When it’s a match
- You want a clear SEO strategy from an agency, not a theory deck.
- You need keyword clustering and intent mapping that reflect real searches.
- You care about tidy information architecture and smart internal linking.
- Pages should match search intent and support topical authority.
- Templates should meet Core Web Vitals without drama.
Short version: a simple plan that ships.
What you’ll get
A practical SEO roadmap teams can follow without friction:
- Goals, north-star metric, and a small KPI set
- Topic clusters with titles that read like searches
- Page briefs (H2/H3, FAQs, proof cues, schema notes)
- IA rules, breadcrumb logic, and link hints
- Technical SEO priorities (LCP/INP/CLS, canonicals, pagination)
- 30/60/90 steps with owners and simple checks
Delivered in plain docs your writers, devs, and marketers can use the same day.
Models we support
We tune the plan to your model and stack:
- Ecommerce SEO strategy for categories, products, facets, and seasonal hubs
- B2B / SaaS SEO strategy for problem pages, comparisons, and “alternatives” content
- Local SEO strategy for multi-location service pages, Q&A, and map-pack signals
- International sites with hreflang, currency, and region-specific content needs
Each plan favors fast templates, clean crawl paths, and steady rankings.
Readiness checklist
- Access to GSC and GA4
- CMS or code owner for template tweaks
- One point of contact for content and one for dev
- A weekly 30-minute slot for reviews
If you’ve got these, we can move fast without chaos.
What we focus on first
- Titles and snippets that lift CTR
- High-intent pages that already have impressions
- Internal links that push signals to money pages
- Index cleanup that removes low-value paths
Small, calm moves—then scale once signals are steady.
When it’s not a match
- You want a one-time keyword list with no plan
- You prefer heavy jargon over clear steps
- You expect “every page targets every term”
We keep things simple and focused. That’s how results stick.
“plan content strategy for SEO with briefs,” and “set a short list of technical SEO priorities.”
What This Strategy Solves
We cut through noise and give your team a plan—clear steps for content, internal linking, and technical SEO. The aim is steady gains: better CTR, faster pages, and a healthier index.
No clear direction
Symptoms
- Ideas pile up; nothing ships.
- Teams disagree on page priorities.
- Backlog grows but KPIs don’t move.
Why this happens
There’s no single SEO roadmap that ties goals, keyword clustering, and owners together.
Our move
- One-page plan with goals and owners.
- 30/60/90 sequence with acceptance checks.
- Weekly review slot to keep rhythm steady.
Result
People know what to do first, what to pause, and what “done” means.
Thin or scattered content
Symptoms
- Pages don’t match search intent.
- Titles feel stuffed; sections wander.
- Low CTR, high bounce on key URLs.
Why this happens
No map for intent mapping and no content briefs that guide writers.
Our move
- Topic clusters with natural titles and FAQs.
- Briefs with H2/H3 order, proof cues, and schema notes.
- Internal linking hints that support topical authority.
Result
Content matches queries, reads clean, and earns better snippets and clicks.
Technical drag
Symptoms
- Slow LCP/INP; layout shifts (CLS).
- Render blocks from heavy JS/CSS.
- Index bloat; crawl budget feels wasted.
Why this happens
There isn’t a short, ranked list for technical SEO that devs can ship safely.
Our move
- Template-level CWV targets (LCP/INP/CLS).
- Canonical and pagination logic that’s easy to test.
- Safe rules for parameters, filters, and sitemaps.
Result
Faster pages, cleaner crawls, and steadier rankings.
Cannibalization & duplicate intent
Symptoms
- Several pages fight for the same query.
- Positions wobble; nothing holds page one.
- Internal anchors feel random or forced.
Why this happens
Clusters aren’t defined; information architecture doesn’t tell pages apart.
Our move
- Merge or reframe overlapping pages.
- Clear parent/child structure with breadcrumb rules.
- Internal links that send a single, clear signal.
Result
Each page owns a job; signals stack instead of split.
Index hygiene & crawl waste
Symptoms
- Thin filters and duplicates get indexed.
- Ghost URLs in Search Console.
- New pages take too long to appear.
Why this happens
No simple rules for noindex, canonicals, or pagination; sitemaps don’t reflect the real site.
Our move
- Noindex and disallow rules for low-value paths.
- Canonical patterns by template.
- Fresh, scoped sitemaps that match live pages.
Result
The index focuses on pages that matter and crawls feel efficient.
Measurement noise
Symptoms
- Reports don’t agree across teams.
- Too many KPIs; no one trusts them.
- Hard to link SEO work to pipeline.
Why this happens
There isn’t a shared KPI set or simple forecast tied to clusters.
Our move
- North-star metric with a small supporting set.
- Impressions → CTR → clicks → conversions model.
- Quarterly review and re-ranking of priorities.
Result
One view of performance; easier planning for content, dev, and budget.
Who We Build SEO Strategy For
VJ SEO Marketing creates and provides the plan. We adapt the SEO strategy to your model, tech stack, and pace. The method stays the same; the moves change by use case.
Ecommerce & marketplaces
Large catalogs need a clear structure. We protect category signals, size product pages correctly, and keep faceted navigation from bloating the index. The plan balances category vs. product SEO, seasonal hubs, and safe rules for filters and variants.
Great fit if you need
- Category trees that pass authority cleanly
- Product schema and image rules that load fast
- Facets/filters with sensible canonical and noindex logic
B2B & SaaS
Buyers research and compare. We plan problem–solution pages, comparison and alternatives pages, and “how it works” content that supports signups, demos, or trials. Keyword clustering and intent mapping reduce overlap and lift CTR.
Great fit if you need
- ICP-focused clusters by role, industry, or size
- Pricing, integration, and migration content that feels real
- Lead tracking that links pages to pipeline
Local & multi-location
People want nearby services, fast. We plan location pages with human copy, clear service menus, real photos, and Q&A that reflects actual questions. The structure supports map pack signals without city-page spam.
Great fit if you need
- City/area templates that sound natural
- Store/service hierarchies that keep signals tidy
- Simple review and photo rhythms your team can keep
International & multilingual
Regions and languages add complexity. We plan hreflang, currency and unit cues, and region selectors that don’t trap crawlers. Content gets translated or transcreated based on search intent, not just language.
Great fit if you need
- Region-first keyword clustering and title logic
- Safe redirects and locale selectors
- Rollouts that avoid index churn
Publishers & content-led brands
Editorial teams need a steady plan. We build topic hubs, internal links that guide readers, and pruning rules that keep the index lean. The goal is topical authority with simple briefs the team can ship weekly.
Great fit if you need
- Evergreen + timely content cadence
- Hub/cluster IA that reduces cannibalization
- Schema that’s valid and light
Startups, SMB & enterprise
Different sizes need different rhythms. Startups ship low-competition clusters and fast templates. SMBs add steady content and simple authority plays. Enterprise teams need governance, ticket-ready tasks, and quarterly re-ranking.
Great fit if you need
- 30/60/90 steps tied to owners and checks
- KPI sets that everyone reads the same way
- Rules that travel well across teams and regions

Our SEO Strategy Framework
VJ SEO Marketing is your strategy creator and provider. The method is steady and practical. Each step adds clarity and removes noise.
1) Discovery & goals
We learn your model, margin ranges, seasonality, and sales flow. Then we pick a north-star metric (leads, orders, trials) with a few simple support metrics.
Inputs
- Must-win products or services
- Regions, languages, buyer roles
- GSC and GA4 baseline
Need a quick health check first? Start with an SEO audit.
2) Market & SERP study
We look past competitors you sell against and include “content competitors” and marketplaces that own your queries. We note SERP features that matter: FAQs, images, carousels, product packs.
We look for
- Topic gaps and easy wins
- Comparison angles buyers want
- Query patterns by funnel stage
3) Keyword clustering & intent mapping
We group searches by topic and search intent—learn, compare, buy. Each cluster gets a page type and a draft title that sounds natural. This keeps topical authority strong and avoids duplication.
More on our approach to terms and topics: Keyword Research.
4) Information architecture (IA)
We sketch a clean hierarchy. URLs stay tidy. Breadcrumbs reflect the path. Parent/child links pass the right signals, so crawlers and people move the same way.
Why it helps
- Faster crawls and cleaner index
- No orphan pages or dead ends
- Money pages receive consistent support
When it’s time to ship changes, see Technical SEO.
5) Content strategy & briefs
Writers get page briefs with titles, H2/H3 order, FAQs, proof cues, and internal link hints. The brief states the job of the page and the questions it must answer to meet search intent.
Need production help later? Visit Content Marketing.
6) Technical SEO strategy
We rank fixes that remove friction: Core Web Vitals, render order, canonical and pagination logic, and crawl rules for filters and parameters. Tickets come with acceptance checks.
Focus
- LCP/INP/CLS by template
- Canonical and pagination safety
- Sitemaps, robots, crawl budget
7) Authority & mentions
We plan brand-safe ways to earn links and mentions. Anchors stay balanced. Pages worth citing get the attention first. When you’re ready to scale this, continue with Link Building.
8) Forecast & KPIs
A simple model shows impressions → clicks → conversions, with low/likely/high ranges. Everyone reads the same numbers the same way, so updates feel calm.
9) 30/60/90 rollout
Week-by-week steps with owners and checks. The plan fits your tracker. The pace stays steady.
- 30 days: unblock and publish first batch
- 60 days: refine templates and speed
- 90 days: scale content and mentions
Information Architecture & Internal Linking
Structure people can follow
We keep the hierarchy lean. Each section has a job. URLs follow one rule. Breadcrumbs mirror the path. This supports topical authority and keeps the crawl tidy.
- Parent/child map for hubs and helpers
- Title and heading rules by template
- Pagination and canonical patterns that don’t clash
Links that add context
Internal links should help the reader and pass the right hint. We avoid loops and “everything to everything.” Anchors read like a person wrote them.
- Hubs that deserve support
- Natural anchors that stay varied
- Guardrails to prevent cannibalization
Content Strategy for SEO
Search intent drives every outline. Page types stay consistent, so writing is fast and edits are simple. The goal is clear pages that answer the query, support topical authority, and move people to the next step without fuss.
keyword clusters
intent mapping
pillar & hub pages
internal linking strategy
schema markup
Service & category pages
Short intro, clear benefits, real proof, and a tidy FAQ. Titles match how people search. Content explains value in the first screen. Templates stay light to help Core Web Vitals.
Pattern
- H1 = service + outcome
- H2: Who it’s for • How it works
- H2: Pricing/Plans or What’s included
- FAQ with live questions from the SERP
Comparison & alternatives
Buyers want fit. We show simple tables and plain reasons. Each section states who it’s for and when it isn’t. Clusters prevent multiple pages from chasing the same intent.
Include
- “Best for” snapshots and trade-offs
- Migration/switching steps (risk, time, data)
- Clear CTA: trial, demo, quote, or call
Guides & hubs
Teach without filler. Hubs introduce the topic and point to helper pages. Cross-links keep the cluster tight and lift the pillar page. Schema appears only where valid.
Guidelines
- One hub per topic; helpers cover sub-topics
- Consistent H2/H3 order across the cluster
- Cross-links that read natural and avoid loops
FAQ & “People also ask” capture
Answer live questions in plain language. Each item is short, direct, and scannable. FAQs sit near the end unless they’re the main format.
Rules
- One clear question per item
- 1–3 sentences per answer
- No duplicate questions across pages
Briefs & editorial rules
Writers get a one-pager: target query, supporting terms, entities, angle, H2/H3 order, word range, examples, and link hints. Reading level stays friendly. E-E-A-T cues are baked in.
Brief includes
- Primary/secondary queries and search intent
- Title + 3–5 subheadings that match intent
- Proof cues: data points, screenshots, quick examples
- Internal link targets with natural anchors
Internal linking & anchor strategy
Links should help readers and pass the right hint. We vary anchors, avoid “everything to everything,” and protect the main page in each cluster.
Do
- Use anchors that sound like people talk
- Link up to the hub and sideways to siblings
- 1–2 links per 300–400 words in long guides
Avoid
- Repeating the same anchor everywhere
- Linking two pages that chase the same intent
Media, snippets & schema
Images load fast and carry descriptive alt text. Snippets keep the promise short. Add schema only where it fits the page and passes validation.
Targets
- Clean hero images; compressed per template
- Breadcrumbs, FAQ, and Service/Product schema when valid
- Titles with one key phrase and a clear benefit
Refresh & content lifecycle
Old pages can earn more with light updates. We set a refresh rhythm per cluster, track decay, and merge overlap.
Cadence
- Quarterly check on top clusters
- Merges for near-duplicate intent
- Title/intro tests when CTR stalls
Conversion cues & UX
Every page gets a clear “what next.” CTAs feel natural and match intent. Layout avoids long walls of text and keeps scannability high.
Examples
- Service page → quote or call
- Comparison page → demo or trial
- Guide → related service or tool
Page type | Primary goal | Sample H2s | CTA |
---|---|---|---|
Service / Category | Convert high-intent visitors | Who It’s For • What’s Included • Pricing/Plans • FAQs | Get a Quote / Book a Call |
Comparison / Alternatives | Help buyers choose | Best For • Trade-offs • Switching Steps • FAQs | Start Trial / See Demo |
Guide / Hub | Build topical authority | Key Concepts • Step-by-Step • Tools • Next Steps | Related Service / Contact |
FAQ | Answer live questions | 1 question = 1 clear answer | Contact / Learn More |
Technical SEO Strategy
Small technical snags create big slowdowns. Our strategy lists short, testable actions that remove friction for crawling, rendering, speed, and index hygiene. Each item is ranked by impact and effort, with a simple “done means…” check so tickets close cleanly.
Core Web Vitals
We set template-level targets for LCP, INP, and CLS. We review image weight, font loads, script order, and layout shifts. Small changes here lift CTR and reduce bounces.
Focus
- LCP < 2.5s (real user data)
- INP < 200ms on key templates
- CLS < 0.1 with stable elements
Done means: field data shows targets met for 28-day windows.
Crawl & render
We make sure bots can fetch, render, and understand pages. Robots rules are scoped. Critical content isn’t hidden behind scripts.
Checks
- robots.txt and meta robots don’t block key paths
- Server responses: 200/301 for live paths, no soft 404s
- Critical HTML present on first render where possible
Done means: test URLs render fully and match the HTML snapshot.
Index health
We keep the index focused on pages that matter. Canonicals and pagination send one clear signal. Thin states stay out.
Rules
- Canonical patterns by template (no self-conflicts)
- Paginated series with stable rel signals
- Noindex where a page has no search value
Done means: GSC shows stable coverage and falling “Crawled—currently not indexed” for priority paths.
Facets & parameters
Filters should help users without polluting the index. We decide which facets can index and which stay closed.
Moves
- Allow only useful, unique facet combos
- Block stateful params (sort, view, tracking)
- Canonical back to clean parent when needed
Done means: crawl stats drop on junk URLs; category pages retain signals.
Sitemaps & discovery
Sitemaps mirror what’s live and valuable. Large sites get split by type or freshness for faster discovery.
Plan
- One index sitemap; child sitemaps by template
- Only canonical, indexable URLs included
- Freshness tracked so new pages surface quickly
Done means: GSC shows steady submits and high “indexed” ratios.
JavaScript frameworks
App frameworks need clear rendering and hydration. We prevent blank first paints and missing content for bots.
Checklist
- Critical content available on first HTML
- Deferred JS doesn’t block interaction
- Dynamic routes expose canonical, titles, meta
Done means: rendered HTML matches user view; titles/snippets consistent.
Media & assets
Heavy assets slow templates. We set rules for images, icons, and fonts so speed stays stable.
Rules
- Modern formats (AVIF/WebP) with proper sizes
- Font-display swap; preload critical fonts
- Lazy-load below-the-fold images only
Done means: weight per template drops; LCP element loads faster.
International & multilingual
Regions and languages need clean signals. We plan hreflang, region pickers, and currency cues that don’t trap crawlers.
Standards
- Self-referencing hreflang with correct return links
- Consistent canonical within each locale
- Clear UX for region choice (no forced loops)
Done means: correct locale ranks in each market; no cross-locale swaps.
Redirects & error states
Redirect chains and soft 404s waste budget. We map clean moves and keep error pages helpful.
Basics
- Short 301 paths (no chain, no loop)
- 410 for gone content; real 404s for mistakes
- Custom 404 with clear next steps
Done means: chains reduced; GSC shows fewer redirect and soft-404 issues.
Logs & monitoring
We use crawl stats and server logs to spot traps and verify wins. Small checks keep the site healthy between releases.
Watch
- Bot hits by template over time
- Spike alerts for params or error codes
- Coverage shifts after major changes
Done means: crawl lines trend toward key templates; noise stays down.
Template | LCP target | INP target | CLS target | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|
Home | < 2.5s | < 200ms | < 0.1 | Preload hero; defer non-critical scripts |
Category / Service | < 2.5s | < 200ms | < 0.1 | Stable filters; canonical back to clean URL |
Product / Feature | < 2.5s | < 200ms | < 0.1 | Image rules by breakpoint; lazy below fold |
Guide / Blog | < 2.5s | < 200ms | < 0.1 | Light DOM; avoid heavy embeds upfront |
Authority & Mentions
We earn attention with useful pages and credible sources. Anchors stay balanced. Outreach favors relevance over volume. If you want an ongoing link program later, continue under Link Building.
digital PR
brand mentions
topical authority
E-E-A-T
anchor strategy
Editorial links, not tricks
We look for pages that add value to someone else’s article or resource. No PBNs, no mass guest posts, no paid “insertion” schemes.
Signals we want
- Contextual links inside body copy
- Real traffic and indexed history
- Anchors that read like normal text
Digital PR & useful assets
We pitch things worth citing—original data, short checklists, mini-tools, or clear explainers that fill a gap.
Pitch angles
- Fresh numbers or quick surveys
- How-to assets reporters can quote
- Industry glossaries and definitions
Unlinked mentions → links
We find brand mentions and request a simple source link. It’s low friction and keeps anchors natural.
What we check
- Brand name variants and spellings
- Page context (is a link reasonable?)
- Contact path and tone
Partner & ecosystem links
Suppliers, integrations, and partners often have profiles or resource pages. We standardize copy and request a live link once the profile is approved.
Quick wins
- Directories you already qualify for
- Integration/marketplace listings
- Scholarship/CSR pages (if real)
Anchor & page safety
We vary anchors to avoid patterns and point links to the right page in each cluster, not only the homepage.
Rules
- Mix brand, partial-match, and generic
- Send signals to hubs and key helpers
- No orphan pages inside a cluster
How we judge quality
Metrics help, but we check the page itself. Is it indexed? Does it get traffic? Is the link surrounded by helpful copy?
KPI ideas
- Referring domains (editorial %)
- Link velocity (steady, not spiky)
- Brand searches & mentions
Titles, Snippets & Schema
Clear titles and honest snippets improve CTR and reduce pogo-sticking. Schema is added only when valid for the page.
Titles that get clicks
One primary phrase + a plain promise. Keep it under ~60 characters when possible.
Patterns
- Service: “SEO Strategy Services for B2B – Plan, Clusters, Roadmap”
- Comparison: “Tool A vs Tool B: Which Fits [Role/Use-Case]?”
- Guide: “How to Build an SEO Roadmap (Steps + Templates)”
Snippets that set expectations
Write for humans. One promise per line. Active voice.
Template
- {Page does X} in {timeframe} with {few steps/tools}. See examples, costs, and next steps.
Schema where valid
We only add markup that fits the content and validates.
Common types
- BreadcrumbList for structure
- Service or Product (not both)
- FAQPage when real FAQs exist
- Article for editorial posts
Element | Do | Don’t |
---|---|---|
Title | One main phrase + benefit | Stuff 3–4 keywords |
Meta description | Set a clear expectation | Repeat the title verbatim |
Schema | Use types that match the page | Fake reviews or irrelevant types |
Measurement, Forecast & Dashboards
Everyone reads the same numbers the same way. KPIs stay lean; assumptions are documented. Forecasts show ranges, not magic numbers.
KPIs we track
- Impressions → CTR → clicks (GSC)
- Qualified leads / orders & conversion rate (GA4/CRM)
- Page speed & index health (CWV + index coverage)
Each KPI carries a short note—what it shows and what it doesn’t—so small dips don’t trigger panic.
Forecast with ranges
We estimate lift by cluster using baseline traffic, position-based CTR, and ramp time. Outputs show low / likely / high so teams can plan.
Inputs
- Baseline clicks and seasonality
- Keyword set per cluster (matched to intent)
- Expected CTR shifts from better titles/snippets
Dashboards people use
One view for operators, one for leadership. We add simple annotations for releases and content drops.
Views
- Executive: clicks, conversions, revenue
- Ops: pages, clusters, technical status
- Content: briefs shipped, refresh queue
Area | What we standardize | Why it matters |
---|---|---|
UTM & events | Consistent source/medium + key events | Clean attribution across channels |
Annotations | Releases, migrations, big content drops | Explains spikes and dips |
Data hygiene | Filters for bots & staging traffic | Trustworthy trends |
