Many entrepreneurs assume that SEO growth requires a dedicated marketing team and a large budget. In reality, what matters most is a system that compounds results over time. We grew organic traffic from 800 to 4,300 visitors in five months on a budget of less than $1,000 per month. Here is exactly how we did it — and how you can apply the same approach.
Step 1: Build a structure that can scale
Most websites grow without a clear plan. Pages are added ad hoc, making it difficult for search engines to navigate and for visitors to find what they need. We took the opposite approach by creating a strict hierarchy. Each country had a main page, subpages for trademarks, patents and designs, and five detailed service pages for each category — covering actions like search, filing, renewal and oppositions. That allowed us to target very specific queries, such as “patent renewal in Canada” with a dedicated page.
The entire framework was built on a single template, which made scaling easy. Once the model was ready, we could expand to dozens of countries without redesigning. In the first round, we launched 950 service pages across 50 countries. To improve usability, every page included a simple country switcher on the first screen so users could instantly move between jurisdictions. Here is an example of the structure in practice: trademark registration in the USA. This framework became the backbone of our SEO growth.
