How we ranked 65 pages on Google in 6 weeks. Without backlinks, agencies, or keyword voodoo.
I run a tiny product that automates SEO blogging using AI. Not flashy. No magic dashboard. It just writes and publishes SEO-optimized content. We quietly test it on client sites to see what works.
Here’s what happened with one of them: smsverified.com
The starting point
• Not a huge site
• No prior blog strategy
• No backlinks, no SEO team
• Just a functional landing page, basically
What we did
1. Plugged the URL into our system > it scrapes the site and builds a content plan based on what’s missing
2. AI wrote 1200–1500 word articles > optimized not just for keywords, but for AEO (answer engine optimization), aka search engines and language models
3. We published consistently > daily for 6 weeks
4. Monitored indexing via GSC > no link building, no outreach
The results
📈 From 304 → 1,480 clicks
📈 From 4.8K → 42.8K impressions
📈 65 pages on Google page 1
📈 All in 6 weeks
I know the numbers aren’t mind-blowing compared to enterprise SEO — but for small sites, this is game-changing.
No agency fees. No waiting 6 months. Just compounding traffic.

Lessons we learned
✅ Consistency beats everything: publishing weekly > publishing “perfect”
✅ Write for LLMs, not just Google: answer formatting, headings, context all matter
✅ Backlinks are not the only way: at least for long-tail and informational intent
✅ The bar for “good” content is lower than we think: but structure and clarity matter more

What I’d love to learn from others here:
💬 Has anyone else seen SEO wins without links?
💬 Are you optimizing for ChatGPT-style retrieval now, or still mostly Google?
💬 If you had to automate one part of SEO — what would it be?
I’m here all day and happy to share the exact content structure we used if it’s useful. This wasn’t meant to be a product test. Just something I built to avoid writing client blogs manually. But it’s starting to actually work.
Happy to chat with anyone doing content/SEO in public or experimenting with AEO.
