How we work

From understanding the business to measuring what is actually working.

We do not start with a predefined task list. We first understand the business, identify what is limiting growth, and build a plan that can be implemented, measured, and improved over time.

Before doing more, understand better

We do not treat SEO as separate from the business.

A growth problem is not always where it appears to be.

Apparent cause

“We need more traffic.”

The first explanation is usually the most visible one. It is not always what is actually limiting growth.

Analysis → real problem
01 · ARCHITECTURE

Demand exists, but it does not find a clear page.

More traffic does not fix an architecture that fails to separate services, markets, or search intents.

02 · UX / CONVERSION

Traffic arrives, but the offer is not clear.

The website may need clearer messaging, a better journey, and stronger calls to action before it needs more sessions.

03 · CONTENT

A lot gets published, but too far from a commercial decision.

Content volume does not replace a strategy built around intent and priorities.

04 · TRACKING / FOLLOW-UP

Leads exist, but they get lost afterward.

Measuring and following what happens after the click is also part of the system.

That is why, before deciding what to execute, we analyze how demand, the website, content, experience, conversion, and data connect.
The process

Five stages to turn information into decisions and decisions into execution.

The scope changes from one company to another, but the logic remains the same: understand, diagnose, prioritize, implement, and use evidence to decide what to do next.

01

Understand the business

Before analyzing rankings, we need to understand what is actually worth ranking.

We review
What the company sells
Who it sells to
How it generates revenue
Priority services or products
Markets it wants to develop
How customers currently arrive
Capacity to handle new demand
Teams and providers involved
Existing constraints
The business defines the priority. Tools help us investigate it.
02

Diagnose the situation

We analyze the different parts of the system to separate symptoms, causes, and opportunities.

Depending on the project, we review
Technical SEO
Architecture
Search intent
Competition
Content
Internal linking
UX and customer journey
CRO and forms
Contact points
Mobile experience
Analytics and tracking
Existing processes
Not every audit ends with the same recommendations because not every company has the same problem.
03

Prioritize opportunities

An audit can uncover dozens or hundreds of possible actions. Our job is not to make all of them urgent.

Criteria
Commercial impact
Urgency
Dependencies
Effort
Implementation capacity
An imperfect title on a page with no demand may matter less than a missing commercial landing page, cannibalization between important services, a broken form, or a page with traffic that leads to no action.
04

Turn strategy into real changes

A recommendation is not the end. Depending on the scope, Cubo SEO can execute directly, coordinate specialists, or work with the client’s team.

The work may include
Architectures
Landing pages
Page optimization
Content
On-page SEO
WordPress and Elementor
Navigation
Customer journeys
Forms and CTAs
Tracking
Dashboards
Developer requirements
The goal is to turn priorities into something that can actually be implemented.
05

Measure, learn, and reprioritize

After implementation, we review what happened and what it means for the next cycle.

We analyze
What gained visibility
What lost visibility
Which pages attract demand
Which queries are appearing
What generates actions
What does not convert
Which changes had an impact
Which hypotheses did not work
Which new opportunities appeared
Data becomes priorities again.
The first steps

What happens after saying “let’s go.”

The beginning should reduce uncertainty, establish responsibilities, and create a baseline for comparing what happens next.

1

Context and objectives

We gather the essential information about the company, its offer, the market, objectives, and the people involved.

2

Access and assets

We identify which information, platforms, pages, data, or tools we need to review based on the agreed scope.

3

Diagnosis and baseline

We document the starting point and identify constraints or opportunities that may shape the project.

4

Roadmap and owners

We define priorities, dependencies, owners, and the logical order of implementation.

5

Execution and follow-up

The cycle of implementation, measurement, review, and new priorities begins.

We do not use a rigid Day 1 / Day 7 / Day 30 schedule because the scope varies by project.
Prioritization is part of the work

Not everything that is wrong deserves to be fixed first.

The value of an audit is not in the number of errors it finds. It is in knowing which ones actually change the outcome and in what order they should be resolved.

Higher relative priority Lower relative priority Lower effect Higher effect
Missing commercial page
Critical technical error
Content without clear intent
Broken form
Secondary meta title
New automation
Final priority combines impact, urgency, dependencies, effort, and the business’s actual ability to execute.
We work within your structure

We can complement a team, coordinate specialists, or take on more execution.

The model changes depending on the resources already available within the company.

Company without a specialized team

Cubo SEO can take on a larger share of the project’s direction, implementation, and coordination.

Emmanuel Barrios

Founder and Strategy Director at Cubo SEO

Emmanuel is directly involved in project evaluation, prioritization, progress reviews, and strategic decisions.

He leads client relationships, reviews results, coordinates the necessary areas, and participates in critical tasks when the scope requires it.

Cubo SEO can work with specialists, developers, and internal teams, while strategic direction and control of priorities remain clear.

From analysis to execution

Every deliverable should help make or execute a decision.

The scope defines the deliverables. Not every project needs every element.

Understand

Deliverables that can help establish context and a shared basis for decisions.

Strategic diagnosis Keyword research Architecture map Objectives register
Possible examples. The selection depends on the scope and does not mean every item is part of every project.
We do not deliver documents for their own sake. Every piece should answer a question, resolve a dependency, or make implementation easier.
Reporting is not the end

A good report should make clear what happened and what we do next.

We are not trying to fill pages with metrics. We want to turn data into context, decisions, and new priorities.

01

What changed

Actions completed, pages modified, content published, issues resolved, and decisions executed.

02

What happened

Observed changes in visibility, behavior, actions, conversions, or other agreed metrics.

03

What we learned

Interpretation of results, limitations, hypotheses, and factors that may explain what happened.

04

What comes next

Priorities for the next cycle based on evidence, impact, and implementation capacity.

A dashboard should not replace judgment. It should support it.
Technology within the method

We automate tasks. We do not delegate judgment.

Technology makes it possible to process more information, reduce repetitive work, and accelerate parts of execution. Interpretation and decisions still require context.

01

Data

Research, audits, site information, and available signals.

02

Processing

Organization, comparison, documentation, and pattern detection.

03

Review

Validation of context, constraints, evidence, and possible errors.

04

Human decision

Priority, interpretation, and strategic decision-making with clear accountability.

05

Implementation

Concrete changes, follow-up, and new evidence for the next cycle.

Working together

To move quickly, we need context, access, and decision-making capacity.

The best results come when strategy, implementation, and internal knowledge work together.

Real business context
Objectives
Priority products or services
Required access
Available data
One responsible person
Ability to approve
Feedback
Internal implementation or authorization to implement
The clearer the context and each person’s responsibility, the less time is lost between diagnosis and action.
Before we start

The methodology works best when there is a real foundation to work from.

There is a good fit when…

Validated offer
Defined commercial objectives
Capacity to implement
Budget
One responsible person
Willingness to share data
Willingness to measure
Medium- and long-term perspective

It is not a good fit when…

Ranking guarantees are expected
Instant results are required
There is no capacity to implement
Only isolated tasks at the lowest price are wanted
There is no project owner
There is no capacity to handle new demand
The initial assessment also helps determine whether Cubo SEO is the right fit.
Questions about the process

Before we start, these are some of the questions we hear most often.

It depends on the scope, site size, data availability, and the people involved. Before starting, we define what needs to be analyzed and what outcome the first phase should produce.

It depends on the work. An initial assessment can be carried out partly with public information, but a deep audit, implementation, or measurement usually requires access to the relevant platforms.

Both models are possible. Cubo SEO can implement certain areas directly, coordinate specialists, or work with the client’s technical team. Responsibilities are agreed based on the scope.

Yes. We can define SEO, architecture, content, UX, or conversion priorities and requirements, and coordinate with other providers so implementation stays aligned with the agreed objectives.

Not necessarily. Sometimes the problem can be solved by optimizing the existing architecture, pages, content, or conversion points. A full redesign only makes sense when the diagnosis justifies it.

We prioritize based on impact, urgency, dependencies, effort, and actual implementation capacity. The number of issues found does not automatically determine the order of work.

The follow-up format is defined according to the project. It may include meetings, dashboards, executive reports, action logs, and a priority backlog. The goal is to make clear what was done, what happened, and what comes next.

We review the data, implementation, hypotheses, and external factors before deciding the next step. Measurement also helps reveal what should be corrected or stopped.

Yes. Depending on the problem, the first phase can be limited to diagnosis, audit, or roadmap before deciding whether Cubo SEO should also participate in implementation.

Yes. Cubo SEO works in Spanish and English and has experience with projects in Mexico and other international markets.
