How an AWS consulting firm optimized their content marketing strategy to increase organic traffic by 120%
Is B2B Content Marketing Just About Posting a Few Blogs?
Well, unfortunately, most companies think this is true, and as a result, their content efforts fail to generate the desired business impact.
Want to avoid pitfalls like these? Here’s a quick story of how VirtuAbility, an AWS cloud consulting firm, redefined its content marketing approach to reach the right audience and drive meaningful engagement.
About the Consulting Firm
VirtuAbility is an AWS cloud consulting firm that specializes in cloud migration, cost optimization, security and compliance, and infrastructure modernization. The company helps businesses maximize the benefits of AWS by offering tailored cloud solutions that enhance scalability, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness.
The Challenge
VirtuAbility had an established presence in the AWS consulting space and had been actively publishing content on their website. However, as they expanded their service offerings, they started creating content that broadly covered cloud topics rather than directly aligning with their core expertise.
While this initially resulted in decreased organic traffic, the engagement rate plateaued, and conversion rates dropped. The content was scattered across multiple areas, leading to keyword cannibalization and a lack of clear value propositions. As a result, prospective clients found it difficult to understand how VirtuAbility’s services could specifically help them.
My Approach
After thoroughly analyzing VirtuAbility’s services and their target audience, I shifted the focus from producing more content to strategic content optimization. Instead of churning out additional blog posts, I took a deep dive into their sales and customer interactions to better understand their audience’s needs and challenges.
I identified that the most in-demand services were:
-
AWS Cloud Migration
-
Cost Optimization
-
Security & Compliance
-
Infrastructure Modernization
-
DevOps & Automation
Using these five pillars, I restructured VirtuAbility’s content marketing strategy. The next step was a comprehensive content audit, ensuring that all existing content aligned with these pillars.
I implemented the refresh, update, combine, and remove strategy:
Refresh/Update – Optimized existing content with new insights, case studies, and SEO best practices.
Combine – Merged similar content pieces to prevent keyword cannibalization and improve content depth.
Remove – Eliminated outdated or underperforming content that was not aligned with the company’s expertise.
This approach allowed me to streamline the content, reinforce VirtuAbility’s topical authority, and create high-value resources that directly addressed customer pain points.
