Client
The client is an independent digital publisher that operates a real-time cricket scoring and updates platform. Their website serves a large sports audience looking for minute-by-minute match scores, ball-by-ball commentary, team lineups, player records, series schedules, and cricket news across international and domestic tournaments.
The platform operates in a highly competitive environment dominated by established sports websites. With limited resources and only 4 months old, the client’s goal was to build a stable and reliable organic traffic system rather than relying on match-day spikes.
