Challenges before the start of collaboration

Before partnering with JetOctopus, OMcollective was facing increasing complexity in managing SEO for their expanding client portfolio - especially for large e-commerce or multi-site enterprises like Puratos with over 60 websites globally. Their existing toolkit, which included tools like Screaming Frog and SEMrush, could no longer keep pace with the scale, speed, and precision required.

“After some first checks and setups with Screaming Frog and SEMrush, we quickly decided we needed a stronger, cloud-based platform that helps us as an agency facilitate the manual work so we can focus more on the strategic work.”

  1. Manual Workload & Inefficient Monitoring

    With more than 10 active SEO clients and growing, OMcollective found it difficult to manually track the technical health of each domain. Monitoring crawl errors, log files, and indexation issues required hours of effort and was prone to oversight.

  2. Lack of Unified Insights

    The team struggled with fragmented data across multiple tools. Integrating crawl reports, Google Search Console data, and traffic analytics from GA4 lacked cohesion, limiting their ability to make timely, data-driven decisions.

  3. No Real-Time Detection System

    Critical issues such as crawl spikes, broken pages, or sudden ranking drops often went unnoticed until it was too late. Without a reliable alert system, OMcollective couldn’t act on anomalies in real time.

  4. Limited Visibility into Bot Behavior

    Understanding how Googlebot and other bots interacted with client websites was crucial - but existing tools lacked the capability to analyze log file data at scale. This made it hard to optimize crawling budgets or identify harmful bot activity.

  5. Scaling SEO for Global Brands

    Managing SEO across 60+ websites for Puratos required a centralized, flexible platform. Their previous setup couldn't accommodate project segmentation by country, domain, or issue type - making it difficult to localize strategy while maintaining global consistency.

Strategy and Execution

To overcome these challenges and scale their SEO operations, OMcollective turned to JetOctopus as their all-in-one technical SEO platform. With a strategic focus on automation, integration, and actionable insights, the agency reshaped how they deliver SEO services - especially for their largest client, Puratos.

Real-Time Alerts for Proactive SEO

OMcollective configured custom alerts to monitor key issues like crawl errors (404/503), ranking fluctuations, and unusual bot activity across all client sites.

OMcollective makes the most out of alerts to keep an eye on Puratos' global SEO - now possible in a few minutes every day. They no longer need to manually check anything.

With a one-time setup of the desired alerts in place, they just get instant notifications if something gets broken or rankings fluctuate (say, due to a product update). They check out the problem reports every week to stay one step ahead of any issues.

For example, they caught the Ahrefs bot hitting Puratos' sites way more than usual - more than Googlebot, even! They quickly updated the robots.txt to block it, keeping the competitors at bay and safeguarding Puratos' insights.

Alerts

“At OMcollective we are big fans of the alerts to keep an eye on all our clients very easily. Keeping an eye on the website hygiene of dozens of websites is now possible in a few minutes every day.”

Logfile Monitoring at Scale

Using JetOctopus’ log analyzer, the agency tracks Googlebot behavior, crawling frequency, and indexation trends across 60+ Puratos websites.

This gave them the ability to:

  • Detect unnecessary or harmful bot activity (like a spike from Ahrefs Bot)
  • Optimize crawl budgets
  • Prioritize high-impact pages
Logs

Integrated Data Stack: Logs + GSC + GA4

By linking logfiles, Google Search Console, and Google Analytics 4 data, OMcollective created a full-funnel view of each website's SEO health.

This holistic approach surfaced insights that siloed tools couldn't deliver such as linking crawl anomalies to traffic drops or Core Web Vitals trends.

Segmented Focus

OMcollective has thoughtfully used a flexible setting in JetOctopus called segments to identify Puratos’s SEO problems and opportunities across all page levels and data sets. It allows them to concentrate on Puratos’s focus countries, setting up specific projects within the platform that integrate logfile data with insights from Google Search Console and Google Analytics.

So, this 'segmented focus' approach enables them to precisely monitor and optimize for local issues. They can now create complex page Tiers based on attributes from different data layers: logs, GSC, CWV, internal linking, and other tech features.

By working with distinct segments, OMcollective can easily concentrate on the most promising and problematic website areas and run tests, thus enhancing Puratos’s overall SEO strategy and maximizing the efficacy of their campaigns in different markets.

Strategic Use of Presets

JetOctopus’s SEO Problems and Efficiency reports are reviewed weekly. These preset dashboards help the team prioritize tasks and uncover optimization opportunities without starting from scratch.

They even get expert technical SEO support from the JetOctopus team whenever required.
