E878: I break down the 6 critical steps of SEO in the exact order you must follow to avoid wasting time and resources.

Most people get SEO backwards, which leads to frustration and stalled growth.

Follow this sequence to maximize effectiveness, improve rankings, and drive real results.

What you'll learn: - Why starting with "offensive SEO" (creating pages to rank) is often a huge mistake. - The critical role of "Defensive SEO" and how to set your technical foundation first. - How to properly clean up and structure your site to make it easy for crawlers to understand. - The strategic reason why offensive SEO and link building must be done in tandem, not separately. - When reputation management becomes a worthwhile investment for your brand. - Why holistic SEO (improving all your marketing channels) acts as a powerful final boost.

The 6-Step Prioritized SEO Framework: 1. Technical SEO: The fundamental "Defensive SEO" checks (speed, rendering, indexing). 2. Clean Site: Structuring your site for easy crawling (link depth, removing thin pages). 3. Offensive SEO: Creating pages to rank for non-branded, high-intent keywords. 4. Link Building: Consistently building backlinks to support new and existing pages. 5. Reputation Management: Building trust and credibility when customers are deciding on your brand. 6. Holistic SEO: Improving your entire marketing ecosystem (social, videos, ads) to boost all efforts.
