Website SEO in 2026: Step by Step

Your business is going to make more money in 2026. And I know this because I'm going to help you build an SEO strategy. My name is Kate. I'm an SEO specialist. And this is literally what I do every day. No matter what your industry is, what your goals are, whether you want to rank on Google, ChatGBT, any other search engine, the first thing that I'm going to need you to do is disregard anything that you've got from chat GBT. Because unless you actually know what you're doing when it comes to SEO, anything Chat GBT gives you is going to be completely pointless. Map out the core topics that you want to rank for. Let's say that you sell car parts. You might sell parts for every single model, but chances are that you have specific makes, brands, models that you're selling parts for. Honda car parts, VW car parts. I don't know why I've picked this cuz I actually know very little about cars. You're going to get a list of all of the products that you sell. To speed this up for you, you can give ChatG those search topics and your list of products and tell it to map out your website's content strategy for you. You don't want ChatG to just give you a load of blog post ideas. That is not going to work. What you want to focus on is optimizing your product pages and creating a load of category pages for more broad searches related to your products. If you have a load of Honda engine parts, you would want a category page for Honda engine parts. You would also want to have a subcategory page for Honda Accord engine parts. Rinse and repeat this for all the different types of cars that you have engine parts for. This tells search engines exactly what it is that you offer in a variety of different ways. All of them ultimately target commercial and transactional keywords which are much more likely to attract people that want to buy.
