Beginner-Friendly SEO Tips and Free Tools

[WebWhip]

Starting out with SEO can be a bit overwhelming, but fret not, I've got some beginner-friendly tips! First off, focus on creating quality, relevant content—think about what people would want to read. Next, sprinkle in those keywords naturally. Avoid the temptation to stuff them everywhere!

Also, pay attention to your website's loading speed. No one likes a slow-poke website, especially not Google! Lastly, build some good, legit backlinks from reputable sites.

Now, let's talk tools! As a beginner, you'll love these freebies: Google's Keyword Planner for keyword research, Google Analytics to track your site's performance, and Google Search Console to monitor your site's presence in search results. Also, check out Moz's Link Explorer to analyze your site's backlinks, and SEMrush's SEO Writing Assistant to optimize your content.

Here's a list of online business directories to help with your backlinking.

Hope this helps you get started on your SEO journey!

Happy optimizing!
