How Hard is it to Get Traffic Through SEO?

Hi everyone, I’m an entrepreneur by nature, and I have a very good in-depth knowledge of marketing. I’ve acquired this knowledge through books like Positioning, The 22 Immutable Laws of Marketing, The Secrets Series, etc, and, of course, by applying what I’ve learned. Currently, I’m in a financial situation where I can’t afford to pay for ads. As a result, I’m planning to drive traffic to my new business through content on LinkedIn and Instagram, as well as using SEO and GEO. Here are the specifics of my situation: • There are approximately 800 direct searches per month for the product I plan to sell. By “direct searches,” I mean exact matches, example: “freelancer SEO.” • The only competition I have for direct searches comes from a few blogs on the topic. • This is a local project, targeting only Portugal. • In Portugal, most people are still doing SEO the traditional way, without considering AI or GEO strategies. • As far as I know, no one is using this specific direct search term in a sales funnel. So, for those of you who specialize in SEO, how hard would it be to get traffic to my website using SEO and GEO?
