 343 to 980.
  
  

  

• Keyword rankings in positions 11 to 20 went from 488 to 1,697.
  
  

  

Key takeaways

1. High traffic is worthless if it is the wrong traffic. Pzizz ranked well before we arrived, but for generic sleep terms that never converted. Fixing the intent behind the keywords, not the volume, is what moved installs. This is the core of good SEO.
2. Bottom-funnel content converts because it meets people at the moment they are choosing. Comparison listicles built around "best sleep apps for iPhone" put Pzizz in front of buyers, not browsers.
3. Rankings only pay off when the page is built to convert. Pairing content with a persistent install banner turned readers into installs and made SEO a channel worth scaling.

If you run a SaaS or app business and your traffic is not turning into installs or revenue, book a call and we will show you where the intent is leaking.
