The context

The starting point

Medina Morocco Magazine is a premium print and digital publication based in Rabat, aimed at an international readership and positioned around culture, heritage, gastronomy and lifestyle.

The challenge

What needed solving

The site started from zero backlinks. All the growth therefore had to come from content structure and internal linking, with no external authority to lean on.

Our approach

How we went about it

  1. 01

    360° go-to-market strategy

    A three-month communications plan covering Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, X and the site.

  2. 02

    Social content built to travel

    Highly shareable carousels built for the client's defined ideal customer profile.

  3. 03

    Semantic SEO without backlinks

    Optimisation of existing articles and an internal linking structure: traffic doubled on that lever alone.

  4. 04

    Visibility in LLMs

    Clicks generated from ChatGPT alongside conventional search.
