This SEO Strategy Took a Site to 1M Monthly Visitors

In Conversation with Nick Rubright

In this episode of E-Coffee with Experts, we chat with Nick Rubright, Founder & CEO of Ranko Media, the SEO and digital PR agency behind brands like WebEx, Binance and Spotify’s Soundtrack.

Nick shares how he went from promoting his own music site with SEO to building an agency that helps enterprise clients grow through link building, technical SEO, and digital PR.

We dig into what it’s really like working with large companies vs. small businesses, how AI is reshaping search and outreach, and why subject matter expertise still beats generic content. Nick breaks down the tools his team uses (like ChatGPT and Perplexity), how they pitch smarter, and what makes link-building campaigns actually work in today’s crowded landscape.

Whether you’re a founder, marketer, or SEO strategist, this episode is packed with insights on scaling your agency, keeping clients longer, and using AI without losing your edge. If you care about growth, rankings, or building trust with clients, don’t miss this one.
