Lean SEO: Our Framework For SEO Traction
Hi! I’m Pat Walls, the creator of Starter Story.
People think SEO success is about knowing Google’s algorithm front to back.
It’s not. It’s about taking action. Finding what works. And then scaling it.
I grew Starter Story to over 1M visitors/month with this approach.
It’s a framework called Lean SEO, and you can use it too.
Here’s the framework:
(1) Research: Identify content opportunities through quick research
(2) Create: Create MVCs (Minimum Viable Content) to test the viability
(3) Test: Measure results over a 30-day period
(4) Decision: Iterate on your content based on its performance
(5) Scale: Scale it when something works, using structured data, automation, outsourcing, and UGC
And do this across many ‘experiments’, simultaneously & in parallel.
Why does this work?
By using this framework, we make many small bets with an iterative approach.
Instead of spending weeks on one piece of content that may never pan out, we run dozens of experiments at once.
Through these experiments, we eventually landed on multiple big content opportunities.
And when we got serious about this framework, we 4x’d our search traffic in 6 months. Here is proof (Google Search Console):
About the course
I walk through the entire framework in about 3 hours of screencasts + 100 slides. I also show a multitude of examples from Starter Story and other sites. And how you can do this, too.
You can take this at your own pace, and you’ll have access to it forever. If you want to implement Lean SEO and have some questions, you can email me at anytime.
Thank you for checking it out!
Requirements for the course
I recommend that you have time, patience, and a long-term mindset. These experiments take time. I recommend you already have a business you’d like to grow with SEO, but if you’re planning on starting something, that works too!
