The Real Reason New Sites Get Stuck
Most websites don’t fail at SEO because they’re doing it wrong. They fail because they quit too early.
- Edward calls this the foundation stage, and it’s the phase where almost everyone walks away. They underestimate the timeline, obsess over competition, and lose focus on what actually moves the needle. Staying in the game long enough is half the battle.
The Three Page Strategy That Changes Everything
Edward’s starting point is refreshingly simple: build three pages targeting high intent keywords and let them do the work.
- Not informational fluff that attracts browsers but action intent keywords that attract buyers. These are the searches people make when they’re ready to spend money, sign up, or reach out. Get those pages right and you’ve got a foundation that compounds.
Links and Authority That Actually Stack
Not all backlinks are created equal, and Edward’s pretty blunt about it.
- He wants links that bring real referral traffic, not just a number on a dashboard. Pair that with brand mentions, branded searches, and pages that genuinely satisfy search intent, and you start building authority that makes every future ranking easier. That’s the flywheel. Once it’s spinning, it doesn’t stop.
