“Working with Flying Cat felt like adding a fully functional SEO arm to our team. The strategy was clear, easy for us to use, and changed how we create content. Their topic-cluster approach and structural fixes drastically improved how visitors moved from our blog into product and solutions pages, and we’re still using that framework today.”

Kerri Moore Senior Content Marketing Manager, Bizzabo

Challenges we faced

Traffic was declining, but not for traditional reasons. Non-branded organic clicks dropped 23% year-over-year, even as impressions grew 8%. One of the culprits was Google’s AI Overviews and generative AI platforms were answering user queries directly—eliminating the need for clicks entirely and destroying CTR. 

In modern SEO – we had to change the success metric away from vanity and towards tangible ROI. We also had to consider the large library of content that had become hard to manage over the years.

Specific Challenges

  • Attracting the wrong audience: Not only was traffic declining, but the leads coming in from organic were wrong-fit due to a high volume traffic play that focused on brand awareness over customer alignment
  • Legacy content decay: Top-funnel evergreen content that once drove traffic was losing visibility as AI answered generic queries without citing sources. Content published between November 2023 and January 2024 saw a 32% decline in clicks.
  • 400+ pages requiring updates: The site had accumulated hundreds of outdated pages that needed refresh, competing with the need for new content creation.

The Strategic Question

  • How do you maintain—and grow—organic pipeline when search traffic is declining industry-wide? The answer required abandoning click-based metrics and pioneering new measurement frameworks.

The Solution

Rebuilt the SEO strategy around real buyer behavior, using sales-call insights to map the ICP’s questions, pain points, and evaluation triggers.

Audited the full content library and reorganized scattered assets into focused topic clusters that reflected how prospects research B2B event-tech solutions.

Designed cluster-level internal-linking paths to move users from informational content toward the most relevant product and solutions pages.

Identified and filled priority content gaps based on ICP needs and intent strength, rather than volume or keyword density.

Rebuilt CTA strategy so demo, product, and solutions CTAs aligned with search intent, funnel stage, and the logic of each cluster.

Created a clean, predictable path that pulled organic visitors from blogs into high-intent pages, strengthening relevance and increasing traffic to product and solutions pages.

 

Technical foundations: site cleanup

To ensure Google and search bots could efficiently crawl and understand Bizzabo’s content, we:

  • Pruned 63 non-performing URLs creating crawl waste
  • Fixed redirect chains and orphan pages
  • Optimized internal linking to boost high-value pages
  • Implemented structured data (FAQ, How-To, Product schema) for AI parsing

 

The Results: Metrics That Matter for Pipeline

Primary Success Metric: +67% Growth to Product and Solutions pages

ICP user journeys from organic search increased by 67% in 4 months, with improved visits to product/solution/demo pages from organic and AI sources.
