The starting point

A company in the loan and financing sector came to Rodanet with a website positioned for low-value generic keywords and no visibility in transactional searches where application decisions are actually made. The financial sector is one of the most competitive for SEO in Spain—large comparison sites, banking entities, and financing platforms have been investing in positioning for years—and it is also classified as YMYL by Google, which raises the bar even higher for the required quality criteria. The strategy had to be surgical: position for the right keywords, with the right content, without shortcuts that would put the domain at risk.

The challenge

Positioning a loan company for the highest-value transactional keywords in a YMYL sector dominated by major players, applying a clean strategy that met Google’s E-E-A-T criteria for finance.

The strategy

What we did

Conversion-oriented financial keyword research

Exhaustive analysis of the loan sector keyword map to identify searches with the highest application intent and lowest saturation from large comparison sites. Segmentation by loan type, amount, term, and user profile to build a content architecture that captured each demand segment with its own optimized page.

Financial content with E-E-A-T criteria

Production of informational and transactional content regarding personal loans, financing, and credit, written with financial and legal rigor. In the YMYL sector, Google scrutinizes content credibility—each article was designed to demonstrate experience, expertise, authoritativeness, and trustworthiness to both the algorithm and the user.

Technical optimization and financial link building

Complete technical audit and correction of issues limiting the crawling and indexing of key pages. Link building campaigns in high-authority financial, economic, and consumer media to offset the accumulated advantage of major sector players and accelerate positioning for target keywords.

The numbers

What we achieved

Evolution of SEO visibility in loans

+4,000% growth in organic traffic in 1 year
8x leads/month in just 12 months
From 0 to 80 leads/month via organic channel in 1 year
100% organic without ad spend
