The Challenge

Organic SEO traffic had declined 41% due to technical debt and lack of prioritization. Organic traffic was the highest converting channel, and recovery required buy-in from product, content, and engineering—all while maintaining an already deep backlog.

Technical Debt

Resource Competition

SEO competing with revenue features for engineering resources

Cross-Functional Silos

No unified approach across content, product, and engineering teams
