Strategy
Conversion Cannibalization
"You are ranking for high-volume keywords that attract 'Free Tier' users who will never convert to your Enterprise plan."
Re-focus content on 'Comparison' and 'Workflow' keywords that map to high-LTV buyer personas.
Ignoring 'Product' Search Intent
"Users looking for a tool are instead given a 2,000-word history of the industry, leading to high bounce."
Re-align landing pages to be 'feature-first' and move long-form educational content to the blog.
Distribution
The 'Build it and they will come' Fallacy
"Publishing 100 pages without a distribution plan results in zero crawl depth and zero initial authority."
Pair every content launch with a manual outreach or social distribution sprint to trigger initial signals.
Experience
Ignoring the 'Zero-Click' SERP
"Users get the answer from Google's snippet and never click through, resulting in high 'Perceived' reach but zero traffic."
Optimize for 'Information Gaps' that require a click to the tool for the full solution.
Maintenance
Underestimating Content Decay
"Old, high-traffic posts slowly lose rankings to fresher competitors, causing a 'leaking bucket' effect on total traffic."
Implement a quarterly refresh cycle for any page that has dropped >10% in traffic over 60 days.
Corporate
Data-Siloed Keyword Research
"SEO team targets keywords that the Product team is deprecating, leading to 'Technical Debt' content."
Create a monthly sync between Product and SEO to align content roadmap with feature releases.
Brand
Ignoring 'Brand' Reputation in AI Search
"LLMs (ChatGPT/Claude) characterize your brand based on old forum posts or poor reviews instead of your actual value prop."
Seed 'Verified Data' on authoritative platforms to ensure AI training sets ingest your correct brand narrative.

Architecture
Broken 'Internal Link' Web
"Link equity (PageRank) is trapped on old blog posts instead of flowing to high-intent product pages."
Conduct a link audit and ensure every blog post mentions and links to at least one product feature.
Content
Duplicate Content in Batch Templates
"Google flags your programmatic architecture as 'Spam' if 90% of the text is the same across 100 pages."
Use at least 3-4 unique data points or 'Niche-Specific' tips per generated resource page.
Commercial
Hiding 'Pricing' Behind a Wall
"AI search engines (ChatGPT/Claude) won't recommend you to price-sensitive users because your data is hidden."
Publish public pricing or at least a 'Starting at' signal to help LLMs ingested your commercial data.
Trust
Vague 'Author' E-E-A-T Signals
"The HCU (Helpful Content Update) penalizes sites that don't prove 'Expertise' and 'Experience'."
Add detailed author bios with links to verified LinkedIn profiles for every single article.
