What I’d do first

What I'd do first
- Clarify the outcome you need this week
- Check the live SERP for the query

Plain-English take
SEO optimization tools are software that help you research, audit, track, and improve a website’s organic search performance.
What I got wrong
- Treating it as a one-off task
- Copying someone else's playbook without checking intent
- Measuring vanity metrics instead of the job-to-be-done
