How Strategic Digital PR Fueled JobAdder's Global SEO Success
JobAdder is a global recruitment SaaS platform offering best-in-class Applicant Tracking (ATS) and CRM software. Competing in saturated markets across ANZ and the UK, JobAdder needed more than just visibility - it needed authority.
 
    
  
- Drive consistent MQL growth without increasing Customer Acquisition Cost
- Build long-term visibility in both brand and product searches
- Strengthen credibility with recruitment professionals and decision makers
With big growth targets and a renewed focus on content, SEO, and brand-led inbound, JobAdder was looking for more than just traffic - they needed qualified, conversion-ready demand from organic traffic.
They were ready to invest in sustainable growth. But this time, it had to be delivered.
- Technical SEO Foundations
 A comprehensive audit and hygiene pass addressed critical crawl, indexing, and internal linking issues, laying the groundwork for scalable content and authority building.
- Keyword-Led Content & On-Site Assets
 New and optimised content hubs targeting high-intent ATS and CRM keywords helped lift product and category pages. Regionalised landing pages were created to support the UK & Ireland rollout.
- Digital PR for Authority & Trust
 A campaign engine powered by thought leadership, data-led storytelling, and original insights. The team created assets like:
- "State of the Market" recruitment trend reports (AU, NZ, UK)
- AI productivity commentary from JobAdder's leadership
- Data-backed PR pieces using Skills & Workforce stats
- Executive profiling and bylines for key spokespeople
Backlink acquisition focused on .com.au and .co.uk domains, with deep links to key conversion pages, not just the homepage. Every campaign had a dual purpose: build authority and drive performance.
A regionalised outreach approach ensured that PR angles, content, and backlinks aligned with the competitive landscapes in both ANZ and UK & Ireland.
