Summary

  • The site had near-zero organic visibility, no content strategy, missing technical SEO foundations, and copy that wasn't optimised for Indonesian-language search leaving a commercially active B2B audience unreachable through organic search.
  • Logink executed a three-month content programme targeting F&B industry search demand, paired with full on-page localisation in Bahasa Indonesia, schema markup implementation (Event, Organization, FAQPage), and technical SEO corrections.
  • In four months, organic clicks grew +463%, impressions increased +880%, and the site captured over 1,600 distinct search queries with organic traffic peaking sharply in April as the May event date approached.

About the client

The client organises an international B2B trade exhibition for the food and beverage industry, held annually at JIExpo Kemayoran, Jakarta. The 2026 edition was co-located with two complementary trade expos making it one of the largest multi-format F&B events in Southeast Asia. The event's primary audience includes food entrepreneurs, importers, distributors, hotel and restaurant procurement teams, cloud kitchen operators, and F&B investors. With over 1,200 exhibitors and an expected attendance of 30,000+ industry professionals, the organiser needed a digital presence capable of capturing search demand well ahead of the event date.

The challenge

Obstacles We Encountered

Near-Zero Organic Baseline

At the start of the engagement, the site had minimal organic traffic and effectively no SEO footprint. There were no indexed blog articles, no page-level keyword targeting, and almost no indexed content outside the core event pages making the site entirely absent from search results for any non-brand query.

No Structured Content Strategy

The site had no editorial content no articles, guides, or informational pages that could rank for the high-volume F&B industry search terms the target audience uses. Without content, there was no pathway to capture mid-funnel audiences such as aspiring food entrepreneurs, suppliers, or buyers researching the industry.

Missing Technical SEO Foundations

The homepage and core landing pages lacked structured data markup, limiting eligibility for rich results in Google Search. Without Event schema, the expo's core information was invisible to search engines in a machine-readable format. The absence of FAQPage schema also meant the site could not capture answer-box positions for high-frequency event-related queries.

Weak Indonesian-Language Optimisation

The site's original copy was written in English, which limited its reach with the primary target audience Indonesian F&B professionals who predominantly search in Bahasa Indonesia. Keyword alignment between page content and local search intent was poor, and heading structure did not reflect the semantic context Google uses to evaluate page relevance in Indonesian SERPs.

The strategy

Our Strategy and Solutions

Content Programme Built Around F&B Search Demand

Logink developed a three-month rolling content calendar targeting two keyword categories: Visibility (broad F&B industry education terms) and Exhibition (terms tied to expo participation, trade regulations, and F&B operations). The team published 10 articles per month 30 total across February, March, and April 2026.

High-volume targets included "jajanan kekinian" (13,000/mo), "bisnis f&b adalah" (5,600/mo), "moq adalah" (4,900/mo), and "cloud kitchen adalah" (800/mo)

Each article was written with a defined target keyword, search intent alignment, and internal link structure pointing to core event pages

Topics were selected for both search volume and audience relevance covering the practical questions real F&B entrepreneurs and operators ask

Homepage Copy Localisation with Keyword Integration

The entire homepage was rewritten in Bahasa Indonesia with keyword-informed headings (H1 through H3) and revised paragraph copy targeting terms like "food expo Indonesia," "F&B Expo," and "pameran internasional FnB." This directly improved keyword alignment between the page and Indonesian search queries, which was essential for improving the site's relevance signals in local SERPs.

Schema Markup Implementation

Logink implemented a full structured data package in JSON-LD covering three schema types:

Organization schema identifying the event organiser with contact details and social profiles

Event schema encoding the expo's name, dates, venue, and event status for Google's Event rich results

FAQPage schema covering 14 common questions about ticketing, participation, and logistics to improve SERP real-estate and click eligibility

Topical Authority Through Consistent Publication

Rather than publishing sporadically, the team maintained a consistent cadence of 10 articles per month over three months. Article topics were layered progressively foundational F&B industry explainers in February, regulatory and operational content in March, and high-volume adjacent topics in April to capture new audience segments as the event approached.
