I wanna share all my startup experience, one topic at a time,
Today it's ---SEO---
In the past years, I generated over 1B impressions and 1M clicks from SEO.
Everything I've done:
📁 Domain names
↳ Use: .com, .org, .dev, .ai, .io
↳ Use keyword-like naming, e.g. osssoftware dot org
↳ Max 14 letters in a domain name
↳ No “-” or “_”
↳ One topic per domain when possible
↳ Pick www or non-www and stick to that one version (one redirects to another one)
📁 Tech SEO
↳ Make sure the page renders HTML when bots make requests
↳ One way to check it:
↳ Drop your URL into Claude
↳ Ask if it’s doing everything right for tech SEO
↳ There are many more details, but really, Claude or Codex will lay it all down for you if you show it your website
↳ HTTPS on
↳ Mobile-friendly
↳ Fast enough that it doesn’t feel broken
↳ PageSpeed Insights is enough
↳ Open GSC web-vitals and if it's green then all good
↳ Short, stable URLs
↳ Url slug should match the meta title and h1
↳ No random strings
↳ One H1 per page
↳ Unique title + unique meta per page
↳ Image alt text on anything that matters
↳ Canonical URL on every indexable page that has no query string in it
↳ Fix 404s and redirect chains
↳ No orphan pages
↳ Every important URL should have at least one internal link pointing to it (seogets shows all such pages)
📁 Indexing
↳ Add sitemap.xml to Google Search Console
↳ See if all the pages are indexed
↳ If not, run @indexrusher
↳ Do the same for Bing and Yandex via indexrusher
↳ robots.txt should be there and allow your public pages, again, ask chatgpt to check your robots.txt
↳ Request indexing in GSC for new pages or run indexrusher to automate this
↳ Check Coverage / Pages reports
↳ Fix “crawled – currently not indexed” on pages that should rank
↳ Don’t waste crawl budget (don't create too many pages, too many folders, tags, groupss...at least right away, you better do it later once the first bulk is indexed)
📁 Analytics
↳ Google Search Console
↳ Ahrefs small plan
↳ @seogets + @DataFast_
↳ Once a week, look at:
↳ Queries with impressions but few clicks (take the queries pointing to these pages and embed them into h1 and meta title)
↳ Pages that used to get clicks and then decayed (update the content here)
📁 Low hanging fruit
↳ Pages already in positions 8–20
↳ Those are closer to page 1 than any new article
↳ Add the exact query(if makes sense) to H1 / title / H2
↳ Add one missing section the current top results have
↳ Queries with lots of impressions and almost no clicks
↳ Rewrite title + meta, keep the keyword
↳ Old pages that already get a little traffic
↳ Update them before writing a new one (google kinda loves to see pages being regularly updated)
↳ Pages Google knows but didn’t index
↳ Request indexing manually page by page, or run @indexrusher (if it doesn't help, remove them, cuz google wont index them ever)
↳ Thin pages fighting each other for the same query
↳ Keep the stronger URL
↳ Merge or 301 the weaker one
📁 Quick 5min SEO hacks
↳ Paste a URL into GSC → URL Inspection → Request indexing
↳ Put the target keyword in the first 60 characters of the title
↳ Add the main query into the H1 if it’s missing
↳ Add 2 internal links from old posts to the page I want to push
↳ Add alt text to the first image on the page
↳ Add a 3-question FAQ at the bottom using GSC queries
↳ Submit / resubmit sitemap.xml in GSC
↳ Search site:mydomain and see if the pages are indexed and how they look like
↳ Google my brand + product keyword
↳ If a page mentions me with no link, ask them to add one
↳ Ask ChatGPT “best tool for [keyword]”
↳ Open the cited URLs
↳ Email those authors the same day (offer them either money or a link exchange)
↳ Post the article URL on X / LinkedIn / Reddit with the keyword in the first line
↳ Drop the URL into Claude: “what 5 on-page fixes can I do in 5 minutes?”
📁 Blog
↳ Write 1 good blog post a week
↳ Do it manually with some AI assistance
↳ Focus on the most promising keywords where you already rank high
↳ Use @seobotai to generate more blog articles
↳ See if some of them get traction
↳ Manually turn the promising ones from AI-generated into high-quality human-made articles
↳ Before writing, search Google for the keyword
↳ Match the format that already ranks
↳ Answer the question better than the current top 5
↳ Put original stuff in the article
↳ Screenshots
↳ My own numbers
↳ What I actually tried (basically ensure google that this article comes from a human's own experience)
↳ Refresh old posts that already get impressions
↳ Update the date only if the content actually changed (avoid hacks here, do real updates)
↳ Useful page types on top of the weekly post:
↳ “best X”
↳ “X vs Y”
↳ “X alternatives”
↳ “how to” for the exact job my product does
📁 Backlinks
↳ Ask ChatGPT: “What’s the best tool for...”
↳ See the URLs it used to form the response
↳ Reach out to all those authors
↳ Ask them to include my URL in exchange for money or a backlink from you
↳ Do the same in Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini and Grok
↳ Search Google for your keywords
↳ Find the pages that already rank
↳ Do the same as above
↳ List on as many directories as possible using @listingbott
↳ Link all my pages across all my websites when possible
↳ Do internal linking on each site too
↳ Between blog articles
↳ Between pages
↳ Extra places that still work:
↳ Guest posts on sites that already rank for my keywords
↳ “best tools” roundups
↳ Unlinked brand mentions
↳ Search Google for my brand name
↳ Ask them to turn the mention into a link
↳ When I link out or guest post, I want the page to have:
↳ Real traffic
↳ A topic close to mine
↳ A link that looks natural on the page (avoid spam at all cost)
📁 Social media SEO
↳ Social media gets indexed instantly
↳ Reddit
↳ X
↳ Substack
↳ LinkedIn
↳ Monitor hot, growing keywords and trends
↳ Google Trends
↳ Radar on X
↳ Produce posts around those trends
↳ Place some of the product links inside
↳ Find relevant social media posts via Google Search
↳ Plug my product into the comments when it brings some value
↳ No spam
↳ Put the keyword in the first line of the post
↳ Turn each good blog post into (and link back to the original url with a backlinks, cuz social media backlinks in my experience have really high weight for google):
↳ 1 X thread
↳ 1 LinkedIn post
↳ 1 Reddit answer where it actually helps
↳ Reply under bigger posts in my niche
↳ Useful reply first
↳ Link only if it adds something
📁 AI search
↳ Same game as SEO
↳ Ask ChatGPT / Claude / Perplexity / Gemini:
↳ “What’s the best tool for [my keyword]?”
↳ “Best alternatives to [competitor]”
↳ See if they mention me
↳ If not, look at who they mentioned and get onto those same pages by paying them or doing a link exchange

That's it for now.
I'll share the next topic in my next tweet. What should it be?
Also, i put it all in great details into my Founder Guide: guide.johnrush.me/

In an endless sea of crappy vibe-coded SEO tools there is @seogets
Such a great tool that saves SEOs real time in their day-to-day that is also agent-foward in its development.
A good example of a SaaS built by someone with good 'taste'. Keep it up!!!!
seogets retweeted
The deadline is approaching to enter the 2026 #USSearchAwards - and since @seogets isn't entering, you might have a chance in the "Best SEO Tool" category ussearchawards.com/
We've just upgraded our MCP to be a custom connector! This makes it 100x easier and faster to get it set up and running. 🔥
You should check it out and let us know what you'd like to see next!

Amazing to see that one of my favorite SEO tools, @seogets, now has a free tier again… yes, you can use it for free.
SEO Gets has quickly become my day-to-day tool for easily analyzing GSC/GA4 trends with 🔥 features like:
* Content group / topic cluster performance
* Identifying growing or decaying topics, queries, and pages in a click
* Combined indexing reporting along with clicks / impressions data
* … and more!
I had the awesome chance to meet the awesome @MattMelli last month in Boston at the #SEOFOMO meetup, where he invited me to become one of the new ambassadors for the tool: providing feedback and helping promote its 🔥 features.
And I instantly said yes… because it’s so good. And now also available for free.
Check it out: seogets(.)com 🙌

A new 🔥 release from @screamingfrog with v24.0, including their official MCP! This is one of those AI + SEO updates that I find genuinely useful, because it can help reduce a lot of the repetitive manual work involved in pulling, exporting, segmenting, and combining crawl data with other sources.
Used alongside other SEO tools MCPs already available, like @Similarweb , @semrush , @seogets , Glippy, @ahrefs , etc. it opens the door to more practical workflows where you can easily integrate crawl, visibility, keyword, traffic, backlink, and competitive data faster.
For example:
✅ Segment crawl data at scale
✅ Compare technical issues with performance signals
✅ Combine different data sources without endless exports/imports
✅ Identify patterns that would otherwise take much longer to spot
✅ Spend more time validating, prioritizing, and deciding what to do next
That’s the part I’m interested in: not replacing the analysis, but making it less painful to get to the useful part of the analysis.
My only wish is that I didn’t have to burn so many credits across some of these tools to get the information I actually need 😅
And of course, the usual caveat: validate everything. The data still needs to be accurate, and the output needs to be checked. Especially when combining multiple sources or asking AI to interpret the results. I have trust issues, sorry.
But overall, this is a very useful direction for SEO workflows: better access to the data we already use, less manual handling, and more time spent on actual SEO thinking.
If you haven't yet tested it, do it now 🙌
Our MCP allows you to set up prioritized content groups & topic clusters using your GSC data so LLMs have better context when you ask that question.
With the content change tracking coming soon, which will provide even better context to the MCP, I'm sure you'll love it.

Getting started with the @seogets MCP server. Neat stuff! Lots to work on but easy to get up and running. Thanks guys!!

Give @seogets a try. It's definitely one of my go-tos.
Not affiliated with them, just love what they've done, continue to do and the simplicity of their software for my use case.
seogets retweeted
The Content Decay map tool in @seogets is priceless. You can see at a glance all your articles which need to be updated for freshness. Strongly recommended for people running big content operations. Plus there is a free trial you can use to test it out first.

Keep your eyes on @seogets - They just added a filter to show Google discover data on their GSC dashboards and *Spoiler alert* they're working on getting GA data in their killer UX interface
seogets retweeted
I use @seogets - I love it. I had used SEOTesting previously - it felt pricier compared to seogets. Ahrefs is in my daily toolkit, but I feel like I'm moving towards using existing Google tools and getting the maximum out of them. However, I want to try a Google Analytics alternative and I'm looking to give datafa.st a try. I have never used paid ga4 alternatives till now.
If anyone has other good tools to share, please let me know. I'm a tools addict 🤣
seogets retweeted
Gotta say it, @seogets is what Google Search Console would be like if it was made by SEOs, small but mighty tool, I am a fan!
Have been using it for a bit on a few personal websites, super fun to have reports for cannibalization, content decay, etc available with one click!
seogets retweeted
👀 Useful release from @seogets, with new filters that allow us to see the performance of queries in the top 10 or tp 20 positions from Google Search Console! See the difference in fluctuation/shift in impressions / avg position with and without it applied on September 12 👇
A few notes:
* These filters are only available for those domains with Super Sites Integration (because of GSC API restrictions).
* It's only displaying non-anomyzed queries (because that's how they get average ranking).
* It's looking at the average rank on the daily level to determine if it should be counted. If it ranks position 6 on day 1, and position 100 on day 2, it would only include day one's stats, even though the average rank of the two days is 53.

eCom SEO is easy.
1. Open GSC, determine 10-20 highest performing collection pages.
2. Use @seogets to identify queries that each page ranks for but isn't present on the page (or only present once).
3. Add these queries into the copy, preferably in headings or near start of sentences.
4. Build internal links from 4-5 (minimum) of the other top 10-20 collection pages to the page you just updated the copy on.
5. Repeat for the other 10-20 collections.
Then repeat for your product pages (minus the internal links).
Then repeat for your blog posts (if you have some).
Repeat this for as many batches of pages as you have or plan to create.
Build backlinks to power up the entire system.
Drop your brand name all over Reddit.

@seogets is everything I always dreamed of developing for myself. Incredibly helpful. Makes what you're already using GSC for, so easier 👍🏻

Amazing update from @seogets:
- Indexing report 🤓
You're building a super-useful tool @goenning @MattMelli,
for real! 🚀

My favorite @seogets feature is annotations. Not because it's the most useful, but because I use this exact one when we start contracts with new clients. And I love that green, baby.
Oh, and it's even better than this looks: The 9% improvement you see here (just the immediate improvement) is actually +23% if you compare the last 28 days to the 28 days prior to our contract starting.
(This is a recipe site that's been brutally dropping in the last ~2 years after structuring all of their content from lame SEO advice. One of the most satisfying things to see is that better, more user-first content is the RIGHT WAY TO WIN right now.)
