2. Content Strategy that Drives Value
High-quality content increases organic traffic, time-on-site and conversions — all directly tied to site value.
- Topical authority: publish comprehensive pillar pages and cluster content around core keywords (use keyword research -> internal linking).
- Buyer intent content: add comparison pages, pricing pages, and “best of” lists that attract high-converting traffic.
- Update & expand: refresh high-traffic pages with new data, examples and internal links.
- Schema & FAQs: add JSON-LD (FAQ, HowTo) to increase SERP real estate and CTR.
3. Build High-Quality Backlinks (Authority)
- Quality over quantity: aim for relevant links from reputable sites (industry sites, news, niche blogs).
- Guest posts & partnerships: create cornerstone content to secure editorial links.
- Broken-link outreach: find broken pages on authority sites and propose your resource as a replacement.
- Internal link structure: funnel link equity to money pages (product, revenue, lead capture pages).
4. Optimize Revenue & Conversion (Increase RPM)
Website value is usually a multiple of profit — increase site revenue per visitor to directly boost valuation.
- Improve ad layout & RPM: test ad positions, sizes and viewability; improve CTR and RPM.
- Monetization mix: combine ads, affiliate offers, premium content or digital products for diversified revenue.
- Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO): A/B test CTAs, forms, and landing layouts to increase signups/sales.
- User trust signals: add reviews, case studies, clear policies and fast support to increase buyer confidence.
5. Reduce Risk & Improve Trust Signals
- Remove spammy backlinks and disavow low-quality domains if necessary.
- Fix security warnings (Google SafeBrowsing) and ensure no malware or flagged content.
- Stable traffic: show consistent traffic (3–12 months) rather than short spikes — buyers value stable businesses more.
- Document processes: maintain SOPs, analytics access, and revenue reports for potential buyers.
