From Rebrand to Results: 115K Visits in Six Months

Polkadot

This project started with a client asking, “How much traffic can we get without publishing every week?” My answer: fewer posts, more structure.

Summary

After Polkadot’s rebrand and migration from Polkadot.network to Polkadot.com, the challenge was clear: rebuild traffic, trust, and domain authority from the ground up. Within six months, we turned a blank slate into a high-performing content engine.

What I did

  • Audited 70+ existing blog posts and cut dead weight

  • Rewrote cornerstone content with SEO-first architecture

  • Designed a new CMS-based layout in Framer

  • Built internal guides to keep the voice and UX consistent

What changed

Instead of chasing volume, we focused on clarity, links, and internal logic.

Result: ~1M reads per year — with under 100 articles live.

Not bad for a lean team that stopped publishing “because we should” and started publishing what works.
