PROJECT OVERVIEW: Distributed Microsite SEO Ecosystem
I led the content strategy, copywriting, and SEO framework for a network of 7 interconnected microsites, each focused on a specific domain of expertise (construction, design, innovation, philanthropy, business philosophy, community legacy, and the founder’s personal brand).
This ecosystem was designed to:
- Increase topical authority across multiple verticals
- Improve SERP diversity to give users more accurate, contextual information
- Balance the founder’s digital presence by amplifying high-value content
- Decentralize brand narrative across multiple focused, trustworthy sources
- Strengthen cross-domain linking for elevated domain authority
- Create long-term organic growth through niche, intent-driven articles
Each site acted as a pillar domain with unique thematic authority, allowing the content network to rank for different clusters of high-intent keywords while feeding into an overarching SEO strategy.
Key Challenges
- Outdated or incomplete information dominating page one
- Lack of E-E-A-T signals and authoritative sources
- Multiple topics but no cohesive narrative
- No clear interlinked content ecosystem
- Difficulty controlling digital perception across industries
