How to get 100K visits/month in 6-12 months

Bold claim? Maybe. But after 15+ years doing SEO and helping startups like Tweet Hunter, Taplio, and Submagic scale their organic traffic, I know exactly what it takes. The problem is that most businesses are doing too much of the wrong stuff and not enough of the right stuff. Here’s the exact 7-step playbook I’d run on any project, from day one. 1) Build (or rebuild) a topical authority map first Before writing a single word, map out every cluster the business needs to own. You guys know I’m...

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 call this process "Rank Enhancement". It works like this: If you’ve been publishing content for a while. you might be one step away from explosive growth. 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...

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)...

The year I started my SEO agency, I made $100k (about €87K). One of the clients from that initial cohort ended up selling his SaaS businesses for $8,000,000. I helped him grow two SaaS: From 8K visits/month to 90K visits/month. From 120/mo to 120K/mo in 5 months. What I did wasn’t fancy, but it was something that no other SEO agency does. I'll explain what we did below. But this momentum was great validation for my business. If can I help others make millions, then I could make millions too!...

A company I worked with was acquired for $8MM. And it was the easiest, and fastest growing SEO I've done up until that moment. The company was a holding of two hot SaaS businesses that you've probably heard of: Tweet Hunter and Taplio. I still remember that spring day of 2022, I got lucky when Tibo (the owner) asked me for help with their SEO. I sent him a proposal over a Google Doc, he said "ok let's do it" in typical Tibo's way, and off we went! Thanks for the trust, Tibo! When I got into...
