Yagacalls - Case Study
The Problem
Yagacalls needed to establish strong organic visibility to serve its growing community of 3,500+ investors effectively. The platform required ranking for trading signal keywords, market analysis terms, financial education content, and platform-specific searches. Traditional SEO approaches weren't sufficient—we needed a comprehensive framework that could compete with established financial platforms. The challenge involved implementing a 4-layer SEO framework (SXO, AIO, GEO, AEO) while maintaining platform performance and user experience. The system needed to support AI-powered content generation, structured data markup for answer engines, geographic optimization for local searches, and comprehensive technical SEO implementation. Additionally, the custom CMS needed built-in SEO features, performance monitoring for Core Web Vitals, and analytics integration to track SEO effectiveness. The platform also required content optimization for voice search and featured snippets.
Key Challenges:
- •Building custom CMS from scratch
- •Implementing 4-layer SEO framework
- •AI content generation integration
- •Performance optimization
- •Structured data markup implementation
- •Answer engine optimization
