SEO that's measured in leads, not search rankings

SEO department of Aegis Reputation Lab. We work with developers and construction companies at federal scale, international hotel chains and HoReCa properties, and B2B companies with long sales cycles where a strategic misstep is costly — including projects with Russian and English site versions and promotion across several geos at once.

Template strategies. Every niche gets its own plan, not a generic checklist

We don't work by feel. Every decision — from the structure of the semantic core to the anchor list — is based on data about the site, the niche and the region, not on generic rules from SEO blog posts. We report not rankings but leads, bookings and cost per lead — for companies where what's at stake isn't a one-off sale but brand reputation and a multi-year marketing budget. And we only use white-hat methods: it takes longer, but the result doesn't reset with the next algorithm update.

WHO THIS IS FOR

The project profiles we work with most often

  • Owners and marketers at development and construction companies — from regional leaders to federal-scale builders — need a steady flow of leads for residential and commercial real estate projects, not one-off traffic spikes with no inquiries.
  • International hotel chains and large HoReCa properties — need direct bookings from organic search, not sole dependence on OTAs and their commissions.
  • SEO agencies (white-label partnership) — manage large clients but lack hands for technical execution under their own brand; need a contractor that works behind the scenes.
  • Federal-scale B2B companies with long sales cycles — traffic exists, but the decision is made over weeks and months by a procurement committee; standard "views and clicks" metrics don't capture the channel's value.
  • Federal- and international-scale projects with RU + EN / multi-geo versions — language versions of the site compete with each other in search or confuse the engine about region; each market needs its own architecture.
SOUND FAMILIAR?

Six problems clients bring to us most often

The site migrated or was redesigned — and Yandex indexing dropped

After a domain, CMS or design change, Yandex can sharply cut the number of indexed pages and tank visibility. We run a technical audit — checking redirects, robots.txt, sitemap, duplicates and crawl speed — and bring the site back into the index without losing its accumulated history.

Technical Audit

Traffic is there, but leads aren't

Rankings are climbing, visitors are arriving, but sales isn't seeing new leads. The usual cause is semantics that don't match user intent. We rebuild the clusters around commercial intent and the customer journey.

Semantics & Clustering

Language versions are competing against each other in search

The Russian and English versions of the site are fighting for the same rankings, and the search engine confuses region and display language. We configure hreflang and separate semantics and structure for each market.

Multilingual SEO

A hotel chain loses bookings on geo- and brand-name queries

OTAs and aggregators outrank the hotel's own site on searches combining the city name and the brand — a common pattern for chains with properties across several countries and time zones. We build out local SEO: location pages, structured markup, brand and geo semantics for each market.

Local SEO

An agency doesn't have enough hands for SEO delivery under its own brand

There are more clients than there is capacity for technical work, content and link building. We work as a white-label executor under your brand.

White-Label for Agencies

It's unclear which parts of SEO actually generate leads

There's a rankings report, but no visibility into which channels and pages actually bring in calls and inquiries. We set up end-to-end analytics and call tracking.

Analytics & Reporting

Need more than traffic — the website itself? Our SEO Department designs turnkey sites engineered for search visibility and leads from day one: for restaurants and cafes, hotels and HoReCa, beauty salons, construction firms and other niches.

APPROACH

What the department's work is built on

White-hat methods only

No schemes that trade short-term gains for future penalties and a lost domain.

Data-driven decisions

Semantics, analytics and prioritized growth points — instead of intuitive tweaks made by eye.

KPIs: leads, bookings, cost per lead

We report on business metrics, not abstract search rankings.

Niche and regional specifics

Yandex isn't Google, construction isn't HoReCa — every strategy is built around the specific project.

WHO WE TAKE ON

Project selection criteria

  1. 01

    There's a measurable business goal

    We take on projects with a specific goal — leads, bookings, calls — not an abstract "traffic growth." These are usually budgets where a strategic mistake costs more than the SEO work itself.

  2. 02

    Willingness to grant access to the site and analytics

    We need access to Yandex.Metrica, Google Search Console, Yandex Webmaster and hosting — or the ability to bring in our own developer.

  3. 03

    A realistic timeline: 6 months minimum

    The first shifts in rankings are usually visible by month 3-4, with sustained growth from month six onward. We don't take on projects asking for "top rankings in two weeks."

  4. 04

    Willingness to track conversions

    Call tracking, analytics goals, CRM integration — without these, it's impossible to calculate the real cost per lead.

PROCESS

How work on a project is structured

  1. 1

    Audit and access setup

    We connect to Metrica, GSC and Webmaster, run a technical and content audit, and record the baseline.

  2. 2

    Semantics and growth-point prioritization

    We build and cluster the semantic core around intent and niche.

  3. 3

    Brief for the developer and copywriter

    We put together a technical brief for site improvements and content.

  4. 4

    Implementation

    Technical fixes, publication of optimized content, and work on the backlink profile.

  5. 5

    Visibility monitoring and fine-tuning

    We track rankings, indexing and behavioral metrics.

  6. 6

    Reporting and roadmap review

    Regular reporting on leads, calls and cost per lead, with an updated plan.

We work under contract. The final quote is set after an audit and scoping.

"Before working with Aegis Reputation Lab's SEO department, most bookings across the chain's properties came through aggregators and OTAs — SEO was treated as a cost line with no clear return. Within six months, direct bookings from organic traffic grew across all the chain's locations, including properties abroad, and the cost of acquiring a booking through the site dropped below the OTA channel. We also value that they report in bookings and revenue, not rankings."

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How soon will we see the first results?

The first technical effects are visible within 4-6 weeks. A noticeable increase in leads and bookings usually shows up from month 3, with a sustained effect from six months onward.

How is working with Yandex different from Google?

Yandex weighs region, behavioral factors and commercial signals more heavily; Google relies more on the backlink profile, E-E-A-T and technical quality. We run both strategies in parallel.

Do you work with our niche?

Our core expertise is construction, hotels and HoReCa, B2B services, and SEO agencies (white-label). For other niches, we discuss it on a free consultation call.

What if the semantic core was already built by a previous contractor?

We'll check it for relevance and intent match, keep what's useful, and fill in what's missing.

How do you calculate cost per lead?

We set up call tracking and analytics goals, linking organic visits to leads and calls. Cost per lead is SEO spend for the period divided by the number of qualifying inquiries.

Do you work with sites built on Tilda, Bitrix or a website builder?

Yes, we work with most CMS platforms, including Tilda and Bitrix. We make some changes ourselves and hand the rest off to your developer as a technical brief.
