The Starting Point

A career service that helps people write perfect resumes and land their dream jobs. The service is high-quality, but online visibility was minimal.

At project start: fewer than 100 clicks per month. Barely any visibility for relevant keywords, no content strategy, no systematic backlink building.

The Challenge

  • Minimal Traffic: Fewer than 100 clicks monthly
  • No SEO Strategy: No structured approach in place
  • Competitive Niche: Established players dominate the SERPs
  • Niche Keywords: Keywords must lead to actual inquiries

Key Takeaways

  • Relevance over volume. 1,000 clicks from people who want to hire a resume writer are worth more than 10,000 clicks from people just looking for templates.
  • Content and backlinks as dual strategy. Content builds relevance, backlinks strengthen authority.
  • Prioritize conversion potential. Not all keywords are equally valuable, focus on those that bring real inquiries.
  • AI-Ready SEO is becoming increasingly important for sustainable visibility
