Why Sequence Matters
Working on SEO before fixing your conversion rate means more visitors to a leaky bucket. Fixing technical issues before creating content means a technically clean site with nothing to rank. The order of improvements matters as much as the improvements themselves.
This 90-day plan follows the sequence that produces the fastest measurable results for most websites.
Days 1–30: Fix What's Broken

- Quick wins: Missing titles, broken forms, 404 errors on ranked pages
Days 31–60: Optimize for Conversions

- Form optimization: Remove unnecessary fields, add trust signals
