1. Install Yoast SEO and Complete Setup
The first step is installing Yoast SEO. It guides you step by step. Complete the first-time configuration and it will handle the technical stuff for you.

2. Delete Sample Pages and Posts
WordPress comes with a “Sample Page” and “Hello World” post. Delete them. They look unprofessional and confuse Google.

Google ranks helpful content. Don’t just write for keywords. Answer real questions your readers have. Keep it simple and useful.

4. Use Headings and Short Paragraphs
Break your content with H2 and H3 headings. Keep paragraphs 2-3 lines long. This makes it easy to read for both people and Google.

5. Add a Meta Description
Before you publish, scroll down to Yoast SEO box. Write a 1-2 line description of your post. This is what people see on Google.
