The number of websites I see getting 1,000s/mo of SEO traffic to their blog but ZERO conversions is nuts.

"But how do I get more conversions???"

Here are the 5 things I tell them: 1. Collect emails with content upgrades

1. Publish and rank your blog post
2. Wait for 100-250 visitors/week

AI Overviews are starting to dominate Google.

Your SEO needs to include AIO (AI Optimisation).

Google is rolling out AI Overviews as we speak, replacing featured snippets and taking up prime real estate.

Here's how to optimise for AI Overviews: What are AI Overviews?

Google AI Overviews are AI-generated responses providing quick answers to searches.

They are displayed above traditional organic results and feature websites in the results.

Click-through rate (CTR) is at an all-time low in SEO.

Websites need to stand out on the results page to win the click.

Here are 8 ways how: 1. Write your title tags between 40 to 60 characters

Titles in this range have shown an 8.9% better average CTR than titles that are shorter or longer.

My first "SEO Heist" post got 15M views online and was discussed with Google's CEO in an interview.

SEO Heist = "Stealing" traffic from your competitors.

Here are 11 ways to do an SEO Heist: 1. Identify competitors

Identify your top competitors and make sure to differentiate between product competitors and SEO competitors.

But crucially:

How I create SEO content plans:

I flip the traditional funnel into a pyramid, then I start at the top.

This framework:

- Prioritises revenue
- Builds a content moat
- Earns backlinks naturally
- Scales organic traffic quickly

This thread breaks down the SEO Pyramid: 1. Convert

[Competitor] vs [You]

[Competitor] vs [Competitor] vs [You]
↳ Mailchimp vs ConvertKit vs Beehiiv

SEO is changing in 2025.

15 differences you need to know:

1. Old SEO:

I’ll optimise for featured snippets to win prime Google real estate.

New SEO:

I’ll optimise for featured snippets AND AI Overviews with short, direct ‘answer’ snippets within my content. 2. Old SEO:

I'll only focus on Google SEO.

New SEO:

I’ll optimise for other platforms as my users aren’t limited to one search engine.

Programmatic is THE biggest opportunity in SEO.

1. Use automation (like AI)
2. Create pages at an unprecedented scale
3. Target 1,000s of keyword variations

I've spent way too much time studying the very best programmatic SEO campaigns.

Wise generated 350,000+ currency converter pages in multiple languages and more than 60 country-specific sub-folders.

I have a friend who got 160,000 followers in 4 months.

So I asked him “how???”

His response: "I use pre-validated ideas and concepts with higher-quality writing and visuals to rapidly grow my following."

He then broke it down for me:

(But on the basis that I kept him anonymous - read to the end to see other creators with a similar system)

88,585 new traffic last month alone.
Growing 30% month-over-month.
6,255 leads and 2,227 paid signups total.

Here are the 5 things we did: 1. Technical Fixes

We ran an audit and fixed standard issues like:

- Canonical tags
- Broken internal links
- Missing titles/descriptions

But crucially:

I’ve used this internal linking strategy for 4+ years:

The Reverse Content Silo.

- Organises content
- Improves rankings
- Increases traffic

All at the same time.

Here’s how: Why use reverse content silos?

Reverse silos focus on building internal links to ‘target pages’ (e.g. a product sales page).

Target pages are typically higher competition and harder to rank. Reverse silos help overcome this.

How to build reverse silos (in 4 steps):

AI has changed SEO forever.

But most SEOs, marketers, and content creators STILL don't use it.

I'm using it every day to scale SEO traffic to 100,000s/mo.

Here are 7 ways how: 1. Ideas Lists

- Boy names that start with A

Total potential (US only):

- 580K keywords
- 8M/mo searches

How to rank in Google in 2024, according to Google:

(100-page Google documentation in 2 minutes) 1. How Google Search works

Google uses crawlers to explore the web and add pages to its index.

Everyone says: “LinkedIn company pages don’t work”

My company page: 1,000+ new customers EVERY WEEK.

No ads. No outbound. Only content.

Here's my LinkedIn company page playbook: I've followed this playbook for 12 weeks.

My results so far:

I built a website glossary in 2 hours.

- 840K total traffic over 1 year
- 70K/mo current traffic
- $3.09 per article

The easiest SEO project I’ve ever done.

Here's how I did it: Firstly, why create a glossary?

1. You can rank for industry keywords to improve sitewide topical authority and EEAT.

2. You can attract natural backlinks and boost pages with internal linking.

3. Other glossaries are typically thin in content and easy to outrank as it can cost $10,000s (but <5% of websites are using AI).

4. There's an opportunity to beat competitors that don't yet use AI.

Confession: I steal content ideas.

It's how I hit 100K total followers in 10 months.
It's how I got 50M content views last year.
It's how I've scaled my 3+ businesses.

Here's how I do it: Truth is, nothing is entirely original.

It's been said for 100s of years:

"What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun."

– The Bible, Ecclesiastes 1:9-10

Nah. You can get results in 90 days.
