This is the right approach, but I think people underestimate how long it takes to see signals nowadays. Two months is basically nothing, especially in a competitive space like this. My first projects usually looked dead for months before anything started moving. I wouldn't expect SEO to bring serious traffic that early. I'd keep publishing, improving existing pages, building topical depth and trying to get some real mentions/backlinks. X can help with getting initial users, but I wouldn't rely on it as the main growth channel. The biggest mistake is usually trying to compete on everything at once. Pick a narrow angle where bigger sites don't care to fight and become the obvious resource there. It’s slower, but probably still works without a massive budget.
I agree. This space is so competitive that it really tests your patience. Two months is barely enough time to judge whether something is working. SEO, especially in competitive niches, often takes months before you start seeing meaningful results.
What would you recommend to someone buying backlinks?
Yeah, I’d try to build a backlink profile, but I’m not really strong in link building
the key is to find right seo guys, and don't burn budget on nothing
Ha, funny enough. Link building is literally my day job. Been doing it about 16 years now, somewhere north of 5,000 brands at this point. I was asking because I'm always curious how people outside the link building bubble think about it. The answers are usually more honest than what us SEO folks tell each other.
