Our 1 month's results of investing in SEO:
✅ 30 articles written and got indexed
Some of them were indexed just a couple of days ago, so they obviously not yet bringing any traffic.
✅ 2 people working on SEO. 90% of the job was done by Alena Meshcheriakova and me, so two people.
✅ Found 4 writers who can help us on this journey
✅ 3 times growth of website rating
Let's be clear it is still quite low, but growing) We are checking the rating on Ahrefs.
✅ 200 keywords according to Semrush
According to Google 650 keywords, so we don't yet know if it will pick up and how fast.
✅Organic traffic got from 0
On our new website www.marbleflows.com. , the organic traffic was 0 according to Semrush, which is also strange as google shows different numbers. But still, it was quite a new website. And we see for one month the growth of organic traffic yet insignificant.
🎯 Our goal for 2 months is 2000 keywords and significant growth of organic traffic.
♟ Our strategy is to focus on content creation and sharing. So, write as much as possible and experiment with content types: the bottom of the funnel and the top of the funnel, more relevant and less relevant.
❓What we are figuring out and do not yet have a clear answer to it:
1. What is the length of the ideal article? Is it impact so much?
2. How many keywords we should target in one article? Couple or thousand?
3. How does content influence the rating of the website and back?
4. If content which rated on google further than 2-3 pages will be beneficial for us now?
5. Is only content enough for website traffic growth without backlinks at an early stage?
I am pretty sure there will be no 100% answer on it.
I appreciate any input on that from other fellow marketers, founders, and SEO experts

1. Ideal length > Avg. word count of the top 10 blogs for your primary keyword.
2. You can try targeting 2 to 3 keywords at once in your articles. But, make sure to not dump your blog with multiple keywords when it doesn't make sense.
NOTE: Keyword Stuffing is against Google's guidelines.
3. Your Domain Rating (or Authority) primarily depends on the backlink profile you have and the quality of it. The content becomes secondary here.
4. Your CTR and impressions will be low, but it is a good sign for your website to grow so that you rank on the first page soon :)
5. Backlinks are the foundational metric that PageRank (Google's algorithm) always relies on from the first version! Great content will give you a bump in traffic, but not as high as with quality backlinks.

2- The general rule is, you should try to include your primary keyword about once every 100-150 words. So if you're writing a 1000 word article, inserting the primary keyword around 7-10 times would be appropriate.
Any of your content being indexed by google will benefit you, even if not at 1st page. It'll give you backlink and will give you website more authority. Ultimately, helping you reach top.
