Data-Driven SEO Strategy for Competitive Markets

Hi, I’m Maiia. For the last 7+ years, my work has focused on one of the most complex areas of search engine optimization: building sustainable organic visibility in highly competitive international markets like iGaming, e-commerce, and media.
Standard approaches often yield insufficient results in these niches. My methodology is built on a foundation of deep, granular analysis. I believe that a successful SEO strategy isn’t about “hacks,” but about understanding the fundamental mechanics of search and building a plan that creates genuine, long-term domain authority.
My process typically involves:
- In-depth Competitive Analysis: Deconstructing the strategies of market leaders to identify opportunities and weaknesses.
- Data-Driven Link Building: Architecting and executing bespoke off-page campaigns that focus on quality and relevance.
- Performance Measurement: Continuously tracking key metrics to ensure the strategy is delivering tangible results.
This analytical approach has been a key factor in achieving significant business outcomes for the teams I’ve worked on, including a 22x increase in Google organic traffic for a international news portal and a 57x traffic growth for a major e-commerce project.
My 18-year background in the digital world, which started with founding a design studio, gives me a holistic perspective. I understand how SEO integrates with brand, user experience, and overarching business goals.
If this methodical, results-oriented approach resonates with you, I would be happy to discuss how it could be applied to your project.
