Back-door broad-keyword posts into use-case pages
Publish a broad search-intent article, then route the reader into a tighter use-case or integration page where your product solves the job more directly.
Why this can grow a startup
A buyer may search the broad category before they are ready to search your product. The broad article earns the click, and the internal link moves the reader into a page with sharper commercial intent once they trust the explanation. It is a gentler handoff than forcing the product pitch too early.
Source-backed example
