1. Register your site in Search Console

Add your site in Google Search Console. Choose a domain property for the entire domain or a URL-prefix property for a specific URL range. Complete verification and submit your sitemap to start reviewing search performance.

2. Check your published pages

Use URL Inspection to review a page. Check its sitemap entry, links from other pages and any noindex setting left over from development. Give search engines a clear route to your content.

3. Choose a topic from a real task

For an image converter, try tasks such as converting several images to WebP or reducing a PNG on a phone. A specific task makes the page easier to plan. Aim to answer one useful question per page.

4. Write what a new user needs

Lead with what the service does, then explain the workflow, pricing and supported devices. Make instructions specific enough to follow. Use a title that tells readers what the page will help them do.

5. Add an introduction on Hiromeba

Hiromeba generates a listing from your service information and a connected page for each article you publish. Alongside SEO work on your own website, these pages give people another way to discover and share the service.
