Insta.. is a SaaS tool that allows users to download Instagram stories, view stories anonymously, and save Instagram content.
Operating in a competitive tools niche, the site faced the challenge of low traffic and low authority, despite having a valuable product.
The goal was to scale organic traffic quickly, build domain authority, and rank for high-intent keywords in a short timeframe.
The Challenge
Insta.. started with:
- DR: 7
- Traffic: 253
The SaaS/tools niche in India is highly competitive for Instagram-related keywords.
The client wanted rapid traffic growth without compromising safety and sustainability.
Key requirements:
- Rank for high-intent keywords like Instagram Story Downloader
- Increase Domain Authority and DR
- Boost organic traffic quickly
- Use multiple link-building methods (PR, PBN, Guest Post)
The Strategy: Global PR + PBN + Guest Post
To achieve fast and scalable growth, we combined multiple high-impact tactics:
Link-Building Framework
- 400+ links built within 2 months
- Average DR: 60+
- Anchor text strategy: partial match + branded keywords
- Mix of Global PR, PBN, and Guest Post placements
Top Link Sources
