Side-Project SEO Audit: 45 Clicks in 90 Days
An SEO audit of valuefy.app — a site with 160 calculator pages run by Sampsa (CEO at AImiten) — revealed just 45 total clicks over 90 days despite extensive on-page and automation work. The author had rewritten titles/meta descriptions, deployed daily AI content routines (Claude Code), automated blog publishing, added AI-driven internal linking, and prerendered pages with Puppeteer. Search Console data showed most pages ranking on Google’s page 5–8 with modest impressions; brand queries rank poorly for the site’s own name. The audit found one actionable technical bug (duplicate og:title/og:description tags from static index.html and React Helmet), geographic mismatches in impressions (few U.S. impressions), and concluded that the primary constraint is off‑page authority (backlinks/brand signals) rather than on‑page content alone.
Operational case study with limited industry impact: useful SEO and technical lessons (metadata, prerendering, authority limits) but pertains to a single site and does not change broader AdTech/MarTech dynamics.

Convertify: 0 to 30 Indexed Pages in 3 Weeks
A solo developer documenting the SEO and technical changes behind Convertify, a free image-conversion site, describes how the site moved from zero indexed pages to 30 in three weeks. Key changes included migrating from a Vite React SPA to Next.js App Router with Static Site Generation (186 static pages), adding FAQPage and HowTo JSON-LD schema across pages, expanding each landing page from ~500 to 5,000–7,000 characters, and implementing an internal related-pages linking component to create crawlable clusters. The author also added an About page with Person and WebSite schema for E-E-A-T signals. Early results: indexed pages 0→30, GSC impressions 0→160, unique queries 0→45, and mobile PageSpeed 100/100. The write-up notes weak backlinks and removed Reddit posts as remaining obstacles.
Case study: Google indexes 72 pages in 2 months
Serhii Kalyna published a first-person case study (May 8, 2026) describing early SEO and indexing behavior observed for Convertify, a new site built with Rust + Next.js. At ~2 months the site had 72 indexed pages, ~90 impressions/day, an average position of 40.8 and essentially 1 click. Key interventions that produced measurable early changes were migrating from a client-side SPA to Next.js static site generation (SSG), adding dense internal linking, and applying FAQPage JSON-LD schema. The author outlines an observed timeline for new-site behavior (initial crawl, low-volume query testing, then gradual stabilization over 2–12 months) and reports that short-term backlink efforts had little effect.
