The Challenge
Seed-stage proptech startup with zero organic traffic. All revenue from founder outbound. Blog empty. Competitors occupying every relevant property management SaaS keyword in Australian search.
Our Solution
Australian property management keyword mapping; topic clusters targeting property manager pain points; technical SEO foundation; original benchmark data for link acquisition.
Australian property management has specific regulatory complexity US competitors can't cover. We own that content now.
Full Story
The Challenge
Australian property management has regulatory and operational characteristics that differ significantly from US and UK markets — strata law, owners corporation rules, VCAT processes, state-specific tenancy legislation. This Sydney proptech startup understood these specifics deeply. Their US-origin competitors did not. That was the competitive content opportunity.
Our Approach
We focused entirely on Australian-specific content that US competitors couldn't credibly produce. Topic clusters on strata management, maintenance request workflows, lease compliance, and owner reporting were built around the specific language and regulation of the Australian market. Technical SEO — site speed, structured data, proper canonicalisation — ensured the content ranked efficiently despite a young domain.
An original Australian property management benchmark report (operational efficiency, maintenance response times, owner satisfaction benchmarks) was published in month three and earned coverage in property industry publications, building domain authority and brand recognition in the target market simultaneously.
Results
Organic traffic grew from near-zero to 8,000 monthly visits in six months. The site now ranks page 1 for 200+ Australian property management keywords — many of which US competitors have never targeted. Inbound qualified leads reached 25+ per month; trial signups from organic reached 40+ per month. Founder outbound is now supplementary, not primary.
The Challenge
- Zero organic traffic — no indexed content beyond homepage and product pages
- Competitors (US and AU) ranking for every relevant property management software keyword
- All pipeline from founder outbound — hit a ceiling at current ARR
- No content that demonstrated understanding of Australian strata and property management regulations
What We Did
- Mapped 1,800+ Australian property management keyword opportunities — prioritising AU-specific regulatory and compliance queries US competitors couldn't serve
- Built 4 topic clusters: strata management software, maintenance request tracking, lease management automation, property owner reporting
- Technical SEO: site speed improvements, structured data, proper canonicalisation across product and pricing pages
- Published Australian property management benchmark report — earned coverage in property industry media
- Free strata meeting minutes template and maintenance checklist drove backlinks and email sign-ups
