We get a lot of value out of the partnership. You’re doing a great job in being responsive to us, and are highly detailed with keeping track of work — and diligently completing all the audit and link architecture items on time. Our results also show a lot of success, with our readership steadily increasing every month.

The Story

Hourly is an award-winning Silicon Valley tech company that links time cards, payroll, and workers’ compensation for small to medium-sized businesses. This streamlines the management, payment, and insurance processes for the hourly workforce. Their innovative platform not only helps businesses streamline operations but also focuses on the well-being of their workforce.

The Challenge

Hourly came to Galactic Fed with the goal of boosting their online visibility and attracting relevant traffic to their site. They needed a comprehensive SEO program to improve their site’s performance, ensuring they could effectively reach their target audience while continuing to enhance their reputation as a leader in the industry.

Our Solution

Galactic Fed aimed to grow Hourly’s online presence and get them in front of more potential customers. To make that happen, our team built a 360-degree SEO strategy focused on boosting their website’s visibility, authority, and traffic.

We started with a deep dive into Hourly’s site, identifying areas for improvement like page speed, broken links, and missing or unoptimized meta content. Next, we fine-tuned their website copy based on high-value search keywords their audience was actively looking for.

A big focus was building a strong network of backlinks to improve Hourly’s domain authority. We launched a targeted outreach campaign to secure high-quality links from trusted websites. To ensure long-term success, we also trained Hourly’s content team on SEO best practices so they could confidently create optimized content on their own.

With this strategic approach, Hourly saw incredible growth:

642% increase in referring domains (from 125 to 927)
1080% increase in referring pages (from 523 to 6,151)
38-point boost in domain rating (from 18 to 56)
9800% increase in total keywords ranking in search results (from 643 to 63,665)
47000% increase in organic search traffic (Ahrefs) (from 133 to 62,584)
167x increase in organic search traffic (Google Analytics) (from 479 in May 2020 to 80,691 in October 2021)
183x increase in traffic value (from $777 to $142,941)

By combining technical SEO improvements, strategic content optimization, and high-quality link building, Galactic Fed helped Hourly boost their online visibility and search rankings, driving sustained organic growth.
