Growth in organic traffic with TripleDart
SentinelOne is a leading cybersecurity company specializing in autonomous endpoint protection and AI-powered extended detection and response (XDR) solutions. Recognized as a key player in the cybersecurity market, SentinelOne protects organizations worldwide from advanced threats. The company went public in June 2021, achieving one of the largest IPOs in the cybersecurity sector.
Together, SentinelOne and TripleDart built a robust and diversified content engine designed to withstand the test of time — and AI — by focusing on helpful, long-form, high-intent content.
The results were remarkable: SentinelOne achieved a 300% increase in qualified organic traffic within six months and expanded its keyword footprint by 450%. These efforts unlocked new business opportunities and contributed to signed deals.
Monthly Traffic Growth: From 60,000 to 140,000 Visitors in 12 Months
The challenge: Building authority in CyberSecurity space
Challenge 1: Establishing Authority in Cybersecurity
SentinelOne faced difficulty in building authority for non-branded cybersecurity searches. While ranking well for branded terms, the lack of long-form, educational content made it hard to compete with established players dominating the space. Without this, showcasing expertise and earning trust in the highly competitive market was a challenge.
Challenge 2: Competing for High-Intent Software Queries
SentinelOne struggled to rank for direct software-related searches dominated by listicles like "Best Cybersecurity Software." The absence of curated, listicle-style content led to missed visibility for high-intent keywords, giving competitors an edge in capturing potential leads and conversions.
Content Diversification Tactics to the Rescue
TripleDart helped SentinelOne identify search opportunities, devise a content strategy, and scale a content engine that drives thousands of qualified organic visits every month, thereby establishing authority in the cybersecurity space.
A dedicated team of 13 professionals delivered over 250 pieces of content in 6 months
To ensure the success of SentinelOne's content strategy, a dedicated and specialized team was assembled:
- Content Strategist (1): Responsible for identifying opportunities, devising the content plan, and ensuring alignment with business goals.
- Production Manager (1): Managed the end-to-end content production process, ensuring timely delivery and smooth collaboration.
- Quality Assurance Team (3): Focused on rigorous review and editing to maintain high-quality, error-free, and SEO-optimized content.
