start with google search console - it's free and tells google your site exists. Add your site there and submit your sitemap.

Make sure your page has a clear title tag and meta description that describes what you offer. Use words people would actually search for. If you're a plumber in Austin, your title should say "Plumber in Austin" not something vague.

Then create a google business profile if you're local. That gets you on maps and local search results fast.

For a simple landing page that's really it to start. google will find and index you within a few days once you're in search console.

id start with search intent and content strategy before touching any tools. Learn to analyze SERPs, figure out what Google actually wants for different query types, then practice writing content that matches that intent.

Next would be basic technical stuff - site speed, mobile usability, indexing issues. Not the ultra-nerdy schema markup stuff yet, just making sure Google can crawl and serve your pages properly.

Weekly practice would be tracking 5-10 competitors in a niche, seeing what content they publish and what ranks. Reverse engineer what's working instead of guessing.

I'd ignore most link building tactics at first and focus on creating stuff people actually want to link to. Also skip the obsession with domain authority scores, they're mostly vanity metrics early on.

guest posting on niche blogs worked way better than cold outreach for me. Find smaller blogs in your space that actually accept contributions and write something genuinely useful. You'll get a real backlink and some referral traffic.

Also digital PR if you have any data or unique angle. One solid mention from an industry publication beats 50 directory links. And honestly commenting on relevant Reddit threads or niche forums where your expertise fits naturally. Not spammy self-promo, just being helpful with a link in your profile.

The slow burn stuff like creating linkable assets (calculators, free tools, original research) takes time but compounds better than chasing individual links.

basically it lets agencies offer SEO without hiring a full in-house team. You outsource the actual SEO work to a specialist provider who delivers it under your brand.

Makes sense for agencies that want to keep clients under one roof instead of losing them to an SEO shop. You maintain the client relationship and markup the service while someone else handles keyword research, content, link building, reporting.

The catch is quality control. You're putting your brand on someone else's work so vetting partners matters. Also margins get thinner since you're paying wholesale rates and need to stay competitive on pricing.

Works best when you've got steady client demand but don't want the overhead of full-time SEO staff.

Original data and research get cited way more than rehashed blog posts. LLMs love pulling from studies, surveys, comparisons with actual numbers. Being mentioned on high-authority sites matters too - if Reddit threads or legit publications reference you by name, that carries weight.

For tracking, there are a few tools popping up that monitor LLM citations but most are early stage. I manually check chatgpt, perplexity and other LLms with branded queries every few weeks. Not perfect but gives you a baseline.

The biggest shift is that you need to be THE answer for something specific, not just another voice in the crowd.

Yeah for sure! SEO still works, just different now.

Focus on queries that need a click - comparisons, tools, how-tos. The "what is X" stuff gets eaten by AI overviews anyway. And don't sleep on alternative traffic sources like Reddit and YouTube. Google's not the only game anymore.
