Case Study

About Bytebeam

Bytebeam is an IoT platform for businesses of all sizes, offering device connection, monitoring, management, and data collection with end-to-end encryption and user authentication for secure, comprehensive device management.

Challenges

With considerable experience as an IoT device management solution, Bytebeam focused majorly on building a platform that collects and assesses data for its users. But in an attempt to do so, they struggled to keep up with their competitors for visibility and relevant traffic. Post a detailed audit, the SEO team at TripleDart realized that Bytebeam wasn’t using their blog section to its full potential. As a result, their website missed out on targeted traffic that was likely to convert.?

Strategy

We targeted the BOFU and traffic driving keywords, to bring in more targeted traffic on the website.?

Our team created content, designed, and optimized the Feature Pages on the website for better brand visibility.?

We even conducted a regular on-page optimization exercise where we improved metatags, made blogs more keywords oriented, and more.?

We also implemented the practice of Technical SEO Optimization for the older blogs to boost website performance.

PPC Creative of the week

Why does this creative work?

1. Relatable Pain Point: It identifies a common issue faced by businesses using automation, specifically the problem of siloed processes and technical debt.

2. Clear Message: The phrase "Keep islands for vacations" uses a metaphor that is easy to understand and memorable, making the message stick.

3. Solution-Oriented: It quickly transitions to how Camunda can solve this problem by offering end-to-end automation, positioning the brand as a solution provider.

4. Call to Action: It encourages the audience to learn more, driving engagement and potential conversions.

By addressing a specific problem, offering a clear and relatable message, and prompting action, the ad effectively captures attention and conveys its value proposition.
