Private detective agency: 100% visibility on 525 keywords in 2 months

A Russian detective agency offering everything from polygraph testing and bug-sweeping to vehicle-theft investigation and surveillance. Baseline TOP-10 visibility was 67%, but rankings on commercial Russian queries («сыскное агентство», «детективное агентство цены», «проверка на детекторе лжи цена») were unstable.

The owner asked for absolute leadership in the niche — TOP-1 on the maximum number of queries, with on-going SEO support throughout the year.

I ran parallel work across every SEO direction together with behavioural-factor reinforcement in Yandex.

• Rewrote every service-page text — from surveillance to polygraph testing — accounting for both commercial and informational intent in Russian search
• Reworked all meta tags (title, description) for 525 target queries with strict clustering
• Built internal linking between services, blog and landing pages
• Produced and published 100+ expert articles in Russian — from the legal side of private investigation to polygraph-examiner buying guides
• Strengthened external factors: backlinks from topical Russian sites
• Implemented full Schema.org markup: Organization, Service, FAQ, Article, BreadcrumbList
• Brought technical SEO to a polished state: speed, Core Web Vitals, mobile, sitemap, robots.txt
• Ran behavioural scenarios in Yandex with competitor-snippet skipping on priority queries

Within 2 months of active work, TOP-10 visibility hit 100% — every one of the 525 tracked queries entered the first page of Yandex. More than 500 queries took the TOP-1 position.

Key commercial Russian queries — «стоимость детективных услуг», «розыск угнанных автомобилей», «сыскное агентство», «проверка кабинета на прослушку» — sit firmly in first place. Even hard, high-competition queries such as «детективное агентство цены на услуги» (frequency 23) reached TOP-1.
