Most people think SEO is something you deal with after building a website, but that’s exactly how you end up with a pretty site no one ever sees. I’ve made that mistake myself, launched a project, shared it with friends, got a few visits, and then… crickets. That’s when I understood SEO isn’t just about keywords or chasing Google’s algorithm. It’s about making your site readable, fast, structured, and actually useful for real people. Even something simple like clean URLs, proper meta tags or internal linking can massively change how visible your pages are. Services like linkbuilding platform help with the off-page part of SEO by building quality backlinks, but none of that matters if the site’s foundation is weak. Good development and good SEO aren’t separate jobs, they’re the same job done properly. Ignore SEO, and you’re basically building a billboard in the desert.
