How boring site tweaks drove $1.2M ARR: an 8-step SEO/AEO playbook
DrDatta_AIIMS · x · 2026-08-19
Growth writer kosukeagos shares how hitting $1.2M ARR came from boring, tiny site tweaks rather than virality or ad spend. He frames website optimization in three stages: building a foundation Google and AI engines can crawl and understand, attracting visitors with useful content, and converting visitors into signups and purchases with data.
Ranking on Google alone isn't enough — if AI engines can't parse your content or visitors don't grasp the value, results won't come. The thread lays out 8 steps with prompts, starting with using data to identify which stage is actually broken before improving it with a clear goal.
