What comes before SEO but after making the website?

[Connor]

Is there something in between? Lets say you choose a domain name and stock the website with the niche products you are selling, prior to looking for paid SEO advice is there anything in between?

Thanks.

I recommend you do some keyword research first and also competitor analysis.
If you domain name and website are new then its not a good idea to start with highly competitive keywords but you do want to want to optimise for keywords with a reasonable search volume.
If you are going to pay someone for SEO I highly recommend that you take up some references and find out what they have done for other clients.

You need content cause content is king for SEO. Without excellent content, a website may as well be dead. If you want your website to be found by the right people and be indexed by search engines, make sure to fill it with quality content. Use keywords to make it more searchable, but avoid keyword stuffing. Search engines can now easily spot spam content and stuffing your content with too much keywords can be considered as spam.

If your site is there to get organic search traffic, you already build the site with a SEO plan in mind. This is especially the case for 'onsite' SEO. When your site is ready, you will start promoting the site and therefore build back links ('offsite' SEO). After some time, it's also a good idea to add more content (for example, few pages per month) to your site. There is nothing between, in case you plan things well from the very beginning...

You will need to provide your visitors with quality content for them to view. You should either hire a company or write great content yourself.

In my opinion after the website is developed and before SEO there are some preparations to be done. I will suggest you to write quality content with a professional writer and add it in different inner pages according to your products and services etc. After that you can search for a professional SEO company or independent who can provide you the result oriented services. And after all you can do some keyword research too for your keywords globally or locally as per your requirement.

Great to see several replies. Indeed, afterwards your website development and above-mentioned to SEO, you do wish to get with the agreeable accounting for the site. This can again be adapted in accordance to SEO (if required), just by bond it up with the keywords.

This is not really a chicken and egg question, so what does come before SEO, Social Media and Inbound Marketing. When many businesses think about increasing their traffic they start with all the usual terms of SMO, SEO, Social Media and Inbound Marketing. This is before they consider the functionality of their website. Your website should always come before undertaking and Social Media or Inbound Marketing.

Why your website functionality comes before any SEO, Social Media or Inbound Marketing is that you need to consider if your website is capable of converting your new visitors into leads. What is the point of any increase in traffic if we cannot covert any of it into leads or customers? A good way to view your website is a part of your overall sales process and look to see how your website integrates into it. This should always come before undertaking an SEO, Social Media or Inbound Marketing.

You can see why this is an important step before you do any SEO, Social Media or Inbound Marketing. A quick test would be to write down your sales process in simple steps and see how or if your website adds to the sales process. Let's take an example of a car dealership, the reason why I picked that one is that most times the sales has to take place offline in person. Their sales process might be something like this:

1: Potential clients comes in or phones up about a particular car.
2: After an initial chat with a salesperson may agree to test drive
3: Once returning from the test drive the fun starts with the valuation of their current car etc
4: And so on
