The Story

The Background

Sofar Ocean is a leader in ocean data and sensing technology, focused on creating a sustainable future through real-time, global-scale ocean observations. By deploying hundreds of Spotters worldwide, they manage the largest private ocean sensor network, capturing over 1.5 million observations daily. This data fuels high-accuracy marine forecasts that support maritime shipping in reducing fuel use, emissions, and time. Sofar also empowers researchers and innovators with devices and data for marine research and sustainable solutions, all developed by a diverse team of experts in San Francisco, California.

The Challenge

Sofar Ocean needed to improve their SEO to attract more organic traffic, boost engagement with their content, and increase their search rankings. They aimed to draw more visitors to their site and support revenue growth.

Our Solution

Galactic Fed developed a targeted SEO strategy for Sofar Ocean, designed to engage maritime professionals, environmental researchers, government agencies, and industries dependent on ocean data. The team conducted keyword research to create topic clusters like “ocean intelligence” and “forecasting & modeling,” which guided content creation to position Sofar Ocean as an industry leader. We published articles, including “How Maritime Weather Forecasting Minimizes Risks in Shipping Operations” and “Protecting Your Shipping Cargo During Hurricane Season,” to help address the pain points of Sofar Ocean’s target audience.

Additionally, Galactic Fed carried out technical SEO audits to uncover areas for improvement and initiated earned link-building campaigns in partnership with sustainability, shipping, and business websites. This strategic approach resulted in a remarkable 12x increase in organic traffic, significantly raising awareness of Sofar Ocean.
