SEO, Telegram, & a Working System: Our Case for Growth
1 Channel. 3 Months. Full-Stack Brand Content with Results
When the head of a well-known SEO company came to us, he wasn’t looking for “just posting.” He wanted to turn their official Telegram channel into a smart media outlet with a strong brand voice.
No faceless SEO reposts. No dry regurgitated news. The goal? Make the channel recognizably theirs and actually useful for their audience.
The Challenge: From Silent to Strategic
Here’s what the client needed:
- Curated SEO and digital marketing news
- Expert commentary and trend breakdowns, written from the brand’s POV
- Development of a clear, recognizable tone of voice
- Full editorial calendar planning and execution
- Ad buying and promotion strategy (channels + creatives)
- Creation of branded visuals and native promo formats
Basically: build a media product inside a messenger app: with content, strategy, and monetization in sync.
IGTL Solution: Newsroom Meets Brand Studio
Step 1: Market Scan & Editorial Rules
Before writing a single post, our content marketer mapped the Telegram landscape: the most active SEO and iGaming channels, their formats, Tone of Voice, and engagement tactics.
This research became the foundation for:
- Competitor benchmarking: what works, what doesn’t
- Paid traffic strategy
- Daily monitoring of the information field
Together with the editor, content marketer developed a clear Telegram editorial policy with:
- ToV guidelines tailored for the niche
- Post formats with real examples
- Core principles for building a recognizable channel
Step 2: Brand-Led Visual Identity
Our design team created a lookbook for the channel: a visual system with fonts, colors, and branded graphic elements. Every post now carried a consistent visual anchor.
Step 3: Content Plan That Sells Expertise
- We launched with a one-month content plan built for both audience growth and lead generation:
- Posting 5 days/week: 3 news or useful insights, 2 posts with in-depth industry analysis or personal brand storytelling
- Marketing funnels mapped to each post type, with KPIs for performance tracking
- Weekly briefings with the client to collect fresh expertise and company updates
- Real-time content adaptation based on daily info monitoring
Step 4: Strategic Promotion & Native Ads
We handled end-to-end ad placement management, including:
- Selection of relevant Telegram channels for promotion
- Creation of 3 native ad creatives per month
The Result: Awareness, Engagement, Growth
After 1 month:
- ER: 18.6% (Telegram average: ~8–12%)
- EPR: 75% — 3 out of 4 posts triggered high engagement (forwards, reactions, and shares)
- Post reach: 72% average
- First long-form post was picked up by 4 SEO channels and quoted in industry chats
After 3 months:
- Subscriber growth: +370%
- ER held steady at 17–19%, despite audience growth
- EPR increased to 62% and showing consistent relevance
- 6 inbound requests for partnerships/webinars via Telegram
- The client cited the channel as a driver for thought leadership visibility
