It is how you get found on Google by people looking for similar solutions to your offering.
Imagine you have decided to be an entrepreneur and after extensive brainstorming, you opened a bakery.
But how you will go about setting up your bakery?
1) First Step In SEO for SaaS is Setting up Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tool:
After renting or buying the place for the bakery, you will take input from your friends and family 👪.
Take useful advice into consideration and work on any shortcomings that are present.
Which cakes are popular, what flavors do they like, what other things they would like with cakes, etc, etc.
Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tool act like friends and family giving free advice.
2) Setting up Google Analytics:
You should maintain the Register to note 📝 down information of the customers for your bakery.
When they came in: Date, Day, Month, where they came from, what they were looking for, what they bought, etc.
Google Analytics Acts like a Register on the counter of a shop. It keeps a record of where the customers came from( organic, social, direct), and how much time they spent on which page.
The platforms they used (mobile, Desktop)
3) Install and set up an SEO plugin:
Then you will hire an Interior Designer to design the bakery and make it more customer-friendly and attractive.
The SEO plugin acts as an Interior Designer. It suggests changes to make the website more search-friendly.
4) Generate and submit a Sitemap:
The next step will be to design a proper Menu Card. So people can order their desired cake 🎂 .

5) Create a Robots.txt file:
A Notice Board to let the customers know which cakes are not available.

Mail Box to get letters from customers and notices from authorities.
Google Search Console also acts like a Compliant Box where you get
7) Make sure your site is indexed :
You must have a proper sign board that displays your Name, Services, and Contact Info so that people passing by, can understand what services you offer.
Then list the name of the business in Local Business Directories so the people looking for the cake 🎂 can contact you.
Sign Board, Listing in Business Directories, etc.

Bartenders keep all the information about what is happening in the town.
A Keyword Planner is like a bartender who keeps the information about everyone’s searches.
Trending Searches, Search Volume, etc.
In the real world when we want to provide service or products like cake we look for which cake has the most demand and is not made by a lot of bakers.
Just like that
Always look for Low Competition High Volume Keywords.
For Keyword Planner you need a Google ads account.
There are niche communities for various activities. Like

Let’s say your customer is interested in one of the cakes that she tasted at a friend’s birthday party. She got the number from her friend.
But the problem is the number you provided on your card and your actual number is different.
Will she be able to call you? Just like that, a misspelling of a URL could lead to the loss of potential customers/traffic.

Remember to redirect the Older URL to the New URL
Firewall and Geolocation Restrictions are used for providing security to the websites. But they can also act as a barrier for potential customers from accessing your website.
Just like when we move things in a shop and a customer needs help finding items. When we move content on the website the customer needs help locating the content.
We need lots of plugins for various services. These plugins can create bloat, and security issues, Leading to a downgrade in the indexing of the website.
