Focus on buying-intent topics
Informational traffic alone will not grow revenue. Prioritize topics that align with a service decision.
Examples include pricing, timelines, implementation steps, and common objections.
Ship structured metadata on every page
Page title, description, canonical URL, Open Graph tags, and sitemap coverage should be standard for every post.
Structured metadata improves index quality and increases click-through rate from search.
- -One clear keyword theme per post
- -Internal links to service pages and case studies
- -Updated publish dates when content changes meaningfully
Measure business outcomes, not only traffic
Tie analytics to lead events: form submit, call booking, and WhatsApp click.
A smaller traffic stream with stronger intent often beats vanity traffic from broad terms.
