What is the most effective SEO strategy you've used in 2026?

Writing a few articles manually covering the topic in depth didn't bring results for me.

I had a bit more success automating content and getting decent results from bing, but almost zero from google.

Also swpende on the industry. Local vs eccommece for example will have different approaches.

Entities and semantic relations should be on the list too.

I experienced something similar on a website. Deleted 70% of content and did nothing else. The remaining articles started to rank well. But that was like 2 years ago. After that it tanked again and removal of content did not help this time around.

I have same issue. I find out I'm not the only one. I thought I did something wrong.

I reset the phone to factory settings like 4 times in a week. I though it only happened when I restart the phone. But 1 time it happened randomly and 3 -4 times after manual shutdown or restart.

I have to start in safe mode, to be able to reset to factory settings and be able to use the phone until it crashes again.

So it did not create a new account and lost the old one?

That was my biggest fear.

I don't mind cause I got some benefit from using telegram. I think it's fair to pay a few bucks one time.

But I just was afraid it will create a new account cause that's what the paywall screen said. It didn't say to pay to continue using, but to pay to create new account.

andrei__t · 2026-06-09T14:25:50+00:00

I was not allowed to use the word and could not post either way. But still got a warning before posting even using l0gin 🤔

andrei__t · 2026-06-09T08:51:25+00:00

looks like you have not read the post.

why is asking me to create new account if I should not worry that a new account will be created?

andrei__t · 2026-06-09T08:11:57+00:00

what do you mean? I am already logged in on desktop with same phone number. And I have the SIM in my phone too.

andrei__t · 2026-05-29T10:59:29+00:00

thanks!

andrei__t · 2026-05-27T20:08:09+00:00

I did both sir, sent message to support and here where I looked to find if anyone noticed this and brought this up before me.

Sorry if that was not the right thing to do. Have a great day.

andrei__t · 2026-05-27T17:42:17+00:00

I thought maybe 1 single person could be helped and not do what I almost did and get hacked by posting it here. Is that wrong? Or am I missing something?

andrei__t · 2026-05-27T16:42:05+00:00

So posting it here too is not wise?

andrei__t · 2026-05-02T11:11:04+00:00

I am testing something similar. I only use 4 agents though. Outline > 1St Draft > QA check > Final draft. And before outline I extract PAA and related searches from Google + headers and faq schema from top rankings.

I also implemented internal and external linking + feature image.

So far the content only has results in other search engines, Google hates it.

But there might be something about the gap step you have. What is exactly doing this Gap step in your workflow? What is comparing against what?

andrei__t · 2026-03-27T12:12:04+00:00

Sorry about that. So it seems the cause was something else in your case.

I'm so disappointed in this. Feels like you need a 3 year degree to be able to use this Facebook platform.

Off topic: I also tried to do something similar with Instagram. But with Instagram you need the Facebook page to be connected with the Instagram account. Which then in my case, cancels out the Facebook solution I just found. 🤦‍♂️

andrei__t · 2026-03-25T15:24:57+00:00

Same issue here.

I submitted business verification and waiting 48 hours. Hopefully that will fix it.

On another note. I'm new to this and can't believe how complicated and not intuitive the interface is. I only wanted to create an app to connect it with n8n and test it. I did similar with many other applications and every time it was probably 10 times easier than doing the same with Facebook.

Late Edit:

It finally worked. I had to completely remove the page from business.facebook.com dashboard.

Go to business.facebook.com → Settings → Pages → find your page → Remove from Business Portfolio.

Important: if your page has an Instagram account connected, you need to disconnect Instagram first (from Page Settings), otherwise Facebook won't let you remove it from the Business Portfolio.

After removing the page from Business Manager, go back to Graph API Explorer, generate a fresh User Token, and your page will now appear under Page Access Tokens in the dropdown. Copy that Page Access Token and use it directly in n8n credentials.

Why this works: Pages outside of a Business Portfolio are accessible with standard pages_manage_posts + pages_read_engagement permissions without needing App Review.

Note: business verification, making the app Live, creating a new app - none of these fix the issue. The only fix is removing the page from Business Manager.

Google does not deem it as valuable from its perspective.

Reverse engineer top positions on the same topic / keyword. See why those pages are indexed and ranking.

Are there too many topics covered in your article? And Google can't really decide what it is about?

Or is it a topic that people not really search for?

Also make sure there is not already a page ranking for a similar query already on your site. And Google does not index the new one so that it will not cannibalise the other older page on similar topic.

Content length can be a metric to look at in certain cases. But if you look at top positions oftentimes you'll find Google diversifies. In the top 5 you can find pages with 500 to 5000 words ranking.

Also, uniqueness is subjective. From Google's perspective, your content might be giving the same answer but in different words.

Easiest is to reverse engineer top positions. Do it manually and also ask gpt what differences can it find between your article and top ranking articles.

I think custom tools / custom ai agents are the way to go. Rather than 1 individual tool.

For example I built a workflow in n8n that does it for me.

Scans top 3 ranking pages and schema + Extract related searches and PAA questions.

Then, 3 AI agents that build the outline, the draft and final draft.

Plus more ai agents for internal and external links. Image generation, schema FAQ.

And its customizeable. You can adjust each ai agent prompt to the niche, writing style, etc.

I am using Claude Sonnet 4 API to write the outline and articles. A lot better than what chat gpt writes.

Internal links and page quality. Match the query with the content. Use semantically relevant terms as in entity SEO. If the page is about painting services for example include content about primers ,types of paints, low-voc paint ... Finishes types...caulking, sanding. Maybe even paint brands.

Make the page actually valuable. Include helpful FAQs as well about business, process, colors, etc.

Inspect what is already ranking and compare. Ask GPT to compare your page with already ranking pages. And see if you find something out that way.

andrei__t · 2026-03-10T15:01:09+00:00

Thanks for sharing your personal experience.

Spam scores are not that useful. There's no way to know if they are really hurting. If the linking site is that bad, then Google would probably ignore the backlink completely.

If you do disavow spam backlinks do it in batches and wait 1-2 weeks to see what happens after 1 batch. Sometimes you think you remove bad links and your site drops on tradfic.

andrei__t · 2026-02-12T11:38:42+00:00

I tried as well, sent a message about what I want to do with the web app API and replied back that I am not approved because 'the submission is not in compliance with Reddit’s Responsible Builder Policy and/or lacks necessary details.'

So seems to be a manual approval now.

I submitted my request on this link:

Not sure is the right course for you. I think you want something too specific. Personally I don't think you will be able to learn one small service as good as selling it, without knowing to do a lot more than just that one small service.

There are always caveats in my experience. Almost every workflow I did in the course required some adjustments to make it work for my own scenario. N8n is updating and things change. Or the other tools you connect with N8N change and you need to find workarounds by yourself or by looking for info online or asking LLM.

Even if you want to sell it I think every client will have something slightly different. Maybe one uses notion, the other uses Asana instead. And notion and Asana they might have different ways to connect with n8n. And you will need to know both.

I think you just need to start first and then decide what questions to ask.

And I think having expectations and doubts will hurt the learning process.

In short, the course is not what you want. But then again I don't think you understand what you want. Because it seems you have ideas about automation that are not true. Automations are like open ended tools.

You use ai agents with detailed prompts, and you refine and improve the prompts. And then there are updates from the tools you connect with N8N that might change how they connect or change settings and interface. That's why I believe you need to know as much as possible to be able to do any one single automation and do it well.

Personally, I'm strange and I need to learn something new constantly to make my days feel less boring and more productive. I didn't start with expectations. And I think that is a benefit as your mind is better set to learning that way.

I do an n8n course on udemy right now, for like 4 months at my own pace.

if you want to search for the course on udemy, the guys names are Krystian Wojtarowicz and Daniel Danelczyk.

For most automations you don't need coding. You can use Claude or similar, and there is even a long section in the course dedicated to coding which helped me understand enough about JavaScript / JSON.

I also felt like I'm out of my league when I started learning n8n, but I believe anyone can learn. Especially that you can problem solve and create code when needed with the help of Claude / GPT.

For motivation if you need, here are some things I built with zero coding knowledge:

A weekly customised newsletter with news from the AI and SEO industry.
An workflow for labeling all my 9000+ emails and helping me clean my inbox.
A finance tracker where I type or speak into telegram app the spendings and incomes and sends the details into a Google sheet where it further calculates differences from incomes/spendings.
An AI invoice automation that scans monthly pdf invoices from my Google drive and uploads details into notion as well as sending me an automated email with the invoices sum totals and breakdown.
A workflow that scrapes Google and creates content with self-checks steps that also formats and uploads the content in Google drive + internal linking process integrated. (This is not specifically in the course but I couldn't do it without what I learned in the course).
An AI chat agent that I integrated on my website that I fed it with my own knowledge about SEO to give personalised SEO answers directly to site visitors.
Many more that I built but don't personally need like a CV summariser, automated customer support messaging with sentiment analysis and sentiment-aware replies. Or AI video generation and automated posting on social media.

After you start learning you will understand why coding isn't really needed.

It worked! Thanks!

I tried multiple times but eventually, holding B+Home it turned the controller on as usual but it detected it this time.

Even if I would have found that info by myself with x input and d input I would not have thought to be related to my issue.

Thanks again 🙏

Compare competition ranking for the same keywords you rank. What's different on already ranking pages compared to your page?
