The challenge

What was the challenge?

An exchange that had just received its licence competed with global exchanges and affiliate sites. Searches like "buy bitcoin" and "is crypto legal" went to news sites and affiliates. The exchange needed visibility fast, with every page written to meet the regulator's marketing rules.

The strategy

What was the strategy?

  1. 01

    Build coin and price pages that rank for "buy [coin]" searches

  2. 02

    Make the licence and safety story clear and verifiable

  3. 03

    Get named by AI assistants when users ask where to buy crypto safely

The playbook

What exactly was done?

4 moves, each with what was done and why it mattered.

  1. 01Site structure

    Coin and price pages

    Built pages for 80 coins with live prices, how to buy in local currency, fees and risk warnings, in English and Arabic.

    Why it mattered: "Buy [coin]" searches are high-intent. Fast, useful coin pages captured them at scale.

  2. 02Trust

    Licence and safety pages

    Created pages on the exchange's licence, custody, proof of reserves and how to verify the exchange's licence.

    Why it mattered: "Is it safe" and "is it licensed" are the questions that decide sign-up. Clear, verifiable answers won them.

  3. 03Compliance

    Content that passes review

    Agreed approved wording and risk warnings with compliance, and kept all promotional claims out of guides.

    Why it mattered: Compliant content could be published quickly, which let the exchange keep pace with fast-moving crypto searches.

  4. 04AI search

    Named in AI answers

    Earned mentions in news coverage of crypto licensing and kept entity details consistent across the web.

    Why it mattered: AI assistants named the exchange when users asked about licensed exchanges.

The principles

What do I stand for?

  • Licence is the selling point

    In crypto, regulation is the reason to choose you. Make it impossible to miss.

  • Compliance enables speed

    Agreed wording means pages go live in days, not weeks.
