Where it started

What Matosurf needed

Board sports readers look for evidence that someone has actually surfed the break, beyond a spot name and a product link. Buyers value that first-hand proof, and search engines are getting better at recognising it too.

What we did

Content marketing case study: how we went about it

Seven board sports covered across four geographic zones, forty-eight French spots, a hundred and twenty guides, built on a visible editorial method page that states plainly how the content is researched, so the authority comes with the work shown.

Where it landed

What changed for Matosurf

Forty-eight French spots and a hundred and twenty guides covering seven board sports, backed by a public editorial method page.
