Case Study: Sked Social achieves 20+ top SERP rankings with Respona

#1 Rankings For 20+ Different Keywords for A Social Scheduling Tool

Sked Social, an Instagram-first social scheduling tool based in Melbourne, Australia, needed a better way to build backlinks and compete in a crowded niche with more than 50 direct competitors. The team wanted link building to become part of their regular workflow rather than a full-time burden, and their previous use of SEMRush’s email automation felt clunky and secondary to the main product.

Using Respona for link building outreach, blogger outreach, and HARO-based prospecting, Sked Social was able to manage outreach in one place and streamline the full backlink-building process. With Respona, the company gained 3,500 new referring domains, kept a 99% email delivery rate, and saw 1,183 total email opens from 2,011 delivered emails; the effort also helped Sked Social secure #1 rankings for 20+ keywords, later reaching 31 keywords ranking #1 and over 100K monthly organic traffic.
