The right SEO strategy.

Hello indiehackers,

I am Faruk, the founder of MonitUp. MonitUp monitors your daily computer activities, measures your productivity and gives you suggestions to work more efficiently.

Until November 2022, I was only getting a few clicks per day. Then I learned that I need to write a blog and in November 2022 we started to develop and write our blog pages.

Although our visibility has increased a lot in a few months, click-through rates have not increased that much. While investigating why, we noticed that we use the same title and description on every page. On all pages, my keyword was "Employee monitoring software", we were up to page 4 on Google, so even though we got impressions, we couldn't get clicks.

On top of that, in March 2023, we decided to add a unique SEO-compatible title and description for all pages. As you can see in the graph, the visibility suddenly went into free fall.

We continue to work in this way, we continue to write articles. We had a total of 61 articles. From what I've seen with other founders, some of them can reach 15 clicks per day in a few months. Is it normal for us to come to this level after so much effort and so long?

We developed our website ourselves, could it be a technical issue with SEO compatibility? Or should our keyword "Employee monitoring software" remain instead of the title and description for all pages?

What can we do better? What do you recommend? SEO should work now :)
