Client Overview

• Client: Box.com
• Industry: Cloud content management and enterprise collaboration
• Market Position: Enterprise-grade platform trusted by large organizations and regulated industries
• Engagement Focus: Ranking priority pages for high-intent, high-profile keywords through authoritative placements

The Problem

Box competes in a crowded, enterprise SaaS search landscape where visibility is dominated by well-funded incumbents, review platforms, and comparison-driven content.

Key challenges included:

• Highly competitive, high-intent keywords tied directly to enterprise buying decisions
• SERPs influenced heavily by authority and brand signals, not just relevance
• Difficulty differentiating core solution pages in comparison-heavy environments
• Need for credibility at the page level, not just domain-level strength
• Requirement for brand-safe execution appropriate for an enterprise audience

The challenge was not general awareness—Box already had it—but earning decisive visibility for specific, revenue-driving pages in high-stakes SERPs.

Strategic Objective

The engagement focused on:

• Improving rankings for high-intent, commercially valuable keywords
• Strengthening page-level authority signals for priority solution pages
• Securing high-profile editorial placements aligned with enterprise trust standards
• Driving qualified organic traffic aligned with enterprise buyer intent
