Playbook for B2B marketers

Organic search

Rank in Google and LLMs by publishing content that answers real buyer questions and attracts high-intent traffic.

Organic search

Introduction

When I started with SEO in 2010, it looked completely different. One of the first tactics we used was hiding keywords in the footer using a blue font on a blue background. Users couldn’t see it, but Google could. It worked back then. Not anymore.

A lot has changed since. Since 2025, ranking in large language models is becoming just as important as ranking in Google. At the same time, traffic from Google is starting to decline for many sites. But that doesn’t mean organic search is dead. If you optimise for both search engines and AI responses, it can still be one of the most reliable ways to attract qualified buyers.

This playbook shows the exact content strategy I’ve used to scale three websites already. It’s based on long-form content and smart structuring, not keyword stuffing or shallow blog posts. It’s built for people who want lasting results instead of short-term tricks.

I’m also documenting how I’m applying the same approach right now to grow Solid Growth. You can follow along and use the same steps to build your own traffic engine.
