SEO-driven site expansion
Launched by Dolby Laboratories, a worldwide leader in audio and video processing solutions, Dolby.io is an API platform aimed at improving media and communication capabilities. It allows developers, content creators, and businesses to enhance their interactions and content, ensuring top-notch communication, collaboration, and audiovisual experiences within their applications and services. Initially, search engine optimization was not a key focus of Dolby.io's strategy when the website went live. It heavily depended on the strong global branding of Dolby Laboratories to attract organic search traffic, which primarily stemmed from branded queries. As the company's services grew throughout 2021, Voltage had the chance to assist in expanding the website with an SEO-driven strategy.
To achieve this, Voltage conducted comprehensive research on keywords, entities, competitors, and search engine results pages to shape a content strategy aimed at Dolby.io’s specific target audience. This information informed updates to on-page elements such as metatags, headers, anchor text, and alt tags, as well as the body text on evergreen pages. Additionally, Voltage utilized Dolby.io’s extensive range of developer documentation and blog content to enhance the site’s internal linking, which helped search engines better understand page context and improved user navigation.
As a result, Voltage received a silver award in the Organic Search Engine Marketing category at the 2022 AMBIT Awards. With content optimized for its niche audience, Dolby.io became less dependent on its parent company's brand recognition, achieving a 25% increase in clicks from non-branded queries and a 48% rise in non-branded search impressions. Overall, organic search traffic nearly doubled, experiencing a growth of 96%. This surge in organic traffic contributed to a 76% boost in leads, which was the primary conversion goal for Dolby.io.
