This lack of engagement was not generating natural links back to the Gaia website, which was crucial for improving the site's Domain Authority (DA). A low DA was hindering organic traffic to the site, which was negatively impacting Gaia's visibility and potential for growth. The company needed a solution that would not only increase its DA but also foster a deeper connection with its audience and promote organic growth. Read More
