Building cool things with smart people (sometimes they even work) 🛠️ 🔎 SEO & SaaS
Quick WordPress SEO win:
Use your category pages.
Add unique descriptions.
Link to best posts.
Most sites waste this free SEO real estate.
Reality check on getting your first 100 visitors:
Don't start with SEO.
Write helpful answers on Reddit/Quora/etc.
Link to deeper content on your site.

Product advice worth stealing:
Launch when it's 'good enough', not when it's perfect.
Users tell you what perfect means anyway.

Hofstadter's Law: Everything takes longer than expected, even when you take into account Hofstadter's Law.
Keep pushing. We're all in this boat.
Quick SEO tip that works:
Before writing new content, search your target keyword in incognito.
Study the content format that's ranking, not just the topics.
Structure > Keywords

Counter-intuitive product advice:
Your MVP should feel embarrassingly basic.
If you're not slightly uncomfortable showing it to people, you've probably built too much.
#BuildInPublic
Usually works best when you see a real problem first.
Good sign: Finding people actively cobbling together messy solutions
Red flag: Having to convince people they have a problem
The best products solve existing pain, not theoretical needs.
To clarify, not difficult customers, but intensive learning conversations.
Those early deep-dive support calls taught us what to build next. Can't get those insights from quick transactions.
Startup tip most ignore:
Your first 10 customers should be a pain to support.
Don't just build exactly what users request. Understand the underlying problem they're trying to solve.

Howdy Pete,
Let's Build!
Building software is easy.
Building software people actually need is hard.
Talk to 10 potential customers before writing a single line of code.
SEO tip often ignored:
Your top competitors' 404 pages are goldmines.
Find their dead links that still get referenced.
Create better content.
Reach out for backlink updates.
Old authority waiting to be claimed.
Most underrated SEO move:
Update your old content.
Seriously.
That's it.
A refresh on an existing ranked page beats a new post 90% of the time.
Quick SEO win:
Find pages ranking 5-15th for good keywords.
Add missing subtopics from top 3 results.
Watch rankings climb. 📈

Counter-intuitive SaaS advice:
Start with a stupid-expensive tier.
It forces you to define real value early, and you'll be shocked who actually buys it.

Document the mistakes.
Your 'here's how we messed up' posts will likely get better engagement than your wins.
Transparency > Perfection
Building software? Start with a waitlist, not a product.
Ship a killer landing page first. Let signups guide your feature priority.
Saved us months of building stuff nobody wanted.

Black Friday SEO tip:
Instead of competing for saturated 'deals' terms, add gift sections to your top-performing how-to content.
Lower competition, higher intent, keeps working after the holidays.

Study how Google rewrites your snippets.
That's literally their A/B testing data, for free.
Google often rewrites meta descriptions to better match search intent and what they think users want to see.

Does this approach (and listed directories) only work for job board projects?

Now we need 37 slides on customer personas first.
Fair question, this is from recent campaigns with our clients, not a formal study. Should've been clearer that it's our direct observation, not industry-wide data.

Add 'Updated [Month] 2024' to your top 3 performing posts.
Sounds too simple?
