​⚡ How a "Top 10 Causes of MOT Failures" Campaign Landed links in Mirror (DR90), The Sun (DR94), and 15 other news websites

Fery from Search Intelligence shares a new case study, this time about how they developed a “Top 10 Causes of MOT Failures” campaign that landed massive links in Mirror (DR90), The Sun (DR94), and 15 other news websites:

• They downloaded 38 million MOTs from the UK DVLA website.
• They used Python and data manipulation software to sort the data.
• They filtered the data and selected only the failed MOTs.
• Then they grouped the tests by cause of failure.
• They sorted the list by the most frequent cause: Tyres were the most common reason for cars to fail their MOT, followed by suspension coil springs and headlight aim.
• They wrote up a report based on their findings.
