Description
My name is Fabrizio Ballarini, work in Organic Growth at Wise. In May 2021 during a sabbatical leave, I am going to try build a long term business that will grow primarily via SEO. Starting from 0 and sharing daily highlights about my progress. I will cover multiple topics from putting a team together, choosing a brand, buying domains, setting up tech, producing content and web products as well as all aspects about monetising web traffic. Goal is to share my learnings with startup founders and SEOs in early stage companies to get SEO right from the very start to scale a new business.

Programmatic SEO aka Scaling Pages
2022/01/25
My take on subject and how I went about it in last years both at Wise as well as my personal SEO projects
Programmatic SEO is trending
What is it?
Wait.....It's not new
Core principles of scaling landing pages - kw research pattern, data, template
Kw research
Database: CSV, actual DB, APIs
How to build templates
Doing it on different platforms https://www.wpallimport.com/ (WP all import), strapi, dev + DB
Starting small get impression clicks
Sitemaps, internal linking
CMS vs custom code+db
Scaling data and maintenance, APIs example if not static DB
Keyword research v1.0 to define site architecture & content types
2021/10/31
First iteration of keyword research
time vs making pages not perfect
tools - semrush, ahref, keywordtool.io, keywordinsights.ai
Structured vs non structured content
templated content (landing pages, products, directories)
structured
competitors architecture
work by template in a precise way but still reassess in future
non structured content (blog long form)
competitors articles + kw tools
doing vs precision
refine where to go and optimise kw research by series of articles not one by one
don't go back until article it's at peak and you have more for the same series
recap
differentiate by content type the approach
don't waste too much time on day one vs launching pages
understand best time for each content format on revisiting the kw research and targeting
Search or Social? Where to start and how to not get stuck?
2021/10/15
After a long break and some exploration I am back on the project. Deciding between search and social it's a topic I went through during this slow phase.
Started from securing social media handles
How I thought about social as opposed to focus on search
Evaluating search vs social opportunity and investment time frame
A run through of social platforms and opportunities
Feed based social platforms vs YouTube
YouTube vs publishing SEO content
Youtube if you plan to be serious about it in parallel with search.

Decisions that won't impact SEO short term
2021/05/21
It's very easy to get excited about too many opportunities and end up not moving tangibly your core work. I decided to collect some activities I had to face early days that have close to little SEO impact in the short term.
1 - do them quick time box it
2 - hire someone pro at it
3 - skip and leave for later
