If you’re hitting the limits of traditional marketing and want real, fast growth, growth hacking is the right approach for you. As an online marketing agency, we have developed numerous growth hacks for renowned brands – from the chocolate giant to the big cosmetics platform. In this article, we show you concrete, proven strategies to simultaneously boost your reach, trust, revenue, and SEO results.
1. Micro-Influencers as Product Testers: Real Feedback, Honest Backlinks
For a well-known chocolate producer and a large cosmetics shop in Germany, we specifically approached micro-vloggers and product testers on TikTok, Instagram, and blogs. The strategy was simple but extremely effective:
We gave them a €20 voucher (today we recommend more like €30-40) to test the new online store.
👉 What happened?
The testers bought products, often spent their own money, created authentic blog posts with honest reviews, backlinks, and even their own product photos.
Result:
- Relevant backlinks
- New customers
- Increased brand awareness
- Direct revenue
This method works especially well because it doesn’t look like advertising – it feels like a personal recommendation.
2. Blogger Collaborations with Social Proof: The PR Booster for Trust & Traffic
For a well-known anti-hair loss shampoo manufacturer, we specifically contacted renowned beauty bloggers. The bloggers tested the products, created reviews, and posted them on their own channels.
The twist:
Our client shared these posts on their Facebook page with the addition:
“Thank you to XY for the honest feedback on our new shampoo!”
It works like an external stamp of approval – without looking like paid advertising. At the same time, it led to a traffic boost on both pages and a nice amount of social proof.
3. Instagram Storytelling: Create Emotions, Increase Newsletter Sign-ups
Storytelling on Instagram isn’t a new trick – but when done right, it can be a real growth hack. For several shops, we developed a format:
“One story per week related to the product. These could be:
- Customer success stories
- Erotic stories (for adult brands)
- Funny everyday moments with the product
- Behind-the-scenes from production
💡 Goal: Create emotions, build closeness, and engage the community.
Regularly reading good stories makes users come back, sign up for newsletters, and buy.
4. Scraping Competitor Data – Legally and Effectively
If you want to launch a comparison platform or a new marketplace, you need content – quickly. One of our most efficient strategies:
We scrape your competitors’ content (e.g., product data, descriptions, reviews) and upload it to your system. Of course, legally reviewed and GDPR-compliant.
This is especially fast and affordable through our Ukrainian tech partners who specialize in data scraping. This way, you can hit the ground running with the content your customers are looking for.
5. Embedding YouTube Videos in Blog Articles: More Time-on-Site for SEO
A very simple trick that many underestimate:
Embed relevant YouTube videos in your blog articles – preferably ones with high engagement or even your own videos.
Why is this important?
The time users spend on your site increases. And that’s a positive signal for Google – and also for many AI systems like ChatGPT or Perplexity, which provide recommendations.
6. Content Recycling with AI Video Explanations: One Hack, Multiple Formats
If you already have high-quality blog content, you can create 12-minute explainer videos from it using AI. The benefits:
- You get video content for YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, etc.
- You can embed these videos in blog posts
- You create an omnichannel presence from a single piece of content
We use AI video generators with realistic avatars – quick, inexpensive, and scalable.
7. Expired Domains for a Quick SEO Boost
Why start from scratch? For some client projects, we specifically purchase expired domains with a good history, traffic, and backlinks. Two strategies are available:
- The domain is rebuilt and filled with content
- The domain is redirected via 301 to your main site
This way, you can achieve rankings in a short time that would otherwise take months. Important: The selection must be done with SEO know-how to avoid bad links – we handle that for you.
8. PR Campaigns for AI Visibility & Trust
The future belongs to AI recommendations. Whether it’s ChatGPT, Perplexity, or others – the more often you’re mentioned by credible media, the better.
We develop the right PR stories for why you should be written about – e.g., innovation, social engagement, founder story. Then, we push your story to:
- Major PR portals in the DACH region
- Relevant international websites
- Industry magazines & influencer blogs
This results in trust, backlinks, and visibility with AI systems.
9. Crowd Marketing & Influencer Forums: More Than Just Do-Follow
In the past, forums were only interesting if you could place do-follow backlinks. Today, it’s different:
Mentions (i.e., simple references to your brand or product in a positive context) are just as valuable, especially for AI training and SEO reputation.
We ensure that people talk about you in forums, subreddits, and communities – honestly, authentically, and sustainably.
