Apruve is a payment platform that works with enterprise businesses to automate B2B invoicing with a combination of embedded trade credit, A/R automation, and next-day financing. The company was interested in creating content that would not only rank, but educate their customers.

Apruve partnered with Fire&Spark to create an SEO project plan that would allow them to update and consolidate their existing content, as well as create new content, to overcome these challenges and hit Apruve’s short and long term SEO goals.
