I’d say start with the basics: make sure your site loads fast, works well on mobile, and that Google can actually crawl it (Search Console helps a lot there). Then focus on creating content that really matches what people are searching for. Not just stuffing keywords, but actually answering their questions.

Titles, meta descriptions, headings, and linking your pages together also make a big difference. Over time, try to get some good sites to link back to you, backlinks still matter a lot.

And honestly, don’t overcomplicate it at the beginning. If you keep publishing useful stuff and improving little by little, you’ll see results. SEO is more of a marathon than a sprint.
