The Brand

Offering the latest discount codes across thousands of the world’s biggest brands, Wethrift helps over 3 million shoppers save money each month.

Wethrift approached JBH in 2020 to help drive traffic to the right parts of the website and to increase awareness of the brand in key territories across the UK and internationally.

The Brief

The discount code market is huge and only growing in popularity with financial pressures on households. While the opportunity is large, it’s also incredibly competitive with well-established competitors with household brands.

Our challenge was to generate a wide variety of digital PR content that reached out to the type of consumer that Wethrift supports.

The Solution

With such a vast offering, the right places to drive links to boost commercial impact weren’t immediately clear. We began the research phase of our Performance Boost package to identify the pages with the biggest opportunity.

We then assessed the content on these pages to judge whether it was helpful for users and suggested recommendations.

Once we had the key verticals and pages, we implemented a blend of digital PR activity, which included:

  • Hero campaigns linked to key verticals to drive interest in specific territories, push link equity to key pages through internal linking, and open link gaps with established competition.
  • Proactive campaigns to target hyper-niche topic trends and drive topical relevance of links
  • Reactive pitches to drive brand and stakeholder mentions, and respond to breaking news or emerging trends.

Coverage Relevance

With so many sites in varying niches, it was important to ensure that all areas of the site got an equal distribution of inbound link equity. Here you’ll see that beauty, parenting, and entertainment were the categories we aimed to focus on.

Digital PR Results In Detail

When a website has over 76,000 commercial pages, and the majority of those are commercial in nature, where do you start?

This was the first challenge we encountered. However, our insights allowed us to narrow down on around 50 target pages with the biggest opportunity. We began by recommending on-page content improvements to get the pages in the best place to rank.

Once this was complete, we undertook in-depth and ongoing trend analysis around the topics featured in these pages. This allowed us to drive natural, authoritative, and relevant links towards these key pages.

In the last year, pages that had plateaued in rankings and traffic have shown impressive improvements.
