SEO Sprint | Online Visibility and Growth [Fast Track 2025]
What is an SEO Sprint?
Every business owner wants to be more visible online, enjoy higher search engine rankings, and consistently connect with clients. Traditional SEO can take months—or longer—to deliver sustained results. The SEO Sprint is an intensive, focused service that is designed to deliver measurable SEO improvements in a short timeframe.
An SEO Sprint focuses on the most impactful changes we can make to your website. It quickly optimizes your site’s structure, content, and authority to improve search engine rankings. If you’re launching a new business or trying to improve the online visibility of your existing website, an SEO Sprint is the perfect shortcut to better search engine performance.
SEO Sprint Process
An SEO Sprint is a strategic process that delivers the maximum impact in minimal time. An SEO Sprint with Diane Green Design spans one week, and the improvements we make represent 80% of the website’s SEO growth. Here’s how the SEO Sprint Service works:
Phase 1: Comprehensive SEO Audit
First, let’s check the health of your website. Before we can improve your rankings, we need to understand how your site is built and functioning. The first step of an SEO Sprint is a deep-dive SEO audit. I’m a certified Squarespace SEO expert, and I use SEOSpace, Squarespace’s official third-party SEO plugin to run the site audit. This audit includes:
Technical SEO Review: Checking site speed, mobile-responsiveness, indexing, and security.
On-Page Analysis: Evaluating keyword usage, metadata, headers, and internal linking.
Content Audit and Content Gaps: Identifying weak or outdated content and determining content that should be added to improve your website’s SEO.
Competitors’ Analysis: Reviewing your competitors’ websites and identifying why they’re outranking you.
Phase 1 lays the groundwork for your SEO Sprint Service by revealing the most urgent and high-impact areas for improvement. Sometimes, I find that a sitemap has never been submitted to Google Search Console. Other times, meta titles and descriptions are missing. Too often, keyword research has never been completed so the website isn’t ranking for anything related to the actual business.
This SEO site audit demonstrates the breadth and depth of information that can be achieved by conducting a site audit. This audit was completed using SEOSpace, Squarespace’s official SEO plugin. SEOSpace is like Yoast for Squarespace. (Wordpress users know about Yoast.)
Phase 2: Strategy Development
Based on the audit findings, we develop a strategy that focuses on quick-win SEO tactics. Our strategy prioritizes:
Fixing technical issues that may be negatively impacting rankings.
Enhancing on-page SEO by optimizing title tags, headers, and keyword placement.
Content creation and updates to target search intent and drive organic traffic to your website. I provide blog post recommendations and on-page design and copy change suggestions.
Phase 3: Implementation & Optimization
Now, we take action to begin implementing the steps in the strategy:
Technical fixes: Speed improvements, mobile optimizations, and data implementation.
Content upgrades: Improving copy and identifying future blog posts based on keyword research and competitor analysis.
Keyword targeting: Finessing pages to match search intent and improve ranking.
Phase 4: Knowledge Transfer

Why an SEO Sprint is Perfect for Small Businesses
SEO Sprints are perfect for small businesses and entrepreneurs who want to improve their online visibility without committing to expensive long-term SEO retainers. Here’s why:
✔ Quick Results: An SEO Sprint focuses on high-impact actions that improve ranking fast.
✔ Budget-Friendly: A sprint gives you excellent value for the cost without requiring a long-term contract.
✔ Perfect for New Businesses: An SEO Sprint ensures your site is optimized at launch.
✔ Improves Local & Niche Visibility: Service-based businesses need online visibility to attract local clients. If you’re a fitness instructor, how will clients find your website to book classes if you haven’t refined your SEO so that your website ranks on search engines?
