## What SEO actually is

## The beginner checklist

- **One clear topic per page. A page about "tokens" and a page about "models" beats one page about everything.**
- **A title that says what the page is. Under 60 characters, main keyword up front.**
- **A meta description that earns the click. 150?160 characters, human, specific.**
- **Headings that outline the page. Use one H1 and a logical H2 order.**
- **Alt text on images. Describe the picture; it helps people and search engines.**
- **Internal links. Link related pages so crawlers can explore your site.**

## Ranking in the AI age

> **Same habits, new readers. An AI bot that can understand your page will recommend it to a human. Clarity is the whole game.**

## A tiny toolkit to start

- **Google Search Console — see how your pages appear and which keywords bring clicks.**
- **your sitemap.xml — tells Google what pages exist (this site uses one).**
- **An AI with a terminal — run an SEO audit on your own posts (see the /og workflow).**
