What it takes to outperform industry giants on Google 🚀

Hello there,

That’s Victoria from the Website Growth Mastery, showing up in your email box. 😉

How have you been doing lately?

I kicked off this week with a lot of work.

In particular, I

✅ Reflected on August's accomplishments and set up ambitious goals for September

✅ Prepared content writing tasks for one of my clients

✅ Prepared invoices

✅ Had an introductory call with a potential client. I'll be helping them promote their SEO tool (stay tuned for more! 😉 ).

✅ Prepped to deliver an SEO writing masterclass this month (details coming soon!).

Looking forward to seeing what September brings! What are your professional goals for this month? 🤔 

Aside from that, Google has finally updated all website owners that the August 2024 Core Algorithm Update is over!

To my surprise, the organic impressions and clicks of my AI SEO tools blog post have skyrocketed after the Google August 2024 update.

Nowadays, my article ranks 3rd for a competitive “AI SEO” keyword and outperforms industry leaders like Semrush, Backlinko, and Neil Patel.

This article ranks for over 600 related keywords according to Ahrefs and generates 2,000+ organic traffic monthly!

Here’s how the organic impressions and clicks changed after the August 2024 core update:

Impressive right?

Even though I put a lot of effort into writing and optimizing this blog post, I never anticipated it would outperform industry giants with domain authority close to 90.

This clearly indicates to me that Google is experimenting with organic search results and is willing to make significant changes.

This positive outcome is not accidental.

My SEO writing strategy is straightforward: identify promising keywords, be a first mover, and prioritize E-E-A-T (Expertise, Experience, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness) in content creation.

If you’re interested in the strategies I used to create high-ranking blog posts, I’ve detailed them in my SEO ebook.
