When Should You Start Thinking About SEO?

The answer is probably sooner than you think.

SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) often gets treated like a finishing touch, something you do after a site is built or a business is established.

But the reality is, if you care about being found online, SEO should be part of your strategy from the start.

Let's get into why it matters, and when to take it seriously.

Launching a Website? Make SEO Part of the Build

SEO isn’t just about blog posts and backlinks.

It’s about:

  • How your site is structured
  • What words you use on your key pages
  • How fast it loads and works across devices
  • Whether search engines can actually understand what you do

Getting this right during the build means your website isn’t just pretty (although that's great), it’s findable.

Already Have a Site? It’s Not Too Late

If your site’s already live, don't worry, SEO can be introduced.

It’s never too late to improve your visibility.

A well-executed SEO refresh might include:

  • Auditing your current setup
  • Fixing broken links or technical issues
  • Reworking page content for clarity and keyword strength
  • Creating new pages or blog content to target what people are searching for

The list goes on, and thats where we can help. We guide you through the SEO process, making it clear, and easy to execute.

You don’t need a total rebuild, you just need a clear plan and the right support.

Starting a New Business? Build With SEO in Mind

Before you even launch, SEO can help you:

  • Understand what your customers are searching for
  • Choose the right words and messages to reach them
  • Get a head start on ranking for relevant terms
  • Lay the foundation for long-term visibility

Think of it like opening a shop. You could have the best products, but if no one knows where to find you, it’s a missed opportunity and they're likely getting those products at one of your competitors who managed to show up at the right time..

It’s Not Just “Google Stuff”

SEO overlaps with everything:

  • The content on your homepage
  • The blog posts you write
  • Your social media strategy
  • Even your brand messaging

It’s not an isolated channel. It’s the connective tissue that helps people discover what you do.

Once SEO is rooted into your infrastructure, it works for you in the background.

Final Thought:

You don’t need to master SEO overnight.

But if you want to show up in the right searches, for the right reasons, it’s worth thinking about early and often.

And if you’re unsure where to start?

That’s exactly the kind of thing we’re here to help with.
