SEO Basics for Early-Stage Startups
In this article

Search engine optimisation is slow to start but keeps paying off. These basics cover most of what an early-stage startup needs.

Six steps

  1. Know your keywords. List the questions customers type before they buy.
  2. One page per intent. Give each service, city or use case its own page.
  3. Write for people first. Clear answers, examples and pricing beat keyword stuffing.
  4. Fix the technical basics. Fast pages, mobile-friendly design, a sitemap and clean URLs.
  5. Earn mentions. Directory listings, partner pages and press coverage build authority.
  6. Measure monthly. Track impressions and clicks in Search Console and improve what is close to page one.

A complete business profile on this platform is a quick, credible backlink for your website.
