Just dive in and start learning by doing. Build a website, explore some keywords, and aim to rank. It’s all about testing things out to see what sticks and what doesn’t.

Yeah, it’s surprising. I’ve noticed a lot of SEO experts haven’t even tried making their own website. Instead, they’re either testing things out on clients’ sites or just repeating what they read on SEO blogs.

Absolutely. Hands-on experience is key. Theory is one thing, but actually diving in and doing it teaches you way more. Every website and keyword is unique, so there’s no one-size-fits-all approach. And you’re right, sometimes you can’t even showcase client work because of confidentiality agreements. Being able to demonstrate your own success speaks volumes.

I’m focusing on tech gear, breaking down the complicated stuff to make it easier for folks who might not grasp it fully. I’m aiming to get my articles up in the ranks and dabbling in SEO, but I’m not entirely confident if I’m nailing it.

Hey, how do you figure out where you’re standing in search results?
I’ve heard about Google Analytics, but does that really give you the scoop on whether your SEO game is on point or not?

Yeah, Google Analytics is definitely handy, but there are a few other tricks too. You should also check out Search Console; it’s pretty useful. And if you want to keep a close eye on your rankings, you can always do it manually or use a site like SerpRobot to check where you stand.

Yeah, I’ve used it too, and it’s pretty awesome. Plus, it doesn’t cost a thing, and it’s really user-friendly. It not only tells you where your keywords rank but also shows you who’s ranking in the top 10 for those keywords. Sometimes, even if I’m not checking my own site, it gives me cool ideas for new posts or articles to write.

Yeah, I totally agree with what the other person said. Doing it manually is probably the way to go. Especially if you’re running a local business because search results can vary depending on your location. Just type your keyword into Google and see where you land on the list.
