About Client

20lab.app is a web-based platform that enables users to create ERC-20 tokens without manually coding smart contracts. The product is designed for Web3 founders, startups, NFT communities, and entrepreneurs looking to launch a cryptocurrency quickly and without deep technical complexity.

The primary focus market was the United States, one of the most competitive regions for crypto-related search queries.

At the beginning of the project, the platform had visibility and traffic, but lacked stable Top 3 rankings for high-intent commercial keywords. Organic search was not yet a predictable growth channel.

Project Goals

1. Secure Top 3 Rankings for Core Commercial Queries

Rank in Google US for high-intent keywords like “create a crypto token” and “crypto coin maker.”

2. Increase Non-Branded Organic Traffic

Grow transactional organic traffic from the United States.

3. Strengthen Topical Authority

Expand semantic coverage around ERC-20 tokens and token creation mechanics.

4. Improve Engagement Signals

Increase engagement rate and support ranking stability through UX improvements.

5. Reduce Paid Traffic Dependency

Turn SEO into a scalable long-term acquisition channel.

🎯 The Challenge

The crypto token generator niche is highly competitive. Established platforms already dominated the majority of high-commercial intent queries.

Although 20lab had a functional and technically solid product, the main generator page lacked deep semantic coverage and full alignment with both informational and transactional search intent. Competitors had broader keyword footprints and stronger internal SEO structures.

To compete in the US market, we needed more than basic optimization — we needed to turn the generator page into a high-authority commercial asset.

🚀 Our Approach

Commercial Cluster Domination

Instead of spreading efforts across multiple topics, we focused on a single high-value semantic cluster centered around token creation:

create a crypto token
create cryptocurrency
create a crypto coin
create a coin
crypto coin maker
make your own cryptocurrency

The /generate/ page became the strategic growth driver.

We rebuilt its heading structure (H1–H3), expanded semantic depth around ERC-20 tokens, smart contracts, gas fees, token supply mechanics, and added FAQ blocks targeting long-tail queries. Metadata was optimized to improve click-through rate for competitive commercial keywords.

Rather than creating multiple thin landing pages, we consolidated authority into one powerful, highly relevant commercial page.

🔥 Why this works: instead of chasing hundreds of keywords, we built one unbeatable page that owns the entire commercial intent around token creation.

Intent Alignment & UX Optimization

Ranking in competitive crypto niches requires strong behavioral signals.

We improved clarity of the token creation process, simplified explanations for non-technical users, and enhanced trust elements across the page. The user flow from landing to token generation was streamlined to reduce friction and increase interaction.

The page evolved from a simple tool interface into a conversion-oriented landing page capable of satisfying both informational and transactional intent.

By concentrating on a high-intent commercial keyword cluster, aligning the core page with multiple search intents, and reinforcing it through structural SEO improvements, we transformed organic search into a scalable acquisition channel.

Frequently Asked Questions

Their #1 ranking sits under an AI Overview. Doesn’t that kill the clicks?

It cuts into them, yes. AI Overviews reduce CTR on position #1 across niches. But here’s the thing: ranking #1 is how you get inside the AI Overview to begin with. The screenshot in the case study shows 20lab directly below the AI box — that’s a citation candidate, not a traffic victim. Being invisible below page two is the bad outcome. The zero-click problem is real; not ranking is worse.

Why consolidate into one page instead of separate pages for each keyword?

Because separate pages for “create a crypto token,” “crypto coin maker,” and “make your own cryptocurrency” create cannibalization. Google has to pick one, and it might pick none. These keywords share the same intent — someone wants to build a token now, not next week — so a single deep page captures every variation. Split the intents when they’re actually different. Here they aren’t.

Does a crypto ranking survive Google core updates or does it eventually collapse?

Crypto is YMYL territory, so it gets harder scrutiny. The sites that get hit by core updates are usually thin affiliate pages and anonymous review farms — not functional product pages with real user engagement. A page people actually use is harder to penalize. That said, nothing holds forever without maintenance. Keep the content updated, keep the tool working well, keep the behavioral signals strong. Let it go stale and a better-resourced competitor will eventually overtake it.

If Google and Meta mostly block crypto ads, how did this site grow before SEO?

Crypto ads aren’t completely blocked — they require platform certification and restrict certain claims, but a token creation tool can run compliant Google campaigns with the right account approval. Before SEO compounded, most crypto products grow through organic social, Discord and Telegram, and developer forums. The case study says 20lab already had “visibility and traffic” before the engagement — a working product with some audience, just no stable rankings for the queries that actually drive conversions.

What did “UX improvements” actually mean here?

The case study doesn’t say explicitly. But the pattern is predictable: simplify the tool explanation for non-technical visitors, reduce the clicks between landing and doing something, add trust signals. The engagement rate of 55% with a 44% bounce rate is solid for a crypto tool — most visitors interacted rather than immediately leaving. Google uses those behavioral signals as a ranking factor. A page that confuses people and sends them back to search actively hurts your position.

“Create a crypto token” — is that buyer traffic or just curious people?

Buyer intent, pretty clearly. “What is a crypto token” is informational. “Create a crypto token” is someone who wants to build something today. The +39% new users and 55% engagement rate in GA4 back this up — pure curiosity traffic shows up as 80% bounce rates and 20-second sessions. That’s not what the data shows. The audience stayed and used the tool.

Why target the US if crypto is global?

Winning the most competitive market first does the most structural work. Domain authority and link signals built on US search carry across regions. The use case here — token creation for Web3 founders — also maps heavily to US startup culture. And practically: a page that holds a top-3 position in the US is a genuinely strong page. Something half-optimized might rank in a smaller market. It won’t hold here, so you end up building something that travels.

How do you get real backlinks for a crypto site?

Three channels work: editorial coverage in crypto media (CoinDesk, Decrypt, The Block), listings in Web3 directories and developer resource lists, and organic mentions in Reddit threads where someone recommends the tool. The case study language — “supporting pages,” “reinforced contextual relationships” — is internal linking talk, not external. But crypto sites usually have thin link profiles, which means a handful of quality placements actually move rankings. The bar is lower than in mature niches, which cuts both ways.
