Simple SEO for a new site

Cover the technical and editorial basics without turning launch week into an SEO engineering project.

SEO begins with a crawlable, understandable site and pages that answer real questions. Advanced tactics cannot rescue thin content, confusing navigation or a site that search engines cannot access.

Put this into practice

  1. Give every page a unique title and accurate description.
  2. Use one clear heading hierarchy and descriptive internal links.
  3. Create a sitemap and connect Search Console.
  4. Compress images and keep mobile layouts readable.
  5. Write for a specific search need rather than repeating keywords.
YOUR NEXT ACTION

Audit the title, heading, description and internal links on your five most important pages.

Start with a useful first version. Check what works, update what does not, and keep the experience clear for the person visiting your site.
