Most early teams buy channels the way they buy tools: separately, urgently, and without a shared scoreboard. That is how you end up with SEO content that ads cannot use, and landing pages that neither channel trusts.

Start with the conversion surface

Before you scale spend, fix the pages that receive traffic. Speed, clarity, and proof beat another campaign launch. If CAC is high, the site is usually part of the story.

“Share the keyword map. Share the landing patterns. Report to pipeline, not impressions.”

Map search and paid to the same keywords

Organic and paid should protect the same money phrases. Share the keyword map. Share the landing patterns. Report to pipeline, not impressions — so budget finally follows what converts.

  • One keyword map owned by SEO and ads
  • Landing templates reused across channels
  • Weekly creative and content in the same standup

Add reputation before the spike

When launches hit, the SERP gets noisy. ORM and press should be in the plan before the spike — not after the first bad headline. Treat reputation as a channel with owners and KPIs.
