For me, good content and internal linking are working really well. I still build backlinks, but they seem to help more when the site is already well organized.

I'd go with the main article first. Then I'd add supporting articles as I cover more topics.

I'd use AI to save time, but I'd still review and improve the content before publishing. The final quality is what really matters.

I've seen AI-assisted articles do well over time when they're properly reviewed and improved. The content itself matters more than how it was written.

SEO is definitely more competitive now, but I still think the basics matter the most.

I'd probably start with keyword research. It gives you a good base before creating any content. I think a lot of beginners try to rank for big keywords too early, and that usually makes SEO feel harder than it really is.

I usually start by checking if the site is actually related to the niche. After that I look at the quality of the content, whether the site is active, and if it gets real organic traffic. Relevance has always been more important than just chasing high metrics for me.

I agree. Traffic is important, but if it doesn't lead to conversions or help build trust, the numbers don't mean much..

Welcome to BHW. Nice to see someone with an AI and dev background here. Hope you learn a lot from the forum and share some of your knowledge too.

I agree with this. Building trust takes time, but it usually brings better long-term results than just chasing clicks.

Welcome to BHW. Hope you enjoy your time here and learn some new things along the way. Looking forward to seeing your contributions.

AI content itself is not the main problem. The quality, usefulness, and how much you improve it matters more. Low quality mass AI content can have issues, but a well edited article can still perform.

Yeah, a proper report is important. At least some progress in rankings or traffic should be visible after a few months.

Yeah, I agree. Traffic and rankings are good indicators, but the real goal is getting the right visitors who are likely to convert.

4 months with zero leads sounds a bit concerning, but it depends on the niche, keywords, and what the agency is actually doing. Rankings alone don't always mean conversions.
