    Avoid publishing posts or pages and calling it a day. As someone already pointed out, you need to make sure your content is indexable, because if it isn’t, it won’t show up on Google or Bing no matter how “optimised” it is.

    Publish a few pages and assess demand in Search Console after 30–60 days. Use the data to rework existing content or re-prioritise.

    Indexable but not getting indexed? Solve that problem first. You can’t monetise your content or get customers if you’re not appearing on Google and getting traffic.
