Vibe SEO
Most agencies hide their process.
We published ours.
Every phase, every tool, every deliverable is on this page. Read exactly how we take a site from invisible to ranked, then decide whether to run it yourself with our plugin or hand it to our team.
Seven phases, start to compounding.
One-time setup, then the ongoing phases run in parallel every week. Here is the shape of it.
Discovery & Audit
Technical Foundation
On-Page Optimization
Local & Geographic
Content Production
Authority Building
Reporting
SEO is not magic. It is a checklist most firms will not show you.
Most agencies keep their methodology opaque because mystery is easier to bill for. We do the opposite. The work itself is the differentiator, not the marketing. You can read every phase, see every tool we use, and decide for yourself whether to run it in-house with our plugin or hand it to our team. Either way, you should know exactly what you are paying for.
Every phase, in the open.
What happens, the tools behind it, and exactly what lands in your account.
Discovery & Audit
We map what is already there before we change a single thing.
- Connect Google Search Console and pull 16 months of every query, click, impression, and average position.
- Connect the Google Business Profile and pull impressions, calls, direction requests, and photo views.
- Crawl every published URL on the site, sitemap-driven, to find what exists and what is missing.
- Score the technical baseline: indexation, Core Web Vitals, schema coverage, crawl and redirect health.
- Identify striking-distance queries already ranking positions 5 to 15, the fastest wins to prioritize.
A clear baseline: where you rank today, what is holding the site back, and the prioritized list of what we fix first.
Technical Foundation
The boring but critical infrastructure most agencies skip.
- Emit Organization and LocalBusiness JSON-LD schema sitewide, Google’s richest signal of who you are.
- Generate an XML sitemap with per-post-type sub-sitemaps and submit it to Search Console.
- Wire IndexNow so Bing and Yandex re-crawl the moment a page changes.
- Fix crawl and index blockers: canonicals, redirects, noindex mistakes, and orphaned pages.
- Tune Core Web Vitals and mobile-first basics so speed stops holding rankings back.
A site Google can crawl, understand, and trust: clean schema, healthy indexation, and a sitemap it checks on every change.
On-Page Optimization
Every page earns a focus, a tuned title, and a real internal-link structure.
- Set a focus keyphrase per page, researched against the striking-distance queries from the audit.
- Rewrite the SEO title to 50 to 60 characters with the keyphrase verbatim, action verb forward, brand last.
- Write a meta description built to earn the click, not just to describe the page.
- Fix heading structure so one clear H1 and logical H2s tell Google what the page is about.
- Build internal links from relevant pages so authority flows to what you want ranked.
- Add descriptive alt text to every meaningful image for accessibility and image search.
Every page tuned to one intent and wired into the site, so Google knows exactly what to rank you for.
Local & Geographic SEO
For service businesses, what makes you findable in every city and neighborhood you serve.
- Pull every city and neighborhood in your service radius from OpenStreetMap, free public data with no third-party fees.
- Filter out condos, senior-living complexes, and townhome names that Google does not treat as real places.
- Generate a hand-quality page for each real city and neighborhood, unique and indexable, not thin duplicates.
- Optimize and post to the Google Business Profile weekly, plus a reply on every review, positive or negative.
- Build citations across Yelp, BBB, and industry directories, 50 to 100 depending on the niche.
- Run a NAP consistency audit so name, address, and phone match on every citation.
Geographically targeted pages live and indexed within 30 days, a GBP optimized and posting weekly, and a citation profile cleaned up and growing.
Content Production
Content that ranks for buyer-intent queries, not blog filler.
- Pull striking-distance queries from Search Console each week, the ones already ranking 5 to 15.
- Generate a content brief: outline, search intent, entities to cover, FAQs to answer, and internal-link picks.
- Draft the piece at 1,500 to 3,000 words, sized to beat the length and depth of the current top three.
- A human editor polishes for voice, accuracy, and the niche knowledge AI does not have.
- Publish on a 7-day cycle, a weekly post minimum and up to three per week on higher tiers.
- Inject 3 to 5 internal links from existing pages so the new post ranks faster.
- Refresh decaying content we catch slipping in the monthly position-history snapshots.
- Build a pillar and cluster architecture so authority concentrates where it counts.
A steady stream of search-targeted articles that build topical authority and pull in buyers, with every post interlinked to rank faster.
Authority Building
Inbound links from real publications remain a top ranking factor. We earn them on purpose.
- Write press releases tied to real events: a new service, a new location, a milestone, a partnership.
- Distribute to 500 to 550 outlets, cadence set by what authority growth requires, not a forced calendar slot.
- Grow the citation and directory footprint that anchors local trust.
- Track referring domains and Domain Rating so link growth is measured, not assumed.
A rising authority profile built from real coverage and clean citations, the trust signal that separates page one from page five.
Reporting & Communication
You see exactly what we did, what moved, and what is next.
- A white-label PDF report emailed on the 1st of every month.
- Per-keyword position changes, week over week and month over month.
- Per-page click and impression changes straight from Search Console, sorted by percent gain.
- New backlinks acquired this month, with the referring domain named.
- A plain-English summary of what shipped and what is queued next.
Real numbers from Google’s own data, not vanity charts. You always know what you paid for and what it moved.
The typical agency vs Vibe SEO.
Same industry, opposite approach. Here is where it actually diverges.
The whole process runs on our own software.
This is not a slide deck. Every phase above is powered by the Vibe SEO plugin, so the work is systematic, consistent, and fast. That is why we can publish it: the process is the product. Hire our team to run it for you, or install the plugin and run it yourself.
What the first 90 days look like.
