Where the project began
A marketing team with several competing web systems
True Influence did not have the simple problem of needing more blog posts. It sold demand-generation and account-based marketing software, with buyers moving between main-site pages, subdomains and Marketo landing pages. Behind that experience were indexing inconsistencies, duplicate content and headings and metadata that did not always tell search engines—or prospects—which page mattered.
Those problems are especially frustrating inside a B2B organisation. Marketing wants campaigns launched, developers have competing priorities and different systems have different owners. A long SEO audit might describe every issue accurately and still leave the team wondering what to fix first. The real challenge was to make the website behave like one coherent buyer journey and give the people running it a plan they could actually use.
What the team worked on
A strategy the internal team could put into practice
Pearl Lemon worked with True Influence's marketing team for more than a year. The work covered technical reviews of duplication, headings, metadata, performance and subdomain indexing, while treating Marketo campaign pages as part of the same search estate rather than a separate concern.
One detail tells you more about the engagement than a stack of audit screenshots: we used a shared recommendations sheet with owners, timelines and priorities. When a page had a problem, it needed someone responsible for resolving it. That turns SEO from an external consultant's wishlist into a working programme. Alongside that, the team mapped account-based marketing and demand-generation searches to content with an actual buyer purpose.
The historical account also records backlink reviews and disavow-file preparation. Those were specific actions in this engagement, not a general prescription for every business. What mattered was deciding which technical and content problems deserved attention, explaining why and making progress possible inside an existing marketing operation.
What the record shows
The value of a clear, accountable search programme
This is not a case where we can responsibly print a dramatic revenue multiple. The public historical material supports a year-plus engagement, identifiable technical and content work, and a collaborative implementation process; it does not provide an independently verified series of qualified leads or sales attributable to the programme.
That does not make the story uninteresting. If your business has already invested in content, marketing technology and developers, another generic SEO checklist is unlikely to unlock much. What you may need is a senior perspective on the entire search journey: which pages matter commercially, which systems undermine them and who needs to do what next.
That is the consulting conversation this engagement illustrates. I would start by walking through the main site and campaign destinations, look at where genuine buyers enter and leave, then leave the team with a ranked plan they can own. Where execution support is needed, Pearl Lemon can work alongside that team rather than compete with it.

Where I would start on your website
Make a complex B2B website discoverable by people researching an actual demand-generation purchase.
- 1Inventory every public subdomain, CMS and campaign landing-page pattern; identify duplicates, indexable templates and competing canonical URLs before rewriting content.
- 2Map buying-stage queries to one owner page per proposition: account-based marketing, intent data, demand generation and comparison intent should not all compete for the same broad query.
- 3Give internal engineering and marketing owners a versioned remediation queue: issue, affected URLs, decision maker, release date and verification method.
How to measure commercial progress
Track non-branded impressions and clicks to solution pages, qualified demo requests and CRM opportunities by landing page and market, with release annotations.
Your first decision
Can the internal team ship and verify recommended fixes, or is the engagement producing advice with no deployment owner?

Pearl Lemon historical B2B SEO report published February 2026. Read the original account
How to read the results
Duration and implementation scope support experience with complex B2B SEO, but the source's reported progress is not a verified closed-won pipeline or conversion assessment.
What better measurement could reveal
A dated technical backlog marked deployed, non-brand GSC visibility segmented by product, opportunity-source records and business-qualified lead conversion would support a commercial outcome.
