As a finance-adjacent site, CoinVertex needed placements from genuinely reputable financial and news publications — low-quality crypto blogs would have added risk rather than authority. Their existing backlink profile leaned heavily on low-relevance directories.
Over 9 months, referring domains grew from 520 to 1,340, concentrated on higher-trust financial and fintech publications. Organic traffic rose 196%, and page-1 rankings for commercial exchange-comparison keywords grew from 9 to 38.
“In crypto, who links to you matters as much as how many links you get. BoostUpBuzz was the first agency we worked with that actually turned prospects down for being the wrong fit.”
