For a new site, I’d start with technical SEO and useful content, then build topical coverage and internal links. Once the foundation is solid, focus on relevant, quality backlinks rather than volume. Consistency is key.
It would be technically cleaned first, then develop a small set for a single topic rather than developing it for all. backlinks comes only after I have developed some pages that are worthy of receiving backlinks otherwise it means pushing a poor base.
In an entirely new domain i would start with developing a tightly knitted cluster of topics and work on long-tail keywords with no backlinks. Internal linking is far more important than external linking, especially in the initial stages.
new category ensure technical settings are done correctly nd create 10-15 posts on this topic. In the scenario where there are no impression for GSC, the backlinks may be too soon.
when starting a new site i would probably do all the groundwork before i begin my search for backlinks. make sure that all the technical aspects of the website are in order, add quallity content on an interesting subject matter, nd interconnect the pages through smart internal links. after the website has enough worthwhile content it will be time to look for backlinks.
For a new site, I'd focus on good content and the basic technical stuff first. Then I cover related topics and add internal links between the pages. Backlinks are still useful, but I wouldn't stress too much about them at the start.
