Bottom Line

Nine clients. Eight verticals. 38 keywords. Every test moved the needle. The SEO NEO methodology proves out across Campaign Stacks, Cloud Posts, Sequence Campaigns with 100 Content, and pure Sequence-only deployments. Heavier stacks cracked map pack. Lighter stacks lifted visibility. Both worked.
