# Introduction

Why SEOCopilot?

We started SEOCopilot for 2 reasons.

1.) **SEO is very complex and only testing for many years will tell you what works.** To rank high, you need to master many topics. There's backlink building, technical seo, content, structured snippets, indexing, pruning, and more. You will only figure out what works after years of testing. 

For every aspect, there is a lot of recommendations and tips. A lot advise out there from SEO "experts"/"influencers" who have never ranked their own site. Our agency clients and app users are often very confused and don't know who to trust.

✅  **SEOCopilot is a collection of our best practices.**

2.) The **goal of SEO Copilot is to do SEO for you**. There are thousands of SEO tools that tell you what is wrong about your site. Very few tools actually  help you to fix your SEO issues. 

✅  SEOCopilot is an **actionable** tool that does SEO for you.

{% endcontent-ref %}

**2.) Index your website with Bing**

Next, we suggest that you index your site with Bing.

{% embed url="<https://pub-f1d61db34d1c4c29a005ddc39f2d126e.r2.dev/index_with_bing.mp4>" %}

{% content-ref url="bing-indexing/setup" %}
[setup](https://docs.seocopilot.com/the-seo-copilot/bing-indexing/setup)
{% endcontent-ref %}

**3.) Start to build backlinks**

SEOCopilot helps you to build foundational links to your website. This is often needed for very new domains or domains where no (or very light) linkbuilding has been done.

{% embed url="<https://pub-f1d61db34d1c4c29a005ddc39f2d126e.r2.dev/build_foundational_links.mp4>" %}

As a rule of thumb, the more links you have, the higher your chances to rank high on Google.

Link building is not a 1 time thing. You need to build up your domains over 6-12 months to establish good ranking.

Get started here:

{% content-ref url="backlinks/building-links" %}
[building-links](https://docs.seocopilot.com/the-seo-copilot/backlinks/building-links)
{% endcontent-ref %}

{% content-ref url="backlinks/background" %}
[background](https://docs.seocopilot.com/the-seo-copilot/backlinks/background)
{% endcontent-ref %}

**4.) Start to write content**

We suggest to write 1-2 content pieces per week to get in font of customers. SEOCopilot helps you with keyword research and writes blogs for you.

{% embed url="<https://pub-f1d61db34d1c4c29a005ddc39f2d126e.r2.dev/content_generation.mp4>" %}

Start writing your first blog here:

{% content-ref url="generate-content" %}
[generate-content](https://docs.seocopilot.com/the-seo-copilot/generate-content)
{% endcontent-ref %}

We suggest to not publish many many articles per day. It is better to schedule them to look more natural to search engines.&#x20;

Start scheduling your content here:

{% content-ref url="generate-content/scheduling-content" %}
[scheduling-content](https://docs.seocopilot.com/the-seo-copilot/generate-content/scheduling-content)
{% endcontent-ref %}
