How Raptive Creators Doubled Search Traffic Overnight
At Raptive, we’re committed to helping our creators grow their business, whether it’s by increasing their revenue per pageview or by helping them grow their audience. Search engine optimization (SEO), or optimizing content to attract readers from search engines like Google, plays a big role in audience growth. In fact, in our creator survey this past spring, 98% of our creators told us that improving SEO was a key focus.
With the launch of our first Growth Solution — Content Optimization — we are proud to help creators do just that. We’re making Topic, the industry’s leading SEO technology, available exclusively to Raptive creators. Through a direct integration, we are now providing our creators with an actionable solution to optimize existing content and create new content that will perform well in search results.
To date, creators in the Content Optimization Beta have used the technology to update more than 700 posts and have seen significant increases in traffic and revenue for the pages they have optimized. From food sites to DIY sites, creators are seeing immediate, meaningful results.
Here are just a few case studies from across our community of creators.
Just Plain Cooking

Food site Just Plain Cooking has dozens of dessert posts. Creator Marie Beausoleil used our Content Optimization solution to optimize her post for Sugar Pie. The results were astounding. Almost immediately after the post was optimized, pageviews from search jumped by more than 227%. Even more, each time the page appeared on search results pages for relevant keywords, the clickthrough rate more than doubled.
“I love you guys. Thank you. I’ve been trying to figure out which posts I should do and for which keywords. This helps SO much.”
