How Do I SEO? Start Here (No Guesswork)
How do I do SEO for my site? Step-by-step answer for non-marketers: run a free scan, fix top 5 issues, publish 1 FAQ page. Full cycle under 2 hours.
Typing "how do I SEO" into Google is the right move. Most people start with books, podcasts, or $2k courses. You're smarter - you asked the direct question. Here's the direct answer: scan your site, fix the top 5 issues, add one FAQ page to your highest-value page. Done. That's the starter playbook.
Step 1 - Pinealizer free scan (30 seconds). You get Visibility Score + top 5 fixes. Step 2 - Fix them in order (usually: title tags, missing schema, slow images). Step 3 - Add an FAQ block with 5 real user questions to your homepage. That's 2 hours of work that beats most agencies' first month.

Frequently Asked
Scan your site for technical issues first, then write one clear H1 per page, then add Organization + Website schema. Those three steps cover 60% of technical SEO.
Use a tool that gives plain-English output. Pinealizer says "rewrite this title, here's a suggestion" instead of "CTR is sub-optimal in SERP position 7." Plain language = actionable.
$0-30/month if you use a scanner like Pinealizer. $0 if you run one free scan per month and fix issues manually. Only paid agencies start at $2k+.
Three metrics: Google Search Console impressions (rising), Visibility Score (Pinealizer shows this), and branded-search volume (Google Trends). All three should climb over 8-12 weeks.
