01 · YouTube SEO campaign
Tiiny.host: 19 evergreen videos, still compounding
These videos continue generating 47K monthly views two years after publication. Each one serves as a persistent entry point in search results. Evergreen assets, not depreciating expenses.
YouTube Studio: channel performance across the 19-video portfolio.
GA4 monthly dashboard: 1.4K views, 56.5% session growth, 100% organic.
02 · Tool-led SEO
GICCalculator.ca: outranking Canada's biggest banks
We built a 5-page financial tool from scratch and ranked it above RBC, Tangerine, and Ratehub with no ads, no backlinks, and no brand recognition. 100% organic traffic.
If a no-name tool outranks Canada's biggest banks, imagine what's possible with your domain authority behind it.Read full case study →
03 · Technical SEO audit
Valery Real Estate: 300,000 broken pages, one audit
One-third of a real estate platform was returning 404 errors after a rebrand. One audit found the root cause. After the fix, organic sessions grew from 974 to 12,276 per week.
Recovery, not growth. But 1,379% year over year is what recovery looks like when a year of authority finally gets to express itself.
