HEY HEY HEYYYYYYYYYY Reader,

I'm excited as hell for this week's newsletter.

Because it's time to squash a BIG ASS MYTH that holds a lot of people back from even *starting* to implement SEO.

A lot of people think SEO results come from doing something BIG.

A full website overhaul.
Publishing 4 blog posts in a month.
Spending an entire weekend “fixing all the technical things."

And don't get me wrong, those things can OBVIOUSLY help...

But the REAL MAGIC *JUICE* with SEO does NOT need to be wrapped up in this elaborate package w/ a fancy bow, or become this huge intense project.

Sustainable SEO results actually come from small actions done, consistently.

What do I mean by "consistently" tho????

NOT EVERYDAY, that's for damn sure 😂😂😂

Ideally, weekly.

But not 10-hours a week. Because SEO does NOT need to become your full time job. You have a business.

Instead, what about just ONE HOUR A WEEK???

Can you commit to that?

Just one hour.

Because that's all it takes, I promise.

AND I HAVE PROOF TO SHOW (screenshots from Search Club members)

Why does the "1-hour a week" strategy work so well?!

Because SEO is a compounding system.

Just not really in the way *most* people think.

Yes, your website updates, traffic numbers, and keyword results alllllllll compound. That's obvious.

But more importantly, your SEO SKILLS compound.

Every time you spend intentional time analyzing your SEO data (or lack thereof LOL), researching keywords, creating helpful content, or making changes on your website, you start NOTICING things like:

• What topics actually get traction
• What pages attract the right people
• What content Google & AI clearly understand
• And what…just kinda sits there doing nothing

And all of this helps you to start seeing patterns, noticing trends, and UNDERSTANDING the cause & effect nature of SEO.

“Oh shit, THIS blog post is driving traffic.”
“Interesting!!!!! This page started ranking after I clarified this section.”
“Wait, I think I know why this post didn't get picked up at all!"

And THAT is where SEO results start pickin' up speeeeeed.

Because once you understand how it all works together, you can make more intentional decisions that *actually* move the needle.

But when you disappear from your SEO for 4–6 months (or even a full year) at a time, you lose that feedback loop.

Which kinda makes you start from scratch every time.
Because you're always stuck in beginner mode 🫠

So, whether you decide to jump into Search Club with us when doors open, or not, can you commit to ONE HOUR a week for your SEO?

If you can, you'll be able to:

Stay connected to your data.
Stay connected to what your audience is responding to.
Annnnnnnd stay connected to what’s working.

Need some ideas of what to work on for 1-hour THIS week?

Personally, over the past few months these are some things I've done during my own 1-hour blocks:

• Repurposed YouTube videos into blog posts (using RightBlogger)
• Updated an OLD blog post to make it better & more helpful
• Created a collaboration post with other SEO experts
• Clarified messaging/positioning on a service page that started ranking
• Checked in on my SEO data to get an idea of what's working/not
• Updated the target keyword on my homepage & re-optimized for it

And inside Search Club, members have been doing things like:

• Publishing their FIRST blog post
• Outlining new content based on a keyword/topic
• Submitting quotes to journalists for brand & domain authority
• Pitching themselves to podcasts
• Optimizing existing product pages with clearer headings + better positioning
• Adding FAQs to service pages
• Updating old blog content & adding internal links
• Crafting new SEO titles & meta descriptions for more CLICKS
• Getting feedback from me every step of the way 😉

🤖 Google sends 190x more traffic... Just wanted to share a fun stat from the SEO industry... According to a recent Ahrefs study, ChatGPT has 12% of Google's search volume but Google sends 190x more traffic to websites. Google makes up nearly 40% of traffic to websites and ChatGPT just 0.21%. Which basically means, AI search is growing, but Google still dominates for actual visits to your site. The good news is though, if you're doing modern SEO well, allllll those results trickle into AI search visibility too. You don't have to choose. You can show up in both! ​Check out the Ahref's Google vs. ChatGPT study →​
