Can I Help You Get More Sign-Ups From Organic Search?
If you’d like to gain more visibility in search engines for your tech company, and then turn all that search traffic into leads and sales, then this is the best web page you’d visit today!
Hi, I’m Oludami Yomi-Alliyu, and I’m a direct-response content marketing specialist.
Tech companies often create content targeted at prospects who are in buying mode and doing research, including comparing competitors, to help them make a purchase decision.
Most times, however, these pieces of content get lost beneath the sea of content already out there and end up having no impact whatsoever on the company’s bottom line.
One proven way to make your company visible in the search engines, even for highly competitive keywords, is to use skyscraper articles.
A skyscraper article is a type of long-form content that is designed to be comprehensive, in-depth, and highly informative.
The term “skyscraper” is used metaphorically to emphasize the towering height of the article in terms of both its quality and quantity of information.
I’ve been able to successfully rank my clients high for certain keywords, both at the top, middle and bottom of the sales funnel – awareness, consideration and conversion stages – using skyscraper articles.
And here is the 6-step framework I follow:
- Analyze top search engine results for target keyword.
- Identify their strengths and weaknesses, and what makes them rank high, in terms of content.
- Make a skeleton outline of my own article based on the analysis, to incorporate their strengths and improve on their weaknesses and also to make sure all relevant points are included.
- Use skeleton outline to create my own *original* skyscraper article, while also ensuring it delivers on the searcher intent.
- Optimize the skyscraper article for search engines.
- For bottom-of-funnel content, also optimize it for conversion (leads, sales, etc.)
To help a tech company rank high for their competitor comparison, for example, I can create an article version of their comparison page.
It’s proven over and over again: a long-form comparison article will always outrank a typical comparison page.
It makes sense if you think about it: Search engines know that comparison pages aim to sell a product or service, but articles generally are used to give quality information – value for the reader.
A quick case study…
One company I’ve done this for over and over again, and have gotten great results for, is SweetProcess.
SweetProcess is a process management software organizations use to document and manage their policies, procedures and processes.
Among other things, it can also be used to manage tasks and create knowledge bases.
This gives us a whole lot of keywords and keyphrases to compete for.
No thanks to bigger competitors, review sites, big blogs, affiliate marketers, etc. however, it can be hard to rank high in the search engines for their most desirable and most important keywords/keyphrases (like “process management software”). But we’ve been able to rank high for a whole lot of other profitable keywords through tons of skyscraper articles.
In the past, we focused on keywords at the top of the funnel, like “how to write a policy”, just to create awareness for their policy creation and management platform, and then try to take the reader to the middle of the funnel (convert them into leads) by offering them something for free – like templates.
More recently, however, we’ve been focusing more on keywords at the bottom of the funnel – searches that show some buying intention – like “processkit alternatives,” for example, just to capture traffic looking for a better option to ProcessKit.
We then position ourselves as the ultimate and ideal alternative they are looking for.
And we’ve been enjoying a lot of search engine success with that. Not only are we ranking high for those keywords/phrases, the organic search traffic we get from them are having impact on the company’s bottom line, in the form of leads and sales.
For example, the SEMRush data below shows that for the week of May 31 – June 6, 2023, SweetProcess ranked in the top-10 results for 53 keywords…26 of which are in the top-3 results.
Some of the keywords I helped them rank for in the top-3 spots are:
- processkit alternatives (#1)
- how to write a policy (#2)
- op central alternatives (#2)
A quick search for the keyphrase “processkit alternatives” shows SweetProcess at #1, enjoying the highly-coveted “featured snippets” spot, over giant, popular sites like G2, Capterra, Remote Tools and ProductHunt (as at when writing this).
In the SEMRush report, SweetProcess is seen also ranking high for competitive keywords other than competitor alternatives and comparisons.
A great example is ranking #3 for the keyphrase “bank policies and procedures” only behind LexisNexis and BankPolicies.com (featured snippet), out of 896,000,000 results.
This is what skyscraper articles can do for your organization, and needless to say, I’ve mastered the fine art of crafting this unique content type – including how to make it impact your organization’s bottom line.
Here are a few good skyscraper article samples:
- SharePoint Alternatives (not yet published)
- How to Write a Policy
- African Black Soap
