SEO GROWTH MANAGER · AI SEARCH
Problem
Archway was competing in the crowded Global Financial Services category without enough search authority to capture meaningful demand.
From March to September 2024, the website generated only:
~ 996 organic clicks
~ 26,400 impressions
~ 27.2 average position
The challenge was to uncover underserved demand, build topical and technical authority, and turn organic search into a scalable acquisition channel.
Solution
Developed a comprehensive search growth system that seamlessly integrated market opportunity, topical authority, technical optimization, search intent, and AI discovery into a unified process.
Each stage was meticulously designed to transform search demand into scalable acquisition, while performance data continuously guided the prioritization of subsequent actions.
