Wouldn't it be nice to use SEO to grow businesses to 6-7-figure exits within just a year or two?

That's what our latest guest on the Niche Pursuits podcast does.

His name is Dmitry Dragilev, and over the years, he's refined a repeatable process he's used to sell an app, SaaS, and affiliate site to companies like Google and Semrush.

To accomplish this, Dmitry stresses the significance of employing a well-thought-out exit plan and a consistent approach to business growth - particularly through SEO strategies - keyword research, and backlinking techniques.

Dmitry candidly discusses his SEO mistakes over the years, such as targeting incorrect keywords and underestimating the ongoing efforts required to rank high in Google.

He shares some good general advice, like starting with low-volume keywords and gradually progressing to more competitive ones. And emphasizes the importance of niche authority and recommends steering clear of broad topics for enhanced SEO outcomes.

A particularly interesting insight is how he looks for weaknesses in the SERPs - thin pages and those lacking any helpful content for the desired search term.

Drawing from his experience of selling businesses to major companies, he underscores the importance of fostering connections and relationships in achieving business success. And some of the value propositions online businesses should target for better sales terms.

Dmitry also provides valuable insights on pitfalls to avoid when building a business.

Overall, this is a discussion on good practices for SEO and even business more generally. And it's certainly interesting to hear from someone who has experience like his!
