Here’s the Makeup of a Killer SEO Strategy
Most SEO strategies are fluff—this is how to get results

Want top-quality SEO content written to attract more customers? Schedule a call with me to discuss how my team and I at TrioSEO can help make it a reality.

Hello hello, Savvy Nation!
If you’re here, I’m sure you’re convinced SEO is alive and kicking.
The real issue isn’t whether SEO is still relevant. It’s that SEO that works is rare.
Countless people call themselves SEOs. In reality, they don’t have a plan, their strategies have no clear intent, and they bring in zero conversions.
The ones that actually get results? They do things differently.
Here’s how to build a killer SEO strategy today:
Would you rather go straight to SEO results? Leverage my 10+ years of SEO expertise and let me create an SEO strategy that drives real impact—leads, sales, and revenue—for your business.
1/ Think Like Your ICP
Get into your buyer’s head and write based on what they actually search, not what you think they find interesting.
Make sure every keyword, title, and example in your content maps back to their questions and answers real pain points.
2/ Priorite BOFU Keywords
Go straight for high-intent content that drives leads. Start with search terms your buyer uses right before a purchase, such as comparison and pricing keywords.
Those are the ones that bring in customers.
3/ Study Your Top 5 Competitors
Your competitors will show you what works and what you can do better. Study their content formats, topics, and gaps. Then outrank them.
4/ Build Keyword Clusters
Grouping related terms together. Boom—there’s your long-term content plan. You’ll fill your content calendar, plus Google will interpret it as topical authority and reward you.
5/ Hiring Experienced SEO Writers
Not all writers understand intent. Invest in the ones who know how to create content that ranks.
6/ Creating Detailed Outlines Before Writing
Plan your H1s, CTAs, and internal links upfront. Effective SEO content always happens with strategy and planning.
7/ Publish Content Every Week
Google loves consistency. So treat SEO like a system, not a side project.
8/ Track Keyword Rankings and Traffic
Monitor SEO performance weekly to know what’s working and what needs a fix.
9/ Build Internal Links with Intent
Guide your readers through your content and help Google understand your site structure.
10/ Refresh Content Every 60-90 Days
Don’t let posts die after publishing.
Give your old content new life by adding new relevant search terms, refreshing statistics, and enhancing elements for readability.
11/ Actively Earn Backlinks
Don’t wait for backlinks to happen. Promote each new piece of content like it’s a product launch.
12/ Write for All Stages of the Funnel
You need TOFU, MOFU, and BOFU working together to build a pipeline. Attract, nurture, and convert with content.
13/ Optimize for Mobile UX
Your buyers are on their phones most of the time. Format content for short paragraphs, fast load, and easy scan.
14/ Feature Firsthand Experience
Anyone can talk like an expert. Prove you’ve done what you’re writing about.
15/ Measure Real Business Impact
Traffic is nice, but it’s not the ultimate goal. Tie your SEO efforts to leads, sales, and revenue.
No Shortcuts, Just Strategy
There are no shortcuts to effective SEO.
It’s all about:
Strategy
Understanding intent
Real expertise
And it’s done consistently, long-term.
Stay savvy,
Connor
