My 10-Step SEO Process (We used this process to drive millions of clicks for our clients) 1. Basic Tech SEO. - Setup GA, GSC, robots.txt, sitemap.xml - Provide a good user experience - Make sure your website is mobile-friendly - Eliminate duplicate content 2. Speed Up Your Website. - Use WP Rocket if you’re using WordPress to significantly speed up your site - Otherwise, Use Compressor io to losslessly compress all your images - Use lazy-loading to defer non-critical elements - Enable caching with Cloudflare 3. Find 200-300+ target keywords. - Define 5-10+ seed keywords - Run these seed keywords through Semrush - Set keyword difficulty to 0 to 20 - Extract all relevant keywords - Rinse repeat for higher difficulty keywords - Rinse repeat for other seed keywords - Once you’re done, run all keywords you find through ChatGPT - Ask it to generate even more target keywords 4. Create SEO Landing Pages. - Create 10-50+ SEO landing pages for your high buyer-intent keywords - Interlink these pages in your navbar and footer - Make sure all (relevant) blogs you publish link to these landing pages 5. Optimize Your SEO Landing Pages. - Mention your target keyword in H1, H2, and body - Include SEO-friendly FAQ at the end of the landing - Include semantically related keywords throughout the page - Keep top of the page for describing your product(s) or service(s) - Use the bottom half to include search-optimized content - When interlinking these landing pages, use relevant keywords as anchors 6. Setup Content Operations. - Aim for 10-20+ articles published/month - Create content outlines and pass them on to your writers - Hire 2-5+ freelance (or in-house) content writers - Regularly edit and oversee content ops - Make sure that all your content is better than competitors 7. Setup Regular Interlinking. - Make sure that all your newly published content links to older posts - At the end of every month, actively interlink old/new content - The more internal links you have/build, the better 8. Competitor Backlink Audit. - Run your competitors through Semrush - Set filters to do-follow, one link per domain, active - Export to CSV - Eliminate all links from spammy/low quality domains - Estimate total number of backlinks for competitor - Subtract YOUR backlink total to competitor’s - Divide that number by 12 to estimate monthly link target - E.g. if the gap is 100 links, you need 8 links / month to catch up 9. Setup Link-Building Operations. - Get PitchBox (thank me later) and warm-up/setup 5 outreach emails - Set up guest posting, link-building, and blog category campaigns - Send out a minimum of 3,000 outreach emails per month - Run 20+ campaigns per month - Include an offer in your outreach emails (why should they link to you?) 10. Ongoing Operations. - Regularly analyze your rankings and find improvements for your content - Make sure you’re publishing more/better content than competitors - Make sure you’re building more/better links than competitors

The bottom line: Stop guessing why competitors outrank you. 1. Analyze their link profile 2. Break down the numbers 3. Copy their ratios 4. Execute systematically You're not reinventing the wheel - just replicating what works.
