SEO Launch Checklist for Startups '26 Edition | by Marie Cole Does Google
You have Googled "how to do SEO" before. You have read the articles. You have nodded along to the tips. And then you closed the tab and nothing changed because nothing you found actually told you what to do on your actual site in a specific order that made sense.
That is the gap this fills.
Ninety specific, actionable steps organized across every dimension of SEO that actually moves the needle — technical SEO, on page optimization, content strategy, off page authority, local SEO, and analytics setup. Not ninety tips you have to figure out how to apply. Ninety steps with real "How To Do This" instructions built in so you always know exactly what you are doing and why it matters.
And before you even start? The built in SEO Audit Scorecard lets you score your current site honestly so you walk in knowing exactly where you stand and exactly where to focus first. No more spending hours on the wrong thing because you guessed at your priorities.
