Challenge

Anthony Iannarino's blog had outgrown its infrastructure. With 100,000+ subscribers and daily publishing, the platform couldn't keep up.

SEO focused on topical authority through strategic internal linking, long-tail keyword targeting, and technical improvements to site speed and crawlability.
