Common Mistakes to Avoid
Ehsan's Growth Commentary
In my experience advising E-commerce companies, SEO & Organic Search at Series A is a critical growth lever that deserves dedicated resources. The mistake is treating it as a project rather than a process. Run one experiment per week, measure ruthlessly.
For 10-30 people teams: assign one person to own SEO & Organic Search end-to-end. Shared ownership means zero accountability. The founder should be the owner until Series B.
