It is always exciting: after some months of preparation, here it is, your new website. It is awesome, it is everything you wanted it to be, and you really poured your heart and soul into it. It is user and mobile-friendly, the design is nice and engaging. You are happy. That is, until you realise that you are not getting any organic traffic from Google. You just aren’t ranking for any keyword.

For many people, starting a business can be a stressful and overwhelming undertaking. Well, this is especially true for those who want to not just start a business, but start a business that will succeed!
