A full SEO and content marketing strategy built from scratch — from keyword research and on-page optimization to Google Analytics 4 setup and organic growth.
Ace My Tennis is a tennis lifestyle blog covering tips, gear reviews, and mental game strategies. After setting up GA4, the data revealed nearly zero organic visibility — and a clear roadmap to fix it.
Using SEMrush and Google Search Console, I identified low-competition, high-intent keywords across the three content pillars — where a newer domain can realistically rank.
Before any optimization, I set up GA4 from scratch — creating a measurement foundation so every decision going forward could be data-driven.
Configured GA4 with data streams, cross-domain tracking, and linked Search Console for keyword-level data in reports.
Set up custom events for scroll depth, outbound link clicks, and contact form submissions to understand real engagement.
Built reports tracking organic traffic by landing page, top-performing keywords, bounce rate by post, and audience demographics.
Linked GSC to monitor impressions, CTR, and average position for target keywords — feeding data back into content decisions.
Analyzed traffic breakdown by device and source to prioritize mobile optimization and identify top referral channels.
Created a recurring reporting structure to track month-over-month organic growth, top content, and keyword improvements.
After setting up GA4 and analyzing the last 28 days (Feb 25 – Mar 24, 2026), here is exactly where the site stands — and why there is a massive opportunity to grow.
Traffic is at its very early stage. Referral is #1 source (8 sessions), meaning organic search hasn't been activated yet.
Only 3 organic sessions — but with 66.67% engagement rate and 18s avg time, organic visitors are the most engaged.
Very low overall — driven down by direct traffic with 0% engagement. Signals a UX and content structure issue.
The homepage gets 70% of all traffic but bounces most visitors. Improving CTAs and internal links is a priority fix.
Each channel plays a specific role — SEO captures search demand, content builds authority, social drives discovery, and email brings readers back.
Fix on-page SEO, target low-difficulty keywords, submit sitemap, add schema markup.
Publish 1 SEO-optimized post per week. Build pillar pages in Month 2 for topical authority.
Turn every blog post into Instagram content. Use Linktree to drive followers to the blog.
Build a list with a free lead magnet. Weekly newsletter to drive repeat traffic from Month 2.
