Keyword Research
A Focused Commercial Starting Point
The project identified 15 strategically selected commercial keywords, with reported monthly search volumes reaching 480. Product and collection landing pages were mapped to those opportunities.
Every tracked term was recorded as NA at baseline. The focus was on relevant software-license searches, not a claim of targeting hundreds of keywords.

Technical Foundations
Audit the Site. Understand the Link Profile.
A technical audit was used to identify website optimization and discoverability opportunities. The score is evidence of the audit process, not a before-and-after performance result.
Backlink profile analysis showed approximately 1.08K follow links at the documented snapshot, including commercially relevant anchor text. This describes the existing profile, not links all built by Tech Striker.
