Okay… but do you have the basics right?
Before chasing backlinks or AI-generated content,
Start where SEO really begins:
📍 The foundation.
Here are 4 basics every website must have (but most skip):
🔍 1. Keyword Research , With Real User Intent
Don’t just rank. Solve problems.
Use keywords your audience is actually searching, not what you think they type.
🧱 2. Title Tags & Meta Descriptions
Still underrated. Still critical.
These are your first impressions on Google. Make them click-worthy and clear.
🧭 3. Clean Site Structure + Logical URLs
If your pages confuse Google… they won’t rank.
Simple, readable URLs. Easy-to-follow hierarchy. No orphan pages.
📱 4. Mobile-Friendly & Fast Loading
Half your traffic is mobile.
If your site takes forever to load, they’ll bounce before they read.
SEO isn’t a hack. It’s a habit.
And it starts with a strong technical foundation.
Don’t build skyscrapers on a cracked base.
Fix the fundamentals first , then grow with confidence.
