Most startups treat content like confetti—throw enough pieces in the air and hope something magical happens. They publish daily (AI, or real, doesn't matter) and then wonder why their traffic flatlines after months of "consistent" effort. Here's what they're missing: 👏 s 👏 truc 👏ture. Or better said: proper structure. The Blog Blasting TrapI see this pattern everywhere: Monday: "10 Marketing Tips for SaaS" Random topics. No connection. No strategy. Google sees this scattered approach and thinks: "This site doesn't know what it's about." Your readers think the same thing (if they ever make it to your site). The real winners in the startup world do it differently. The Content Scaffold MethodInstead of blog blasting, we build a content scaffold—a strategic framework where every piece has a purpose and supports the whole structure. Here's how it works: 1. Start with Pillar Pages (Your Foundation) These are your main topic areas. 2. Build Content Clusters (Your Support Beams) Each pillar gets 10-15 supporting articles that link back to it. 3. Connect Everything (Your Framework) Internal links create pathways between related content. Google follows these paths and understands your topical authority.

Last night I went to a fancy restaurant for dinner. I was excited because they served the wine using a device that extracts the wine without opening the bottle. —it uses a needle to extract the wine, so it doesn't oxidize— With this device, restaurants can make more money selling expensive wine by the glass. Consumers also benefit, they get amazing wine without needing to pay a full bottle. And they make it easier for you to get a hangover with great wine. (which is my case today) My...
SEO means "Search Engine Optimization", but what most people miss is the "Optimization" part. What it looks like in real life: before you publish a new page, you want the ones ranking to go higher.
