Project:
Vatebra Limited sought to strengthen its online presence and improve the visibility of its corporate website as well as key subsidiaries: VatebraPay (a fintech payment solution), Vatebra Technology Hubs (an initiative supporting innovation and entrepreneurship), and WAECKONNECT (a specialized SaaS solution for academic management).

This segmentation ensured that content creation and optimization efforts were laser-focused on each target audience’s unique needs. - On-Page Optimization:

Blog posts, whitepapers, and case studies were crafted, focusing on trending topics in fintech, academic management, and innovation hubs. These pieces were optimized with target keywords and distributed across digital channels to amplify reach. - Backlink Building:
- Built high-quality backlinks from industry-leading websites, including technology blogs, academic publications, and fintech platforms, to improve domain authority.
