PROJECT OVERVIEW

SEO should connect content, structure and user intent.

GrowthSmartly combines personal finance information with practical tools and calculators. That makes search intent especially important: users may be looking for an explanation, a calculation, a comparison or a specific financial answer.

The work focused on creating a more organised search strategy around these different needs instead of treating every page as an isolated piece of content.

WHAT I WORKED ON

Creating a search structure around how people actually look for information.

The work brought together multiple parts of SEO so the website could serve different types of finance-related search intent more clearly.

Search Intent

Structuring content around what users are actually trying to understand, compare, calculate or solve.

Content Strategy

Developing content directions that support useful financial information while matching relevant search opportunities.

Calculator SEO

Treating calculator pages as useful search assets rather than simply placing tools on the website.

On-Page SEO

Improving page-level structure, relevance and information hierarchy to make content easier to understand.

Internal Linking

Connecting relevant pages so users and search engines can move through related finance topics more naturally.

Organic Growth Structure

Bringing individual SEO activities into a broader framework focused on sustainable search visibility.

SEO STRATEGY

Turning individual SEO tasks into a connected system.

Instead of looking at content, calculators and on-page optimisation separately, the approach was to understand how these elements could support the overall search journey.

01

Understand the Search Landscape

Identify the types of finance questions and problems the website can meaningfully address.

02

Map Content to Intent

Separate informational, practical and tool-driven search needs into clearer content opportunities.

03

Build Useful Search Assets

Use calculators and focused content to create pages that serve specific user needs.

04

Strengthen the Website Structure

Connect related pages through clearer on-page structure and internal linking.

Search Intent Map SEO

SEARCH INTENT

The goal is not just more pages. It is more useful pages.

Finance searches can have very different intentions. Someone searching for an explanation needs a different experience from someone looking for a calculator or comparing financial options.

Content aligned with specific user questions
Practical tools connected with relevant searches
Clearer information hierarchy
Better connections between related topics
CALCULATOR SEO

Making calculators part of the search strategy.

Financial calculators can solve a very specific user problem. The SEO opportunity is not simply having a calculator — it is building the surrounding page so the tool, explanation and search intent work together.

WHAT THIS PROJECT TAUGHT

A few principles behind the work.

The most useful SEO work often comes from connecting strategy with the actual way people use a website.

01

Useful Content Comes First

Search visibility is more meaningful when the page genuinely helps the person who lands on it.

02

Tools Can Be Search Assets

A useful calculator can become part of a broader content and search strategy when supported by the right context.

03

Structure Creates Connections

Strong internal relationships between related topics help create a more coherent website experience.
