# Basic SEO brings 50 visits a day in week one

September 14, 2026

One week in and this site is up to 50 visits a day from SEO.

For contrast, I launched another site two days after this that's getting some traffic but not to the same level yet.

These are boring local service markets where basic SEO, good data, and good content works well.
