The creator argues that established businesses may already have enough natural authority to rank but still lack content targeting available keywords.
If you're already doing over a million a year in revenue, you probably already have a lot of natural authority. Before you do any SEO. For businesses like this, you almost certainly have the authority to rank for hundreds of keywords that you're not yet ranking for. You just don't have content targeting those keywords.
OpenThe creator proposes comparing an article with its Search Console queries to find impression-bearing keyword clusters that the article does not cover well.
The creator describes selecting an individual page in Google Search Console, reviewing the queries associated with that page and exporting them as a CSV. The creator then proposes comparing the article with those queries to identify keyword clusters with meaningful impressions that are not covered well and to suggest additional H2 sections for queries...

SEO isn't right for every business. And I say that as someone who's been doing SEO for 17 years.
And when I say SEO, I'm including AI or GEO or whatever you want to call it. What I typically tell business owners is it makes sense to start investing in SEO when you're doing about a million a year in revenue.
Now, that's a simplification. Of course, there are many exceptions.
I talk about why SEO is generally not worth the money when you're below that mark and why you're effectively printing money when you're above that mark. Do we see it?
SEO is pretty simple and it comes down to two things, authority and content. For SEO to work, you have to show up in a search engine.
And that's still true with AI, it's just that it's AI using the search engine instead of a human. To show up in a search engine, you need enough authority to rank for the given search term.
More competitive search terms require more authority. And you need content that's relevant to that search term.
And then in AI search, the AI also needs to trust the content enough to cite it...
earch results; how often are you getting reviews on the sites that Google trusts; and how prominently are you mentioned online. And every year, Google's algorithm gets a little better at understanding what natural authority looks like.
And a little better at detecting when someone's just gaming the system by, say, buying a ton of backlinks. But here's the thing.
If you're already doing over a million a year in revenue, you probably already have a lot of natural authority. Before you do any SEO.
For businesses like this, you almost certainly have the authority to rank for hundreds of keywords that you're not yet ranking for. You just don't have content targeting those keywords.
And content is the easy part for SEO agencies like ours. Now, SEO agencies can help you build authority, and there's a few things we do for our clients in that direction.
But there are real limitations...
