That title is no hyperbole.
I don’t know what number you would guess ‘massive’ means, but Ross and his company Siege Media have grown traffic by 250,000-500,000 monthly visits for clients like Zillow, TripAdviser and ZipRecruiter. I’d call that ‘massive’!
I wanted to know how they do this, so I invited him on the show to find out.
We chat about:
- how he estimates if a client will see ROI from content marketing
- his 7-step process of increase traffic by 250,000+ monthly visits
- the qualities of rank-worthy content
- the myth of 10x content
- what people are getting wrong with the Skyscraper Technique
- the curious way in which he learned how to write
- …and a clip of something never released before from … 2013!

Enjoyed the show, learned some things for sure. Came from the Edge of the web podcast. What got me here is you saying you have tools open when you podcast, you did not lie or disappoint 🙂 See you next time…

I honestly jump around a lot but the one ‘show’ I have to say I watch every minute of is Casey Neistat’s Vlog. It’s the best content that exists out there today, in my opinion!
