From 0 to 750 clicks - Planned since Day One


This SaaS founder didn't have any traffic 12 months ago.

He didn't because, well, they haven't even launched their website.

He had no content architecture. No strategy. And just some ideas.

12 months later they get around 650-750 clicks per day.

What's impressive isn't just the numbers—it's what we DIDN'T do:

Random blogs. Thousands spent on backlinks. None of that.

All done with a systematic approach most agencies ignore.

10 lessons from taking this client from 0 to 20K per month:

1) Architecture before content.

Everyone wants to publish 100 articles tomorrow.

But without a topical map first, you're building a house without a blueprint.

We spent the first 4 weeks mapping their entire content ecosystem.

The result? Every piece of content knew its job.

2) Bulk-publishing creates topical authority faster

Most agencies drip 4 articles per month for 12+ months.

The team pushed hundreds of new pages monthly from day one.

The "content machine" compounds faster when you feed it fuel upfront.

3) Technical issues addressed early

Starting with a blank slate, the client had the opportunity to address every technical issue before launching.

No amount of great content works without a great technical foundation.

And it showed.

Traffic started moving immediately after launch.

4) Product (Market) gaps are hidden goldmines.

The client found an unaddressed niche.

We found keywords with low competition + shortage of quality tools.

Human content + AI + programmatic SEO moved the SEO needle very fast.

Ranked in days. Thousands of visitors followed.

5) Content clusters create authority.

Random blog posts get random results.

Interconnected content clusters signal depth and expertise.

Google rewards comprehensive coverage, not one-off articles.

6) Data drives everything.

We used keyword research, audience insights, and performance metrics to build their editorial calendar.

No guesswork. No gut feelings.

Just data telling us exactly what to create.

7) Most sites lack information architecture.

Not just for readers—for crawl bots too.

Proper site structure helps Google understand what you're about.

This alone can 2-3x your traffic without new content.

8) Semantic SEO compounds.

When you become THE authority on a topic, Google trusts you for related topics too.

That trust snowballs faster than most people realize.

9) The first 120 days set the trajectory.

We don't do 12-month "test phases."

4-month sprints with aggressive execution.

By month 5, the trajectory is clear. By month 7, it's undeniable.

10) Systems beat tactics.

This wasn't a one-off win.

The same framework works for every client:

  • Topical mapping
  • Content clusters
  • Technical foundation
  • Systematic execution

We've replicated these results across dozens of companies now.

The best part? The client's team learned the system.

You can learnt these systems too.

I taught most of these concepts on the Topical Map Templates and the Content Architecture Masterclass workshops.

These are included in the Blak Friday SEO Growth Bundle:

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.

I’m not kidding—I’ve seen it happen over and over. The Secret? "Rank Enhancement." Real Life Example from last year 2xing this client in 3...
