I want to handle it myself and believe there's room for learning too. Which tools do you recommend? I'm torn between Ahrefs, SEMrush, and Ubersuggest. Apart from tools, what are some tips to give a good kickstart and build momentum in the highly saturated design and branding services industry?
Thank you for your time!

Get a good SEO teacher. If you try to do SEO by reading blogs, you will get lost quite fast.

hey brother Jamayal,
navigating SEO in a crowded industry like design can seem like a daunting task, but you're on the right path by seeking to learn and handle it yourself. here are some thoughts:
1. be unique: SEO isn't just about technicalities. uniqueness in content and services provided sets you apart. understand what makes your studio different and leverage that.
2. keyword research: critical for understanding what your potential clients are looking for. all the tools you mentioned - ahrefs, semrush, ubersuggest - are solid options. i'd recommend trying their free trials and seeing which one fits your workflow best.
3. optimize your website: ensure it's fast, mobile-friendly and provides a great user experience. google loves websites that users love.
4. create valuable content: blogs, case studies, how-to guides - anything that will provide value to your audience and position you as a resource in the design industry.
5. local SEO: often overlooked, but can be super effective, especially if you're servicing a particular geographic area.
6. build quality backlinks: guest posting, collaborations, and offering testimonials are great ways to start.
7. be patient: SEO is a marathon, not a sprint. keep optimizing, creating, and learning.
remember, SEO is as much about people as it is about search engines. understand your audience, provide them with value and the rankings will follow.
best of luck!
Thank you for providing such a detailed response. I will definitely try out these tips. Do you have any recommendations regarding the frequency of publishing a blog? Additionally, how can one compete in a saturated market, especially when the keywords are already dominated by big industry players? Thank you for your valuable suggestions!
