Navigating the Surge in Generative AI with DataStax and Upgrow
DataStax is a leading force in powering generative AI applications with real-time, scalable data. But, it faced a big challenge as it launched its newest product, Vector Search on AstraDB, in June 2023. The product is innovative and promising. But, DataStax found itself competing in a space with four competitors. Each had a head start in SEO for vector search terms.
This blog post delves into how DataStax, with Upgrow’s expertise, caught up. They also boosted their organic visibility and authority in vector search. They did so with remarkable success.
The Challenge: Establishing SEO Presence in a Competitive Landscape
DataStax had little to no SEO presence for key search terms. It faced stiff competition. So, the company set ambitious goals.
The aim was to grow awareness for their Vector Search product. They wanted to boost organic site traffic and rank in the top 5 for key vector search terms. Enter Upgrow, tasked with transforming DataStax’s digital visibility in the generative AI space.
The Strategy: A Comprehensive SEO Overhaul
Upgrow’s approach was multifaceted. It started with deep competitor analysis. This analysis aimed to find opportunities and gaps in the content landscape. This research laid the groundwork for a targeted content strategy. It aims to get page one rankings for four key terms: “Vector Index,” “Vector Search,” “Vector Database,” and “Vector Embedding.””
SEO Content Creation and Optimization
Upgrow worked with DataStax. They produced a series of guide pages and blog posts. Each was optimized for SEO with elements like FAQs, schema markup, targeted keywords, and strategic internal links. This content was made to rank well. But it also provides real value to readers. It positions DataStax as an authority in vector databases.
