SEO + SaaS = Trust the process?

[seomatic]

I'm far from the biggest fish here, but I am a (half) owner of a SaaS business which took 8 years to scale to $100k/month, but here I am. Let me share with you my growth graph and illustrate how SaaS truly is exponential, but with a long runway up front. (Note: the huge dip is COVID, which basically cost me a year to recover from, entrepreneurially speaking).

View attachment 43868

The point I just want to make sure is clear is: (1) every dip can be viewed as an indicator to exit -- do you have the faith to hold (and, if possible, correct) when you drop? and (2) do not zoom in too much on any given point or you might miss the larger picture; what follows is an illustration of this with AAPL stock (my first stock purchase).

Used your retention chart as inspiration to create a similar one for my content. I've seen that some pages get some impressions then suddenly die, while other pages just grow and grow. My idea is to improve pages that are not doing well, instead of just publishing new content. I will post updates here if it works or not.
