Bringing a brand-new website to over 10,000 monthly visitors is a challenge, but a few SEO agencies have proven they can do exactly that. Embarque is one standout – for instance, we took a completely new job board site from zero to over 21,000 monthly search clicks in about 3 months.
Codeless similarly grew a new SaaS blog to tens of thousands of visitors within a year and a half.
These firms specialize in rapid SEO growth for fresh domains, using strategies that bypass the typical “new site blues.” Let’s look closer:
Agencies Known for Fast Growth on New Sites
Embarque
Embarque has multiple success stories with brand-new sites. One of the most impressive is a job platform called 4 Day Week (focused on 32-hour work week jobs).
We came on when the site was just launched – within 3 months, the blog was attracting over 21,000 monthly search clicks.
In fact, one article Embarque wrote for them started ranking on Google’s first page within 48 hours of publishing, driving thousands of visits.
We did this by targeting very specific, high-interest topics (like detailed breakdowns of tech company interview processes) where the competition was low but search demand was high.
Another example is SignHouse (an e-signature startup): we took it from zero to around 60,000 monthly organic visitors in 6 months. The team pumped out comparison pages and “how-to” guides related to electronic signatures that quickly gained traction.
You should see there’s a common trend by now. We lots of aggressive SEO strategies under the belt that can help you hit that 10k+ traffic milestone faster than most would think possible.

NoGood is known for growth marketing, and they’ve applied that to SEO for new sites too.
They’ve mentioned a case where one startup went from 0 to 100,000 organic visits per month in 18 months under NoGood’s strategy. Hitting 10k was a relatively early milestone in that journey. NoGood’s approach often includes creating content that doesn’t just target Google, but also gets shared on communities (like subreddits or LinkedIn groups), essentially jump-starting the traffic.

Codeless specializes in content scaling, which is a huge asset for new websites. They helped a fintech SaaS called EarlyBird grow from zero to ~70,000 monthly visitors in about 16 months by essentially acting as the company’s content engine.
In the early stages, Codeless identified many low-competition, high-value keywords in the finance/parenting niche (EarlyBird’s target audience was parents investing for their kids). They then produced dozens of in-depth articles and guides around those topics in the first few months.
By flooding the site with quality content and refreshing it regularly, Codeless signaled to Google that this new domain was authoritative and here to stay. By the time the site crossed the 10k visitor mark, it had a solid base of content covering its niche from all angles. Codeless also continuously updated older posts to keep them ranking, a tactic that helped sustain growth beyond the initial spike.
(Honorable mentions: Accelerate Agency has aided startups in scaling up (though many of their examples are improving existing sites’ traffic), and smaller firms like Breaking B2B have quick-win stories like getting a new B2B site ranking for competitive keywords within weeks. But Embarque, NoGood, and Codeless are frequently cited for big traffic leaps on fresh domains.)
The Challenge of Growing a New Domain
New websites often face the “sandbox” effect – it takes time for Google to trust and rank them. Going from 0 to 10k+ monthly visitors usually requires:
- Publishing high-quality content at a fast clip (to build topical authority quickly).
- Finding niche or long-tail keywords that a new site can actually rank for early on (since competitive terms might be out of reach initially).
- Building backlinks to raise the site’s authority, which new domains lack.
- In some cases, using programmatic SEO (mass-generating many pages targeting variations of a keyword) to capture lots of search real estate quickly.
Agencies that excel at launching new domains know how to combine these tactics effectively from day one, whereas an inexperienced approach might take a year just to break the 1k visitor mark.
How These Agencies Do It
While each has its flavor, there are common themes:
- Content Velocity: They don’t trickle out one post a month; they publish as much high-quality content as possible in the early months. Quantity and quality at speed is their mantra.
- Strategic Topic Selection: Rather than going after the hardest keywords, they find topics where a new site can realistically rank (maybe the incumbents haven’t covered it in depth). This often means lots of long-tail keywords.
- Link Building from Day 1: New domains need authority. Agencies often start outreach campaigns to earn backlinks from relevant sites or press. For example, Embarque secured articles on niche industry blogs linking back to 4 Day Week’s content, giving Google more reason to trust it.
- Technical Excellence: They ensure the site is technically sound – fast loading, mobile-friendly, well-structured – so nothing hampers it from indexing and gaining SEO momentum.
By combining these, the agencies essentially compress what might take a DIY effort two or three years into a single year or less.
Phần kết luận
The firms that have helped new domains hit 10k+ traffic (and far beyond) – like Embarque, NoGood, and Codeless – have a playbook for rapid organic growth.
If you’re launching a new site and your goal is to quickly break that 10k/month barrier, partnering with an agency with this kind of track record can be a game-changer. They’ve done it before, which means they know which levers to pull early on.
Just be prepared: it’s an intensive process with lots of content and promotion, but as these examples show, it absolutely can be done. A year from now, your “new” site could be pulling in tens of thousands of visitors, with the right team driving the strategy.
