INTRODUCTION

Driving Qualified Enterprise Demand Through SEO-Led Growth

Tenet partnered with Yomly, an enterprise HR and payroll software provider operating across the UAE and GCC, to scale organic visibility and improve the quality of inbound leads. Yomly’s platform is purpose-built for mid-to-large organisations with complex compliance and workforce requirements, typically serving companies with more than 250 employees.

Before engaging Tenet, Yomly relied heavily on paid acquisition to generate demand. Organic traffic was minimal, and the limited SEO-driven leads were largely misaligned with Yomly’s enterprise positioning. The objective was to build a sustainable organic acquisition engine that attracts high-intent HR and payroll decision-makers across the UAE and wider GCC.

BACKGROUND

Yomly operates in a highly competitive enterprise SaaS category, where search intent is narrow, decision cycles are long, and lead quality matters more than raw traffic volume.

At the start of the engagement, the website had weak SEO foundations and limited visibility for commercial HR and payroll keywords. Organic acquisition contributed only a small fraction of total leads, forcing continued dependence on paid channels.

Key challenges identified included:

  • Very low organic traffic and approximately 2-3 SEO-driven leads per month
  • Nearly 90 % dependence on paid ads for overall lead generation
  • No strong landing pages targeting commercial or location-based keywords
  • Thin, outdated content that did not reflect enterprise HR decision-making
  • Weak internal linking and unresolved technical SEO issues
  • No linkable assets and very few quality backlinks
  • Minimal first-page keyword rankings
  • Poor visibility for HR and payroll software searches in the UAE and GCC

As a result, Yomly attracted a high volume of small-business enquiries that were not aligned with its enterprise focus.

APPROACH

Tenet designed a full-funnel SEO and website optimisation strategy focused on intent, relevance, and long-term scalability rather than vanity metrics.

Audience Research and Competitive Analysis

The engagement began with in-depth research into how enterprise HR and payroll buyers search, evaluate tools, and articulate pain points. Tenet’s SEO team analysed more than 100 real user questions from platforms such as Reddit and Quora, alongside detailed reviews of competitor pages across the region.

Key insights uncovered included:

  • Confusion around HRIS, HRMS, and HCM terminology, leading users to search for simpler explanations
  • High pricing uncertainty due to limited transparency across HR platforms
  • Frustration with complex tools such as Oracle and SAP, prompting searches for easier alternatives
  • Strong demand for use-case and budget-focused pages
  • High decision-stage intent behind comparison searches such as “Gusto vs Deel”
  • Search activity often triggered by company growth, compliance issues, or payroll errors
  • Preference for industry-specific and team-size-based recommendations
  • Clear bias towards simple workflows over feature-heavy tools

These insights shaped Yomly’s site architecture, content strategy, and keyword roadmap.

APPROACH

Website Redesign for Enterprise Positioning and Conversion

Yomly’s existing website design lacked clarity, credibility signals, and conversion focus. Tenet redesigned the site structure and page layouts to improve readability, guide user flow, and reinforce enterprise trust.

Improvements included:

  • Sectional design improvements across the website with cleaner layouts and stronger content hierarchy without a full design revamp.
  • Clearer CTAs guiding users towards demo requests with fewer steps
  • Addition of reviews, ratings, client logos, and social proof elements
  • Improved content flow highlighting workflows, benefits, and enterprise use cases
  • Creation of a detailed Yomly review page to address real buyer questions and improve lead quality

The blog layout was also upgraded to support conversion through improved internal linking, clearer CTAs, and lead magnet placements.

APPROACH

Industry-Specific and Regional Landing Pages

To capture high-intent demand, Tenet created dedicated landing pages targeting enterprise-heavy industries such as hospitality, manufacturing, healthcare, construction, retail, and logistics. Each page addressed industry-specific HR challenges, workflows, and compliance requirements.

In parallel, new commercial and location-based landing pages were launched for:

  • UAE, Dubai, Abu Dhabi
  • Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan

These pages targeted high-intent HR and payroll software keywords searched by buyers before requesting demos.

Content Refresh and Publishing System

More than 80 % of Yomly’s pages had zero clicks at the start of the campaign. Tenet implemented a structured content refresh strategy that included:

  • Updating outdated pages
  • Expanding thin content
  • Adding FAQs and clearer headers
  • Strengthening internal linking

This approach reduced zero-traffic pages month after month and significantly improved indexation. First-page keyword rankings increased from 132 to 763 within six months, with a deliberate focus on high-intent queries only.

A weekly publishing system was established for new blog content, alongside performance-driven updates to existing articles. Each article targeted commercial, comparison, or region-specific HR software searches and linked back to enterprise landing pages.

A central content inventory dashboard tracked every page by URL type, hub topic, writing stage, and approval status to ensure consistency and scalability.

APPROACH

Linkable Assets and Authority Building

Tenet planned and launched tools, templates, and resources including salary calculators, attendance templates, HR forms, and policy checklists. These assets attracted backlinks organically without reliance on paid outreach.

Additional strategies included editorial placements, HARO features, and foundational citations across approved GCC locations. Over six months, the campaign acquired backlinks from more than 50 websites with at least 10,000 monthly organic visitors. These backlinks would have cost an estimated $8,000+ per month if acquired through paid channels.

APPROACH

Keyword Coverage and Lead Quality Optimisation

Keywords were grouped strictly by intent, prioritising commercial, competitive, and local searches that lead to enterprise demos. Page content and internal linking were optimised to support buyer comparison journeys and regional payroll searches.

Lead generation was further strengthened through improved CTAs, embedded demo forms, and clearer enterprise messaging. This repositioning filtered out low-quality SMB enquiries and increased inbound lead relevance.

SOLUTION

Measurable Growth in Enterprise Visibility and Lead Quality

Within six months, Yomly experienced sustained growth across organic visibility, qualified traffic, and enterprise lead generation.

Key outcomes included:

  • Daily clicks increased from approximately 80 to over 300 per day
  • Total clicks on high-intent keywords grew from 5.25K to 20.5K, a 290 % increase
  • Total impressions increased from 410K to 1.8M, a 339 % increase
  • First-page keyword rankings increased from 132 to 763
  • Monthly organic leads grew from 6 to more than 30 high-intent enterprise enquiries
  • Commercial keywords such as “HR software UAE” and “payroll software Dubai” reached first-page rankings
  • Organic backlinks increased steadily through asset-driven and editorial strategies


The quality of inbound leads shifted significantly, with enquiries now coming from companies ranging from 50 to more than 5,000 employees, including globally recognised brands across multiple industries.

In parallel with SERP growth, Yomly also gained visibility across AI Overviews and leading LLM-based recommendation platforms, strengthening brand discovery as software research behaviour continues to evolve. Screenshots available below.
