In this live, conversational coaching session, Nir Zavaro and SEO consultant Dave Burnett walk through the recovery and optimization of Nir's hacked WordPress site. They begin by reviewing Google Analytics data, noting active users, acquisition channels, and a puzzling lack of country data, then drill into referral traffic to uncover tracking anomalies and potential AI‑generated search referrals (e.g., Google AI overviews). They discuss the three audiences a site must serve—human visitors, Google Search, and large language models—and the implications for content strategy. The duo installs and configures a schema markup plugin to add structured data, verifies it with Google’s Rich Results Test, and emphasizes the importance of schema for machine readability. Using Google Search Console they assess indexing health, compare indexed versus non‑indexed pages (down from hundreds of thousands to a few dozen), and identify 404 errors and sitemap issues. Nir highlights his 9,000‑word "Guide to Scaling with Storytelling," a free pillar piece designed to teach and convert readers, and they outline a plan to boost impressions, clicks, and CTR by targeting low‑competition long‑tail keywords and improving meta descriptions. Throughout, they stress rapid, iterative fixes, modest budgeting for SEO versus paid ads, and the value of delivering high‑quality, educational content to drive business growth. The session ends with a recap, a call to action for viewers to reach out with questions, and a preview of the next episode focusing on deeper content creation tactics.
