In this podcast episode, we spoke with Andreea Stefan, the SEO Lead at Planable, a social media content collaboration and approval platform.

Andreea Stefan has spent the last 8 years in marketing agencies and client-side, creating and executing SEO strategies, building SEO teams, and managing resources for organic growth. Now, she is the SEO Lead @ Planable.io.

In the last 2 years at Planable, her focus has been building their topical authority from the ground up, setting up a healthy SEO foundation, and scaling content production without sacrificing quality. They started this year with 30,000 monthly organic visits, and they're now at 80,000+. They've doubled the number of revenue-generating blog posts, and they've seen a 250% increase in ARR from organic traffic.

We discussed the approach Andreea took in driving a 250% increase in ARR and doubling organic traffic to Planable's website by focusing on a thorough SEO foundation and effectively strategizing content.

We covered several pivotal components of their strategy, such as:

Content pruning
Proper keyword and persona research
Creating detailed content briefs
Leveraging AI but also capitalizing on expert opinions for a unique content touch
And collaborative efforts among freelance writers and in-house team.

With their focus on quality over quantity and a spectrum of content that caters to the different stages of their customers' journey, Planable has created a recipe for a winning organic strategy.
