Watch me build a $11.9M SaaS AI SEO strategy in 23 minutes

· Solo episode

Sam live-builds the AI SEO strategy he'd use for Lavender, an AI sales email tool pulling $11.9M/year with a 94% Google traffic drop. Using Ahrefs data he diagnoses the real visibility gap, benchmarks against competitors in ChatGPT and Gemini, and maps the three fixes.

What we cover

  • Why Lavender’s reported 94% Google traffic drop is mostly noise: the bulk of lost volume came from people searching for the lavender plant, leaving almost no qualified keyword footprint once those searches are stripped out
  • How often ChatGPT and Gemini cite Lavender’s pages compared to competitors like Instantly, and what that AI citation gap means for demos and pipeline
  • The three-step fix: consolidate a fragmented site structure, build comparison and alternative pages targeting active buyers, and earn third-party mentions to lift AI citation rates
  • How to use keyword difficulty data to find quick wins first rather than attacking head terms that take 12 or more months to move
  • How to use proprietary data as a content foundation that generic SaaS competitors can’t replicate, plus what to realistically expect in the first 12 months
