• Think about your ideal client, what they want, and what they would be looking for.
• Check out your competitors’ websites.
• Work out what sets you apart, what you do differently and what makes you better than them.
• Hire a professional.

First, I tell all my clients to build an easy to use website that passes core web vitals- this is key.
Then focus on content- that answers what your CUSTOMERS search for.
And then, maybe backlinks for a little boost.

Start with the end in mind.... what keywords are you after, and what customer actions are you after. People forget this.

Make sure to do market research. Be 100% sure of what you are offering, and add quality content. No copy-paste, and follow SEO practices.

In addition, I would recommend using the tool CloudFunnels. It will save your time in creating a website, as it does not require any coding skills and offers varieties of plugins as well.

i recommend wordpress and use divi theme. Lots of support online too. I've tried various themes and this is by far my favourite to use. I use this for all my web design and SEO projects.

Make it all original text do not copy and paste of another site and do not over do on the keywords.

Unless you have months of time to get lost building something, I would recommend going with someone else that you can trust as an ally to do that stuff and help build your web presence.

As a business owner your time is best spent doing something that ONLY you Can do. Often times, that is service fulfillment or sales / management
