After focusing on "sponsorship" (200,000 searches per year), UNICEF analyzed its internal keyword performance to expand its market, created content around "donation" (600,000 searches per year), and expanded into the "donation" market through advertising, social, and SEO. With just a small portion of the 600,000 "donate" market, the organization was able to capture a large amount of additional traffic and revenue. With a high-converting keyword mix, the organization was able to capture a high return on ad spend and expand its market, which had been stagnant for several years.
