Generally, simplicity in design is always better. Having visual hierarchy and consistent use of colors makes it easy for people to understand the message conveyed.

True, SEO is a marathon effort, and low competition keywords can help the new site take off early on. I would monitor impressions and clicks using Search Console to see what works.

When you need just that little bit of money, I wouldn’t advise going for equipment straight away. Work with your existing resources and start with basic freelance work or lead generation or whatever else you can do fast.

Yeah, I agree that consistency is important, but in my opinion, one should measure which reels attract people’s attention to their profile and get more follows rather than post more.

I would use GSC first and ensure that the basic factors were covered before using indexing services – these being internal links, sitemap and ensuring that the page is not thin content or duplicated. Indexing services may assist in discovery but cannot ensure indexing by Google.

It is still worthwhile, but I would not create such a website only for making money through advertisements. Choose a niche where people have high purchase intent and there are various ways to earn money from the website.

Same goes for me, they’re usually underrated compared to getting new backlinks. I would suggest trying things one by one and checking their influence on rankings, CTR, engagement etc.

Yeah, that's what I think too. In case an AI answer is fully satisfying to the query asked, clicking will not be worth much effort; the intent is there.

tbf, it is the thumbnails that get the click, but the title and first few seconds have to make the impact. Curiosity is great, but misleading thumbnails will definitely backfire at some point in time.

Yeah, the first slide really just has one function, and that is to make you pause and swipe. From then on, just try to have one important thing per slide.

All visits on social media do not have to be sales conversion. There are instances where people find businesses through search engines and referrals, and they need to check their social profiles before buying into their legitimacy.

Yes, going too broad from the get-go tends to dilute the website’s content. Get depth into one subject area first before you branch out.

Facts: Wasted time looking at content before figuring out that all the top 3 results were calculators. Page analysis trumps volume any day.

Yeah, raw traffic figures may be very deceptive. I would take into account the source, intention, geography, and engagement as well; 10,000 targeted visitors can be much more valuable than 50,000 generic clicks.

Yes, hosting is more important in this case for stability than any mystical effect on SEO rankings. If the site is up and fast enough, I would look elsewhere.
