• Create or choose a site (depending on your plan)

Typical first-time flow

1. Open the Dashboard.
2. Click Manage (or similar) on your site.

SEO Guide

SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is how people find your website on Google and other search engines.

SEO basics (plain English)

• Title tells Google what the page is about.
• Description helps convince people to click.

How SEO works in this system
