MagTimes case studies show what actually happened on a real engagement. We share the brief, the work, the numbers and the limitations, so the result is useful and comparable to your own situation.
How we write a case study
- We start with the client’s real business problem and the metric that mattered.
- We document the work that was shipped, in plain language, with named tactics.
- We report the result in the same units the client uses, with caveats and a date range.
- We link to the sources, screenshots and external coverage so the result is verifiable.
What we will not do
We will not inflate numbers, fake screenshots, or hide the work that did not work. If a tactic under-performed, it is in the case study too.
SaaS technical SEO audit & refresh
Independent SaaS in the project management space. Brief: clean up crawl waste, fix Core Web Vitals on the pricing page, and earn three contextual links to the comparison page. Work shipped: redirect map, 14 template fixes, internal link plan, two HARO expert quotes, one original benchmark. Limitation: the +38% is a like-for-like comparison, not a controlled test.
FinTech digital PR campaign
Brief: position a FinTech founder on the editorial map. Work shipped: 1 original data study, 4 targeted journalist pitches, 1 opinion column, follow-up cadence of 4 emails. Limitation: editorial placements are not guaranteed, and the Wikipedia reference was earned via independent coverage, not the campaign directly.
HealthTech link gap analysis
Brief: replace low-relevance links with editorial placements on HealthTech publications. Work shipped: 11-name prospect list, 22 personalized pitches, 4 follow-ups. Limitation: placement rates are realistic, not guaranteed; this case shows our actual numbers from a 60-day sprint.
EdTech content cluster build
Brief: build a citation-ready content cluster around one EdTech topic. Work shipped: topical map, 6 pillar pages, 28 supporting pages, evidence-led definitions, author bios, schema. Limitation: AI citations are tracked from a sample of public answer engines, not all engines.
Crypto & Web3 thought leadership
Brief: build founder authority ahead of a product launch. Work shipped: research brief, 1 op-ed, 6 podcast pitches, 1 long-form interview, 12 newsletter placements. Limitation: podcasts and newsletters are not link-equivalent; the value is brand search and entity coverage.
Local business SEO rebuild
Brief: rebuild a multi-location local SEO foundation. Work shipped: 4 location pages, NAP cleanup, 38 local citations, review response template. Limitation: local pack rankings fluctuate; results are reported for the 6-week average, not the best day.
What you can ask for in your own case study
- The exact brief, the exact tactics shipped, and the exact time period.
- Named publications, screenshots and verifiable links.
- The metrics that did not move, not just the ones that did.
- A signed letter of consent before we publish.

Frequently asked questions
Are the numbers verified?
Yes. Every case study is signed off by the client, with named screenshots and sources. We do not publish a case study without consent.
Do you share the full strategy?
We share the tactics shipped and the result, not the proprietary playbook. If you want a deeper walkthrough, we can do a paid strategy call.
Can I be a case study?
Yes, if the engagement ran for at least 60 days and you can sign a consent letter. Contact us to discuss.
