ZoomInfo transformed its search strategy with Semrush for Enterprise, fueling a market leadership after a complete brand repositioning.
Search becomes a positioning superpower
ZoomInfo leveraged organic search to successfully reposition it from contact database to an AI-driven go-to-market (GTM) intelligence platform:
- +373% increase in share of voice
- Significant gains in brand visibility among executive buyers
- Fast-tracked category leadership in the GTM space
Shift brand narratives and lead a new category
ZoomInfo is a leader in B2B data and sales intelligence, powering GTM strategies for thousands of companies.
In 2024, the business launched a major strategic pivot: repositioning from a contact database platform to the definitive GTM intelligence platform. This shift required ZoomInfo to expand their search strategy and target an entirely new competitive space.
As ZoomInfo set out to define the GTM Intelligence category, the team faced critical challenges:
- Establishing authority in a new competitive landscape
- Identifying keywords and topics that resonate with GTM-focused decision-makers
- Aligning legacy content and SEO efforts with the new positioning
This wasn't just about online visibility. It was supporting a complete business transformation. The SEO team needed enterprise-grade insights to help the brand lead in a newly defined category, fast.
Strategic SEO at enterprise scale
ZoomInfo partnered with Semrush Enterprise to power their transformation through a multi-stage approach that realigned SEO with their new positioning.
Market intelligence & competitive analysis
Using Semrush for Enterprise's Market Analysis and Competitive Intelligence tools, ZoomInfo identified leading players and emerging challengers in the GTM space. They benchmarked competitors based on visibility, backlinks, and authority, then mapped high-potential keyword clusters and content opportunities. This formed the foundation of their revamped search roadmap.
Content optimization & creation
With Semrush Enterprise's Content Analysis and Optimization workflows, the team refreshed existing content to align with high-value GTM themes. They then built a pipeline of high-performing new assets targeting crucial executive-level audiences.
Real-time performance tracking
