You’ve Launched Your Website — Now What?

First of all: congratulations!
Publishing your website is a huge milestone — and one that deserves celebrating.

But once that launch moment passes, many small business owners and freelancers experience the same thing:

😬 “It’s live… but no one’s visiting.”
😕 “Shouldn’t something be happening by now?”
😩 “Is it even working?”

If it feels quiet at first, don’t panic. That’s normal.
The internet is a crowded, noisy place — and websites don’t become visible just because they exist.

Let’s walk through a few key next steps to make sure your website doesn’t just exist… but actually works.

Help Your Website Rank: SEO Essentials

Search engines (like Google) need to understand what your website is about before they can show it to others.

Here are 5 basics to check right now:

  • Page titles & meta descriptions are clear and keyword-aligned

  • Alt text is added to every image

  • Images are renamed with relevant file names (not IMG_2394.jpg)

  • Headings (H1, H2…) are used intentionally

  • Strategic keywords are naturally placed in titles and paragraphs

Invite People In

Your site won’t get traffic just by sitting online.
You need to talk about it — often and everywhere.

Here’s how to start:

  • Share it with friends, family, and past clients

  • Add the link to all your socials and email signature

  • Mention it in your bio, stories, and every new offer

  • Add a QR code to flyers or business cards

  • Start writing content (like this blog!) to help Google find you

You’re proud of it — so let people know it’s live!

Remember: Your Website is Your Shop Online

Think of your site as your digital storefront.
Would you open a new store and never tell anyone? Never clean the window or change the display?

Your site needs attention, too.

Here’s your new mindset:
💡 SEO = Tell Google who you are
💡 Sharing = Tell people you’re open
💡 Updates = Keep it relevant and alive

It’s Okay to Ask for Help

You don’t need to figure it all out alone.
A website launch is just the beginning of your digital journey — and like any good journey, it helps to have a guide.
