Great Content Idea Yields Big Boost in SERP and Income

A designer took their agency's site, which previously got little traffic, to one that receives a steady stream of leads and sales. This took two years to achieve. The person made a post and infographic on how to hard refresh a browser. They posted it on the blog of the agency. After that, they posted it onto a popular discussion site. Two years later, the site's ranking and traffic are through the roof.

The backstory is that a little over one year ago, the designer and their team were coming up with ideas on evergreen content. They had made some previous content about pay per click and did alright with long-tail keywords. A little later, the designer heard a phone conversation of a team member. The team member asked the customer, "Have you tried to hard refresh your browser?" It dawned on the web designer that some evergreen content on how to do a hard refresh of a browser could be useful.

The team then researched how to do this on all platforms and all browsers. After they shared the links on a popular website for web design, back links started to flood into their site. It took about six months for this to happen.

The group started to get universities back linking to their site. They also got other well-respected domains linking to them. They now rank on the first page of Google results, in positions one to five for how to refresh. This SERP has earned them nearly $270,000 per year for two years. They anticipate the amount will double in 2020 because of longer sales cycles.

This person invited other web designers and SEO marketers to ask them anything. The original poster also added that while their production of content went down a little, the quality went up. The increase in quality more than made up for the difference.

One person wondered if the original poster shared their links as sponsored content. The original poster replied that they did not. They just gave it in tips and advice when a person would ask a question about it. For more information click here https://www.reddit.com/r/SEO/comments/ek5x9h/amaitookmyagencyssitetonobarely_any/.
