Last week I spoke to 30 of Limited Supply's (Nik Sharma and Moiz Ali's group) of 7-9 figure entrepreneurs about growing their organic revenue. And these 6 items were repetitive golden nuggets. I even got this nice message from an attendee. 1. Add content to collections pages But a collections page is not a blog post - why and where would you add content? Doesn't matter! At the top of the collections pages, add a short 2-3 sentences around what the collections page is. And at the end everything about benefits of your product, where to get it, etc. The brands that leverage these see an immediate bump in traffic. 2. Optimize your internal linking structure Most people don't realize that internal linking is similar to having backlinks. Before you pump out a bunch of backlinks, build strong internal links between a blog post and relevant product/collections pages. Do NOT link out to blog posts within product/collections pages, your goal is to keep the user on the revenue focused page! 3. Align blog posts with revenue focused pages Your content is critical for 2 core reasons: 1. Revenue 2. Driving topical authority to your site You should have a strategy that allows you to pump out relevant content that will drive not only topical authority but internal links and visitors who are coming to learn about your product and BUY! 4. Don't ignore technical issues A super performant site is not going to outcompete another site. But missing clear technical issues will weigh your site down. These look like pagination issues, broken links, 404 errors, and slow pages. Get those out of the way so you can focus on the real search gains. 5. Build more quality links The jury is out on whether bad links are actually bad. Some say Google does a great job ignoring them. Some say it depends. I say it really depends on what kind of links they are, and how aggressive are the anchors. So while you should disavow ones that are horrible, you should continue to build niche relevant, anchor light backlinks from sites that have a minimum domain authority of 30+ and have at-least 1000 organic searches a month. 6. Look to the big guys for inspiration The easiest thing you can do today is go to Google, take a keyword, take the number one spot, add that to ahrefs, and see what keywords that page ranks for. This becomes a cheat sheet if you don't know what you should be going after. If you are selling cold plunges, you think a 9 figure brand that ranks number one for revenue generating terms has good opportunties for you to consider? You bet. The best part is you can take those keywords as inspiration and then figure out, based on your sites authority what keywords you want to go after to even outrank them!
