Free SEO advice

[BaranKanat]

Hello, I created a website for a local business. I have no idea about SEO. I need to get my business to the top of Google.

The good thing is that when I looked at Semrush, I saw that there was not much competition. (In the category of business)

Are there any simple free SEO tactics I can do?

1) if you are new to seo you most likely have no clue what the semrush stats or reports actually mean
ur best option would be to post a screenshot of the smerush stats here and wait for input by others, just make sure to hide the domain

On a serious note, the problem is the people you are competing with probably know and have done all “no time no money” tactics, so if you did them also, it would get you no further than them

Well I was going to answer your OP but saw your reply that you don't want to invest time too!

In that case you pray in your free time because you will at minimum have to do things yourself or hire a VA.

I agreed with you that your selected niche have not so much competition but always make sure that low competition leads to low demand, so it might be possible that your selected niche will have very low demand in the market & which is a weak point for you.

Start with keywords and then progress from there.

you are absolutely right. There is low demand because there is low competition. We are aware of this. My goal is to direct all requests to my business website.
