by | Jan 12, 2026 | Case Study

Expanding services, capacity, and results through a strategic partnership with Socialhart

“I have never worked with a more knowledgeable SEO expert, and you are making life so much easier on the Google Ads front, so thank you!! All your work is incredible and so insightful!” – Marketer, Google and Meta Ads Expert

When Demand Outpaced Internal SEO Expertise

  • Client Type: Global Award-Winning Agency (White Label) 
  • Socialhart Services: SEO – AI, Technical, and Content, Content Strategy, Agency Operations, Hiring and Sourcing, Conversion Rate Optimization, New Business Development
  • Challenges: Limited team size and a lack of deep subject-matter expertise left the client without a way to deliver proven SEO and content strategies to drive organic search visibility and maximize digital marketing performance.

Building the Infrastructure to Support Global SEO Growth

In 2022, the client wanted to expand their digital marketing services but lacked a crucial team component: team members to lead and deliver results for global brands across SEO and content, with the ultimate goal of driving organic search visibility and maximizing digital marketing performance. 

Enter: Socialhart. Socialhart developed the internal agency structure and team, hiring up to 13 members to service global clients, providing expertise in SEO and content to develop SOPs, reporting, client communication, and hiring standards. Socialhart served as the lead for deliverability and QA for the client. 

Socialhart continues to deliver these services today, with client retention and satisfaction remaining high into 2026.  

“You are a rockstar, Crystal. Thank you so much! You have a way of making complex things sound so clear!” – Business Development Manager

Socialhart takes SEO and content off the agency’s plate, while the agency delivers outstanding full-service marketing to clients, driving impressive results across women’s health, wellness, and luxury brands.” – Crystal Ortiz, Founder, Socialhart (Primary SEO Consultant)
