3 months ago i was writing blog posts that never ranked.
the problem wasn't the content. it was the keywords. i was targeting terms that sites with DR 50+ were dominating. my site had a domain rating of 11. i had zero chance.
once i started matching keywords to my actual domain rating, everything changed.
one article hit #1 on google in 3 weeks. chatgpt started citing it too.
here's what i learned:
→ most founders target keywords they'll never rank for
→ a DR 11 site can't compete with a DR 60 site for the same keyword
→ but there are hundreds of keywords the big sites aren't targeting
→ those are the ones you win
i built seo ladders (seoladders.com) to automate this. it finds keywords matched to your DR, writes full articles with images, citations, and internal links, and auto-publishes to your site.
but before anything, i want to test something.
drop your website in the comments and i'll tell you:
no catch. i'll reply to every single one.
i genuinely want to see if the keyword matching approach works across different niches. your feedback helps me improve the tool.
who's in?
The DR matching angle is underrated. Most founders pick keywords based on search volume and ignore competition entirely, then wonder why nothing ever ranks. Starting with what you can actually win given your current authority is a smarter way in. The ChatGPT citation alongside the #1 ranking is a nice bonus too — more sites are finding that LLM visibility and search ranking often move together now.
