Reading This Projection

Traffic quality matters more than raw traffic

This model assumes the incremental organic traffic is relevant and qualified. Higher-intent visits usually outperform broad traffic gains.

Conversion rate changes move ROI quickly

Small lifts in conversion rate can have a larger impact than traffic growth, especially when SEO spend is already fixed.

SEO return is rarely immediate in reality

Use this as a directional planning model. Real campaigns often take time before rankings, pipeline, and revenue catch up.
