Strategy & Growth
A clear-eyed read on the Vapehub programme: why the rankings have been hard-won, what’s really been holding them back, and a sharper, faster route to the growth you’re paying us for.
You’re happy with the work, but frustrated that keyword rankings haven’t moved as fast as any of us want. We feel it too — and we owe you a clear answer on why, because the reason matters for what we do next.
Vapehub relaunched on a migration that carried heavy technical debt from day one — pages dropping out of Google’s index, canonical conflicts, rendering problems. Faults like these cap everything above them: no amount of content or strategy outruns them until they’re fixed. That has been the single biggest brake on the flagship terms.
We went well beyond pure SEO — getting under the bonnet to stabilise the platform, coordinate fixes and stop a shaky situation sliding further. That work rarely shows up in a rankings chart, but you’d have felt its absence.
Performance is moving the right way. But winning the top spots for the biggest hitters on a technically compromised site is a genuine uphill battle — slower and harder than it should ever have to be.
None of that changes our commitment to Vapehub. The heavy repair is largely behind us now, and we keep catching and fixing new issues as they surface — but clearing inherited debt fully is slow, unglamorous work. That’s exactly why we don’t want your growth held hostage to it: far better to open a fast, clean route to results while Vapehub’s foundations keep firming up underneath.
You already own it — and Hayati is one of the biggest names in UK vaping right now. Two of its products alone pull more than 60,000 UK searches a month (“hayati pro max” ~34,000, “hayati pro ultra” ~27,000), and the top results for them aren’t defended by heavy backlink profiles — Ahrefs scores them KD 0–2. On a clean, relevant site those rankings are genuinely winnable: not instant, but a realistic climb rather than years of catching up. That demand is already out there, looking for somewhere to land — point a site straight at it and you’re playing a completely different game.
On a site we help shape from the ground up, the work isn’t fighting the platform — strategy, content and a sound technical base all pull the same way. That’s when organic growth compounds fastest, and it’s the quickest route to turning Hayati’s demand into revenue for you.
We’re committed to making Vapehub work — and just as keen to help you finally put hayativape to work while we do. It’s a second revenue front on demand you already own, built on foundations that let it move fast.

Illustrative — the shape of each route, not a forecast
Everything stays on Vapehub. We keep executing the pipeline — technical fixes with the dev team, strategy, UX and content — to push performance, rankings and revenue.
A team that knows your brand inside out, strong processes already in place, real momentum, and a technical foundation we’ve worked hard to steady.
You want to keep all resource on the core site and are comfortable with a longer road to the biggest rankings while the foundations are repaired.
The inherited technical debt still caps the flagship terms, so they stay a slow climb. And while we stay all-in on Vapehub, some 60,000 monthly searches already out there for Hayati (34k + 27k, Ahrefs) keep landing with someone else — and they won’t stay this winnable once the category crowds. Steady, but the biggest winnable demand in your world stays on the table.
Vapehub gets sharper, not smaller — we aim its effort squarely at your best-earning products, where focus pays back fastest — while opening a dedicated push on hayativape, a site whose technical foundations are ours to shape from the start (we’ll audit it up front to be sure).
Two revenue fronts instead of one, and fast, visible progress on a site working in your favour, not against it — the kind of momentum you can actually point to.
You want visible wins sooner, you’re ready to get hayativape earning, and you see a second revenue front as worth the investment.
A step up in investment to fund a genuine second revenue front — and Vapehub’s effort concentrates on its biggest earners instead of spreading thin across the whole catalogue, which is how it should be working anyway. In return: real momentum on hayativape, and growth you can actually measure.
Option 02 reshapes the retainer to fund both sites — you choose the level, we agree the split together. Built to fit what’s realistic, not to stretch you. Choose a level to see how the focus divides.
Everything on Vapehub. Full effort on the core site — the situation as it stands today, shown here for comparison.
The retainer reshapes to fund both sites, split roughly evenly. Here’s the honest part: the heavy technical-rescue work that has absorbed much of your retainer is largely behind us — so this isn’t Vapehub losing firepower, it’s capacity that was firefighting now aimed at your top products, with a second front opening alongside. Vapehub keeps its technical, UX/CRO and content work, concentrated where it earns; hayativape gets a dedicated growth push on solid foundations.
Everything in Tier 1, plus a dedicated link-building layer across both sites. Link building is a discipline we run as its own workstream — it has never sat inside the core retainer — so Tier 2 folds it into the programme. It builds the off-page authority that competitive terms need to climb and hold. We won’t promise positions; no honest agency can. But it’s the biggest off-page lever we have.
Figures and the split shown are a proposed starting point to frame the conversation, not a fixed quote — the exact balance and priorities we’d agree together. As results land, we’d revisit scope: more time on both sites, or a new build from one of the domains you own.
No trust required — we prove it as we go. Here’s what we’ll measure, roughly when, and our commitment if it doesn’t land.
On both sites: terms climbing into the top 10, organic traffic, and organic revenue — reported against milestones we agree at kickoff.
Early wins on the lower-competition Hayati terms within the first few months; the big flagship terms building over two to three quarters — a realistic climb, not an overnight one.
We review at 90 days against those milestones. If it’s not landing, we rebalance — no lock-in. You scale what’s working, and nothing you don’t.
Option 02 isn’t just a second site — it’s a template. Once hayativape proves the model, the same playbook extends across the assets you already hold, one confident step at a time.
Land clear, visible results on a site built right — the reference point for everything that follows.
Your bank of precise, product-led domains comes online one at a time, each targeting demand it’s perfectly named for.
Where a domain deserves its own site, we can design and build it — ours to get right from day one.
Several sites working together, cross-supporting, growing into a portfolio far bigger than any single store on its own.
Each stage is opt-in and earns the next. The retainer grows with results, not ahead of them — you only scale what’s already working.
Answer these and we go from conversation to plan.
Continue as we are, or open the second front with hayativape. Our honest call is Option 02 — the faster route to results you can see. Choose Option 01 and we’ll still give it everything.
If Option 02, pick the tier: £4k for both sites, or £5k to fold in a dedicated link-building layer across both.
Give us access to hayativape.co.uk so we can audit it and map the fastest route to results.
Tell us the Vapehub products that matter most, so the focused effort lands exactly where the revenue is.
Vapehub gets sharper, hayativape gets its shot, and you get results you can watch land — on a site built to win from day one. The easy first move: send us access to hayativape.co.uk and your top-five Vapehub products, and let’s book 20 minutes to lock the tier and the split. We’ll come straight back with a full hayativape audit and the first plan.
