If you’re new to SEO, start right here. Master these and your traffic will grow.
Do Keyword Research Before You Write Anything
Use free tools like Google Keyword Planner or Ubersuggest to find what people actually search for.
Write a Title Tag That Makes People Click
Keep it under 60 characters, put your keyword near the start, and write something a real person would click.
Match Your Content to What the Searcher Actually Wants
Think about what someone really needs when they type your keyword — then cover it fully and honestly.
Make Sure Your Site Works Perfectly on Mobile
Google uses your mobile site to decide rankings. Use Google’s free Mobile-Friendly Test to check.
Speed Up Your Pages Without a Developer
Compress images using TinyPNG and run your site through Google PageSpeed Insights.
Set Up Google Search Console on Day One
This free tool shows which keywords bring people to your site and any technical issues Google has flagged.
Add Alt Text to Every Single Image
Google can’t see images — it reads your alt text instead. Write short, specific descriptions for each image.
Start Earning Backlinks the Right Way
Links from other websites are one of Google’s strongest ranking signals. Write content people want to share.
Structure Your Content With Proper Heading Tags
One H1 per page for your main topic. H2s for major sections. H3s for sub-points.
Write a Meta Description That Sells the Click
Keep it under 155 characters, include your keyword naturally, and write it like a mini-advertisement.
