Reality Defender

Scaling a deepfake detection platform for visibility, trust, and conversion.
Overview

Reality Defender is a real-time AI platform that detects deepfakes and synthetic media. Built for high-risk sectors like government, finance, and media, it protects institutions from misinformation, fraud, and manipulated content.

Despite strong technology and design, the site wasn’t converting. The message wasn’t landing, and the platform wasn’t ranking for the terms that mattered. Reality Defender needed a site that could explain complex tools in simple terms—and attract serious buyers.

Digital NYC was brought in to build a transparent, compliant, and scalable system that supported SEO, guided buyers through the product, and helped turn visibility into real traction.

Challenges

Before the rebuild, the site had several significant gaps:

  • Low search visibility for critical commercial keywords
  • No structured SEO system or content plan
  • Disjointed experience across industries and user types
  • Lack of trust signals for institutional and public sector buyers
  • No clear path to conversion

The product was credible, but the site didn’t tell the story, and it wasn’t getting found.

Solution

Digital NYC created a strategy that combined SEO, UX, and content into one system, aligned with how decision-makers research, evaluate, and act.

1. User Journey Redesign

We rebuilt the navigation and layout around three primary industries: media, finance, and government. Each sector had its own tailored experience, showing how Reality Defender solved its specific risks—like voice cloning, document forgery, or manipulated video.

Content blocks were shortened. CTAs were repositioned. Pages were made faster, more transparent, and easier to act on.

Targeting Strategy

To prioritize the right users, we worked with the internal team to define three key segments:

  • Public sector decision-makers
  • Compliance leads in finance
  • Editorial, legal, and content teams in media

Each was tied to a high-risk use case. Navigation and messaging were then mapped to their needs, pain points, and preferred language.

This made the site feel relevant—without needing multiple versions or layers of explanation.

2. Messaging and Content

All core pages were rewritten to be clear, direct, and buyer-friendly—without simplifying down the technology.

Deliverables included:

  • Solution pages by industry
  • Product explainers for each capability
  • Scannable FAQ blocks for procurement
  • A blog system built for both thought leadership and SEO
  • Conversion-focused demo and contact flows

The goal is to make it easy for qualified visitors to understand the value and take action.

3. SEO Foundation

A long-term SEO system was built:

  • Keyword research and mapping
  • Metadata and schema updates
  • Internal linking and site structure overhaul
  • SEO-focused CMS templates
  • Accessibility and mobile speed optimization

The system was designed to scale—so the internal team could grow visibility over time without starting from zero.
