Cracking the Content Quandary for a Top-Ranked Storage Solution

When Google changed their algorithm in August 2018, industries across many verticals were massively disrupted. A new premium was placed on relevance and quality, which were suddenly being valued higher in terms of SEO. As a result, Shawn Panosian, Southwest Solutions Group's Director of Marketing and Product Development, knew changes needed to be made in how his company was approaching content. “When the rules changed, SSG’s content just started killing itself,” reveals Panosian of the sudden plight. “Previously, the company had been good at throwing up 20-30 articles per week, but their methodologies weren’t working anymore. More thought had to be put into it.”

Act
In order to make the company blog more strategic, Panosian sought out a content partner to help with this task — and found ClearVoice. Until then, Panosian reveals that SSG had been “hiring writers, underpaying them and getting what they paid for.” His new goal was to find a company with an impressive resume and “valued global access.” Panosian was impressed out of the gate by ClearVoice in several facets — one being the writers’ ability to make what might be considered "boring" content seem interesting. The other was that they used all the right keywords. “We’re not really writing for the readers, we’re writing for Google," says Panosian. "The ClearVoice team did it right — and they did it well.”

As it goes, the proof is in the proverbial pudding. In the first seven months of a relationship that began in August 2020, the ClearVoice team tackled 78 blog pieces up to 1,500 words each, using five writers and one producer. With topics provided by Panosian, the content push has given Panosian a huge sigh of relief not only because ClearVoice is “a professional company that presented me with professionals,” but because they’ve made SSG’s “content more intelligent from an SEO perspective.” The result has been not just leads — but quality leads. According to Panosian, Southwest Solutions Group now ranks number one with six product lines — for the first time in the company's history.

In working with people like ClearVoice Senior Success Manager Annika Mills, Panosian has gained more confidence in the partnership by the day. “What bought me confidence early on was their transparency and organization,” admits Panosian. “I was confident in their ability to give me their best effort… and now I’m seeing the results in the data over time.” More specifically, an 82% uptick for non-branded traffic and 8% increase for branded traffic since December 2020. "Ultimately, I like that ClearVoice handles everything to do with talent — all I have to do is focus on content."
