SEO starts with what’s on your website. In this post, I share a detailed checklist I use to optimize every WordPress site I build.

From optimizing titles and meta descriptions to image alt tags and internal linking, I break down each step for beginners and pros alike.

Checklist includes:

• Keyword placement in titles and headers
• Writing engaging meta descriptions
• Compressing images for speed
• Linking related content internally
• Using SEO plugins like Rank Math or Yoast

Applying these basics consistently can dramatically improve your Google rankings and drive organic traffic.
