Jan takes us through his journey, from loving history as a kid to building a site that rivals big institutions. He’ll explain how being a game designer helped him see a gap in online history content, leading to a fully human-written platform trusted globally.
We’ll learn how Jan focused on technical SEO from day one and how their automated internal linking changed everything. He’ll also discuss the tough decision to rebrand their domain and theSEO hurdles they faced, including a year-long dip in traffic.
