Yes, I Also Stuck At SEO, and it Happens With Everyone.
I’d stuff keywords, obsess over meta descriptions, and write clunky paragraphs just to please Google. My traffic? Embarrassing.
Then I cracked the code.
Now, my posts at Trexera rank on page one without sounding like an AI-generated textbook. Here’s how I do it in 2025:
1. Stop Writing for Bots (Start Writing for Humans Who Use Bots)
Google’s 2024 Helpful Content Update punishes “SEO-optimized” garbage. The new rule?
What works now:
Hook readers in the first 3 seconds with blunt, personal openers (like I did above).
Use contractions (“you’re” not “you are”) – it signals natural language.
Break grammar rules for rhythm. Fragments. Like this.
2. The 2025 Keyword Strategy: “Question Hunting”
Forget generic keywords like “best running shoes”.
Instead, target:
”How to fix squeaky soles of Hoka” (real query I ranked for).
Tools I use:
Answer The Public Not Yourself (for question-style keywords)
Google’s “People Also Ask” (steal these verbatim)
Pro Tip: Bury your keyword once in the first 100 words, then never force it again.
3. Structure Like a Netflix Documentary
Google rewards “scroll depth” (how far readers go). My formula:
Open with a villain (problem): “Most SEO advice is outdated. Here’s what’s working NOW.”
Tease the solution (but don’t give it yet).
Use subheadings every 2-3 paragraphs (like this post).
End with a cliffhanger: “Want my 2025 SEO checklist? I’ll email it to you.”
4. The Laziest Method to Create Backlink for Your Blog (Works in 2025)
Backlinks still matter, but guest posts and HARO are dead.
What I do instead:
Turn stats into tweetable infographics (Canva templates take 5 mins).
Mention experts – they’ll often share your post.Real Example: My post “Why 89% of AI Content Fails” got 20+ backlinks because I included a controversial data point.
5. AI is Your Editor, Not Your Writer
I use AI to:
Check readability (Grammarly’s “engagement” score)
Suggest subheadings (but I rewrite them in my voice)
Trim fluff (Original: “It is very important to note that…” → Edited: “Note:”)
Never: Publish AI content verbatim. Google detects generic phrasing.
Your 2025 SEO Checklist
Pick one question from “People Also Ask” as your topic.
Write the first draft like an email to a friend.
Add 1-2 personal stories (even small ones build trust).
Optimize last (URL, meta title, alt text – 5 mins total).

I share my exact templates, keyword tools, and headline formulas on Trexera.
Final Truth: SEO in 2025 isn’t about tricks. It’s all about writing the actual content that people wanted to read.
The best part? When you focus on helping instead of ranking, Google rewards you anyway.
Now go write something you’d actually enjoy reading.
Question for you: What’s one SEO “rule” you’ve broken that still worked?** (Reply below – I read every comment.)
