Building a scalable SEO program in a large, fast-moving organization is no small feat — especially when that program has never existed before. Without internal precedent, clear workflows, or SEO-specific resources, where do you even begin? And once you’ve got something working, how do you make sure it sticks?

According to Amir Alsayegh, a seasoned SEO and growth strategist, the key is to start small, prove value fast, and build momentum from strategic wins. He highlights how focusing on one product category allowed him to test and refine a full-funnel SEO approach before replicating it across other silos. This focused execution created measurable growth while minimizing disruption to other teams. Amir also redefined “best practices” through a “good, better, best” model that helped set realistic standards and drive team-wide buy-in. Education, performance visibility, and internal alignment became just as important as keyword data.
