About CN-Bio

The CN-Bio team aims to revolutionise the creation and support of organ-on-a-chip solutions by providing advanced technology that mimics human organs. 

Their vision is to use this technology to support drug discovery in a faster and more affordable way, with less reliance on animal testing.

Because the medical field is highly competitive, and researchers and institutions fight for funding, recognition, and innovation, CN-Bio understood that reaching its target audience requires more than owning and maintaining a website. 

It needed high-quality SEO consultancy and constant efforts.

Initial & Current SEO situation.

cn bio estimated trafic %

Visibility is measured by how often a website appears in search results. This metric uses the click-through rate (CTR), which shows how visible a website is in search results based on its tracked keywords.

The higher the percentage, the higher the positions on Google for the keywords included in a campaign.

Estimated traffic predicts how many people will visit a website based on its current position in search results.

The higher the visibility, the higher the estimated traffic.

In 2025, our joint efforts delivered even stronger results than before.

SEO Solutions, Approach & Implementation

Our goal is to ensure we understand our clients and their online performance. 

This strategy allows us to assess and discover areas of improvement and build the best strategy to follow. 

After carefully listening to CN-Bio’s objectives and goals to ensure that we understood the nature of their business and products, we started building an SEO strategy that included:

  • Initial Assessment of Visibility and Rankings

We analysed CN-Bio’s initial visibility and rankings to identify areas of improvement and set the best course of action.

  • Competitor Analysis 

Our next step was identifying its position amongst organic competitors/ businesses from the same industry.

After identifying key competitors, we analysed their strategies and performance to find insights into market trends, SEO approaches, and potential strategy gaps.

Challenges

One of the obstacles we faced was targeting a niche and narrow audience, as CN-Bio’s target audience consists of medical institutions and pharmaceutical companies. This aspect demanded we use highly customised SEO solutions to reach its target audience.

Another obstacle was all the Google core updates that caused fluctuations in rankings. These updates posed challenges to maintaining consistent progress or measuring the real progress of our SEO efforts.

Conclusion

CN-Bio’s results are showing positive progress, resulting in improved visibility, brand awareness, and more targeted traffic.

Even though we faced ranking fluctuations and challenges of targeting a niche audience in a competitive field, we achieved notable results through consistent research and efforts, helping CN-Bio achieve significant growth.

Fluctuations in rankings are a common experience since SEO is a continuous process part of a volatile field that requires constant monitoring and optimisation.
