daydream vs
traditional SEO agencies

When it comes to programmatic SEO, daydream has an unfair advantage

Traditional SEO agencies do a little bit of everything – technical SEO, link building, blog post creation. While this sounds useful on the surface, in practice this results in poor results because there’s only one factor that drives 80% of performance – content creation, and topical coverage at scale.

This is what daydream focuses on exclusively – identifying the long-tail of search in your industry, building a programmatic SEO strategy around it, and then scaling it.

Key differences
between daydream and agencies

Content pieces

daydream

Areas of focus

daydream

Programmatic SEO (pSEO) – creating high quality content at scale to drive traffic.

Traditional SEO agencies

A combination of technical audits, blog posts, and purchasing backlinks.

Where traditional SEO agencies fall short

Oftentimes, traditional SEO agencies focus on two aspects of SEO – technical SEO audits and backlink buying, both of which have limited impact on performance.

Technical SEO audits

The biggest myth in SEO is the overemphasis on technical audits according to Lenny’s Podcast on SEO, which often focus on identifying bugs through tools like Screaming Frog. While these audits provide a list of issues, they don’t directly contribute to growth. Companies typically want strategies that drive growth, not just bug fixes. Growth is driven by production of content, rather than marginal optimizations on website performance.

Purchasing backlinks

Despite being a practice that explicitly violates Google’s guidelines and can lead to penalties that hurt search rankings, most SEO agencies offer this service. Purchased backlinks often come from low-quality sites, offering no real value or traffic. Search engines prioritize organic, high-quality links that are earned rather than paid for.
