SEO Isn't Dead (But Your Strategy Might Be)

"SEO doesn't work anymore."

Heard that one before?

Usually comes from someone who tried to game Google in 2015 and got slapped down. Look, I get it. SEO used to be about stuffing keywords and building garbage

backlinks. Those days are over.

Good riddance.

But here's what drives me crazy: people throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

SEO absolutely works. You just need to do it right.

Had a client last year. Local service business. Wasn't showing up anywhere on Google. Competitors were eating his lunch.

"I tried SEO," he told me. "Hired some guy off Fiverr. Didn't work."

Yeah. Shocking.

Want to know what this "SEO expert" did? Created 47 blog posts about "Top 10 Tips for..." nonsense. Stuffed them with keywords. Posted them and waited.

That's not SEO. That's digital pollution.

Real SEO in 2025 is about understanding what people actually search for. Creating content that genuinely helps them. Building authority through value, not tricks.

Here's what we did for my client:

• Researched what his customers actually searched for

• Created helpful, specific content around those searches

• Optimized his service pages for local searches

• Built real relationships with local businesses for natural backlinks

No tricks. No shortcuts. Just solid strategy.

Results after six months? Ranking #1 for his main keywords. Phone ringing daily with new leads. Revenue up 80%.

SEO works. But only if you treat it like a legitimate marketing channel instead of a magic trick.

Stop looking for shortcuts. Start creating value.

Google will reward you for it.
