Start-ups should invest in SEO from day 1.
As time will pass anyway why wait 6 month or a year before you start to develop and implement a customized strategy. And there couldn’t be a better way to support my statement, than showing a real case study on a start-up website which I created myself.
Even if you are not building a start-up, but for example, thinking of starting a site project or affiliate website you can still apply these tactics.
If you are struggling with current SEO efforts or believe there is still space for improvements, I would suggest to compare both strategies to find gaps and opportunities. Simply fill the gaps by utilizing some of the tactics I used and achieve better results.

What’s Start-Up SEO?
From a start-up’s perspective, the amount of established businesses clogging up search engine result pages may seem more than a little invincible. Many business websites have been optimised for years, working to dominate first page top results and rank out any competitors.
While it is true that more established websites may have an advantage in some important elements of search engine optimization, there are plenty of tactics and strategies start-ups should consider to increase organic search traffic, number of leads and build a strong and sustainable framework.
There are even some massive benefits when starting from scratch. Building a new website with SEO principles in mind from the start will avoid time and money spend on lengthy optimisation projects something many ranking competitors must do based on their legacy set-up.
As a start-up, it is easy to shift focus away from SEO as it requires a lot of time and expertise. To avoid this channel being left on the side it is recommended to put someone internally or externally in charge of all projects this will also help to develop expertise and insights which can be shared and used across different channel teams.
