1.3 million backlinks, No SEO - Help ballparking the importance of SEO

I'm in an organization that has been around for a long time and has a website with no SEO. Their site has 1.3 million backlinks but only gets about 2 thousand organic clicks per month. The domain authority was very high (78/100 on the free tool I was using).

The membership of this organization skews (much) older and I would like to help them understand the potential their site has for driving traffic.

I have tried to explain it in writing, then through a video that I made specifically explaining SEO and the opportunity for the site. I haven't heard back all that much.

I cannot ballpark how much traffic a site like this could bring in, let me know your thoughts.

Possible questions:

Would it be pretty easy to bring a million visitors a month if we started publishing articles on the right keywords?

How many articles would you guess it would take to bring in 100k or 1 million visitors a month? Are these numbers too high or too low?

I am familiar with Yoast/RankMath and keyword research - That is enough knowledge to get the ball rolling correct?

I am hoping to share this thread with the leadership and make a real impact!

Legit Reviews

The google review thing is insane I have gotten 2 legit verified reviews that i ask client to screenshot and observe goolge not post them, pretend like they never happened and when i sent them the image a policy message was sent . As I was browsing through the google forum a lot of ppl are getting hit with legit reviews being removed. While all this is going on i have observe a company go from 12 reviews to 65 reviews in a two month period with some stuff that dont make sense on some of them. Seems like a new business or profile is being limited while aged accounts can have a free for fall but who really knows. Still waiting for a resolution on a if any. submitted by /u/Ok-Bowl-6167 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/zkbfgDH

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns. I was going to do the same with some input from the client about what cities or towns he would like to show up in? submitted by /u/Letmeinterviewyou [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2JHy0k0

7 SEO Lessons I've Learned in 2025 (So Far) - From Building a Competitor Analysis Tool

Hey r/SEO , I've been spending a lot of time lately building a competitor keyword research tool (more on that below!), and it's really forced me to dig deep into how SEO works today . Here are some of the key lessons I've learned – hopefully, they're helpful to you too: Keyword Gaps Are Gold: It's not enough to just know what keywords your competitors rank for. You need to know what they rank for that you don't . This is where the real opportunities lie. Focusing on these "gap" keywords has been a game-changer for my own site. (This is actually why I built the tool – to make finding these gaps easier). Relevance > Volume (Sometimes): High search volume is great, but relevance is even more important. A keyword with 100 searches per month that's perfectly aligned with your niche and audience is often more valuable than a keyword with 10,000 searches that's only tangentially related. I've seen much better results targeting tho...
