Top 5 fastest growing companies
1. BoldDesk (2786% escalate)
BoldDesk is a customer service platform that enables companies to talk to their customers. Their annual revenue is estimated at $39,400,000.
BoldDesk’s traffic growth over the past year can be attributed to the strength of content marketing on their blog, according to Ahrefs’ site structure report.
Their top-of-the-funnel blogs, which typically discuss common and alternative phrases used in customer communications, drive a lot of traffic.
2. LeadIQ (2588% escalate)
LeadIQ is a B2B sales tool that helps companies find leads, track buying signals, and personalize customer contact. His estimated annual revenue is over $7,000,000.
Our site structure report shows that LeadIQ managed to escalate traffic by programmatically adding 205,000. landing pages that generate an additional 129,000 organic visits per month.
These template landing pages facilitate LeadIQ audiences enrich their CRM data with exact information about their company and potential customers.
They include company reviews, financing and financials, technology stack and insights.
This strategy enables LeadIQ to tap into the branded traffic of thousands of companies, such as digital gifting platform CashStar, game-based education platform GimKit and global communications consultancy Ketchum. Wise.
3. Peakflo (up 1565%)
Peakflo is an AI-powered automation tool that helps companies streamline their financial operations. They are one of the smaller players on our list, with modest revenues of around $1,000,000.
Peakflo significantly increased its organic traffic this year after localizing its blog content into English and Indonesian. Our site structure report shows the addition of ~360 pages in the ID and EN subfolders.
On the localized Indonesian version of its website, Peakflo added 81 pages to its learning hub, which attracted an additional 7.6k visitors. organic users.
They’ve added a wide range of modern blog pages to the English subfolder on topics ranging from “commitments” to “financial news.”
4. Offers (up 1565%)
Deals – an Indonesian job offer platform – although relatively modern on the market, has already recorded impressive growth in organic traffic.
This escalate is largely due to an additional 490 pages of career development content added to their site, generating a total of a whopping 335,000 additional traffic.
The Deals brand also appears to be driving search interest by viewing Ahrefs’ free search data in Keyword Explorer. Searches for the keyword “Offers” have increased by 34% over the past year and we expect search volume to continue to grow by another 58%.
I imagine the growth of this brand has more than a little to do with TikTok’s strategy. Thanks to 2.2 million likes, 52 thousand followers and millions of views on each video, Deals has built a forceful brand for itself on social media.
5. Plot (1356% escalate)
Storylane helps companies create interactive, no-code product demos for website landing pages, blog posts, social media, and email campaigns.
They are a self-described, product-driven company, and nowhere is this more evident than in organic search growth, which has skyrocketed since creating 2.7k. modern product tutorials.
Storylane brilliantly used its own product to create a uncomplicated, visual experience for some of the largest SaaS tools available, including Canva, Salesforce, and Google Search Console.
Judging by the keywords they’ve chosen over the past year, they’re improving their search results by leveraging valuable brand search traffic generated by other tech giants.
Borrowing existing keywords from more established, complementary brands is a astute move on Storylane’s part. Not only do they align with user intent by providing quick, visual answers to frequently asked questions, but they also showcase your product and turn top-of-the-funnel questions into middle-of-the-funnel with strategically placed product CTAs.
Like Deals, Storylane has also seen forceful organic brand growth. The number of searches for the brand name increased by 20% in 12 months, to 2,000. searches per month. According to our forecasts, this number will escalate by another 37% over the next two years.
As their target audience, I have admired Storylane’s marketing for some time – they pursue calculated growth strategies (like those above), but also have the courage to invest in fun, neoteric brand marketing. For example, here they trick The Office “Dundies” with their own reward:Dundies demo“
And that’s when they got into Out-Of-Home (OOH) marketing by renting a truck to advertise at the Drive by Exit Five B2B marketing event.
