The challenge

Where things started.

Practical Islamic Finance offers halal stock and crypto screening, investment research, portfolio analysis, managed portfolio insights, educational content and an investor community.

The platform needed a stronger digital foundation. Its website, SEO structure and content were not organised around search intent, or around the different needs of people looking for halal investing and Islamic finance information. The goal was to make the platform easier to discover and to connect its educational content, resources and services.

Practical Islamic Finance case study results: organic visits per month from 1K to 78K, 3M+ search impressions, 4,500+ ranking keywords, 365+ #1 rankings, +78% organic leads
