SEO basics every new website needs on day one

Get the foundations right at launch and you will not have to fix them later.

Good SEO starts before launch. These basics are cheap to do at the start and expensive to retrofit.

Match pages to search intent

Give each important service its own page that answers what people actually search for. One vague page cannot rank for everything.
