How DevRev Achieved 127% Organic Traffic Growth: A Case Study with PipeRocket

The challenge

Organic was a fraction of where it needed to be. The team had aggressive growth targets and a strong product, but the search footprint wasn’t matching the brand’s ambition.

Five specific issues were holding organic back:

• Stagnant website traffic — no meaningful growth in organic visitors.
• Content gaps — the site lacked the relevant, engaging content needed to drive traffic.
• AI-generated content without SEO strategy — much of the existing content was AI-written, but without the optimisation or strategic planning needed to actually rank.
• Ineffective keyword strategy — the missing link behind the stagnant traffic: no strong keyword plan tying content to demand.
• No topical authority — the combination of the above meant the site had never built real authority in its category, the core driver of organic growth.

Our approach

Six months. Topical authority programme around DevRev’s three buyer personas (product, support, CRM), backed by BOFU comparison pages targeting the specific incumbents DevRev was displacing — built out in four phases.

Phase 1 — Initial discovery and planning

We started with a full SEO content audit to identify keyword and content-planning gaps, underperforming pages, and audience-targeting misalignment. From there, we ran dedicated keyword research on DevRev’s core offering — customer support software — and built a roadmap with measurable milestones to track against.

Phase 2 — Content planning and implementation

With the keyword research in hand, we built a content plan around detailed briefs, re-optimising existing content to close the gaps we’d found. Meta titles, descriptions, and headers were optimised for high-priority pages, structured data and schema were added for rich snippets, and new BOFU pages were built specifically around comparison and solution-oriented queries.

Phase 3 — Authority building through content expansion

We leveraged the highest-priority, highest-volume, intent-based keywords to expand the content footprint, then interlinked everything to make discovery easier and drive wider engagement.

Phase 4 — Conversion optimization

In the final phase, BOFU pages were enhanced with lead magnets, sharper offers, and actionable CTAs — refined continuously against performance data and user behaviour.

The results

Within six months of the phased strategy, results exceeded expectations. Organic traffic grew 127% in six months — better than doubling — and crucially, the new traffic was concentrated in BOFU and high-intent mid-funnel pages, not just informational top-of-funnel content.

Breaking the headline number down: US organic traffic — DevRev’s primary target market — grew 122%, blog traffic surged 226%, and the site’s domain authority reached a score of 70, with relevant pages achieving higher first-page Google rankings across the board.
