About Renderforest

Renderforest is an all-in-one AI-powered branding platform offering video, logo, mockup, website, and graphic design tools to more than 30 million customers worldwide. The product could compete in AI video, but the brand was not being discovered for it.

02

The Challenge

AI video maker ranked fourth in the USA, while adjacent searches for AI cartoon, animation, commercial, and text-to-video tools sat outside the top ten. At the same time, AI assistants were beginning to drive referrals to SaaS websites, but Renderforest was rarely cited. The campaign needed to solve Google visibility and LLM discoverability together.

03

The Outcome

Renderforest reached number one for the most competitive AI video keywords and achieved measurable growth across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude. Organic traffic rose 34%, leads grew 11.6%, and revenue increased 9.44% during the six-month campaign.

Our Approach

SEO and AI Visibility as One Connected System

The Business Rover treated traditional rankings and LLM citations as reinforcing surfaces, giving Renderforest category presence in both at once.

01

Category landing-page expansion

We built dedicated pages for AI cartoon maker, AI animation generator, AI commercial generator, and text-to-video AI, each matched to a specific buyer intent.

02

Production-grade optimized content

Each landing page was written to category-leader depth with clear positioning, real use cases, comparison context, and a structure designed to rank and be cited.

03

Internal linking and authoritative backlinks

We rebuilt internal links so authority compounded across the AI video cluster and earned relevant backlinks from publications trusted by AI and creator-tool audiences.

04

AEO and LLM optimization

We analyzed cited sources for AI video queries, closed content gaps, and expanded brand mentions to improve visibility inside AI-generated answers.

Results

Why It Worked

01

Tight category focus

Every workstream served one goal: own the AI video space. No effort was diluted across unrelated product categories.

02

A cluster, not a page

An interconnected group of landing pages allowed relevance and link equity to compound across every AI video subcategory.

03

SEO and AEO together

Google rankings strengthened brand trust while LLM citations delivered pre-qualified visitors, allowing each channel to reinforce the other.
