Strategy

Keyword Strategy

FireMon came to Amplifyed after months of watching their previous agency chase keywords that didn't matter to their business. We mapped keywords to every core solution and product page, then built out their full tier-1 list for terms like firewall policy management and zero trust policy governance. A competitor gap analysis showed exactly where FireMon could overtake rivals.

On-Page SEO

We began with FireMon's solution pages, optimized to match how buyers actually search. From there, we expanded to tier-1 keywords, mapping intent behind each one. An interlinking audit closed gaps and strengthened the pages that needed to pass authority.

Technical SEO

A full technical audit resolved the issues living on the website. We uncovered schema gaps and implemented structured data across the sitem which is key for both traditional rankings and visibility in AI-generated results.

Content

The first goal was conversion: optimizing pages so traffic FireMon already earned turned into pipeline. From there, focus shifted to growing visibility for top keywords and in AI Overviews with every piece structured around those two goals.

Challenges

Pain Point Overview

FireMon needed an SEO partner who would focus on the keywords that drive their business, and prove it with honest, transparent reporting.

Priorities

The previous strategy reported on Top 3 and Top 10 keywords, but not the ones FireMon actually cared about.

Proof of ROI

Reporting highlighted the wins and buried the losses, leaving FireMon with no honest picture of what organic search was contributing to the business.

Technical

The site carried unresolved technical issues and schema gaps that held back both crawlability and AI visibility, while the backlink strategy leaned on expensive, shaky sites.
