A few years back, I worked as a solo marketer for a fledgling startup.

You know the score: 2-3 clients; almost 0 marketing budget.

Over the course of a year, we attempted everything from ad campaigns to outbound sales.

Nothing worked 𝘸𝘦𝘭𝘭. Nothing became "repeatable".

Until...SEO.

In 12 months, I wrote ~50 blog posts & landing pages:

• I found the keywords
• I wrote the content/copy
• I built the pages in Webflow

Each targeted a low volume keyword. But they were highly specific to us.

We probably only grew to ~5,000 monthly visitors in 9 months.

Yet, bit by bit, sales requests began to flow to us:

Month 1: 0 demo requests
Month 2: 1 demo requests
Month 3: 2 demo requests
Month 4: 3 demo requests

We eventually hit 8 inbound demo requests every single month.

(They were from some of the coolest brands and closed at a 25-50% rate.)

We'd only need ~20 to close to hit $1M ARR. 

We did it.

And the cost?

Nothing but:

• Time & energy
• An Ahrefs subscription

This is why I love SEO.

It's the "everyman" marketing channel.

There's zero barriers to getting out there and hustling a win.

In the years since, I've bounced from startup to startup, client to client.

I've honed my SEO strategy: 

Experimented. Redesigned. Systemised.

And I've paired it with my (some would say unhealthy) obsession with human-centred, original content that stands out.

Now?

I help all kinds of companies build their own SEO-driven demand engine.

One that drives bottom-of-funnel inbound leads that *actually* become closed-won.

Marketing Manager @ Think Learning | Female Marketer in SaaS

I like marketing everything except myself, so I'll keep this brief. 

1) I've worked in marketing for a strange array of companies. I'm so glad I tried different sectors as I've learnt what to do, and more importantly, what not to do in marketing. 

2) Originally, I wanted to work in charity. While there I learned how to make a splash with little (or no) budget. Then I had a quarter-life crisis and wanted to jet set all the time so got a job in travel. From there, I worked in a marketing and PR agency hoping to be the female Don Draper and now I work in SaaS.

3) I love writing but I still struggle with punctuation. If someone can explain when to use a semi-colon, that would be great. I throw one in every 60 lines or so just to mix it up.
