Im trying to figure out this whole SEO thing… I could really use a beginner breakdown to get everything (sitemap, robots.txt, seotitle, etc) up and running properly with google. Thanks in advance.
You should read on Google about this. SEO is a fast changing domaine, not everyone say the same thing, and often people say opposite things. It’s a tough, vast domain. Try to find recent publications, an article from 4 years ago is already outdated I guess.
