“Finovate had a technically broken website with thin content and zero domain authority in a competitive fintech keyword space. No structured content strategy existed — blog posts were sporadic and keyword-unaware. Paid acquisition was the only lead channel, driving up CAC unsustainably. The sales team had no organic pipeline to work from. Core Web Vitals scores were failing, hurting both rankings and conversion.”
