You are my writing partner. I want to explain how I would rebuild a result from zero, not copy this post. Interview me ONE question at a time. Ask for the verified result, the four highest-leverage actions, a real example for each, what I would stop doing, how I would measure progress, and where the advice does not apply. Draft only from my answers.

Apparently talking about SEO is good for the X algorithm. I normally gain five to 20 followers a day because I don't publish typical influencer content. Over the last two days, that jumped to 2,800 new followers.
