Focusing on content is the right instinct — but the emphasis should be on original, people-first material that demonstrates real experience and usefulness, not content created primarily to chase rankings. Add clear bylines, cite sources, and build deeper “content hubs” (comprehensive pages that answer a user’s question) rather than mass-producing short, thin pieces. (developers.google.com)

Be careful with mass article submissions and press‑release blasts: Google has explicitly warned that large-scale, link-focused article campaigns can be treated as link-scheme behavior. Targeted guest posts, journalist outreach, and true digital PR that earns editorial links are safer and more effective. When you syndicate or place content externally, use canonical tags to point back to the original and qualify paid or commercial links (for example with rel="sponsored"). Example snippets:

<link rel="canonical" href="https://example.com/original-article" />

<a href="https://publisher.com/article" rel="sponsored">Read the article</a>

(developers.google.com)

Technical quality and user experience amplify content efforts. Improve page speed, reduce layout shifts, and make pages mobile-friendly — these page‑experience signals (Core Web Vitals and related factors) affect how your pages compete in search and how satisfied visitors are once they arrive. Use PageSpeed Insights / Lighthouse to find concrete fixes (optimize images, defer noncritical JS, use caching/CDN). (developers.google.com)

Measure and prioritise. Verify the site in Search Console, watch the Performance report (queries, impressions, CTR, pages), check Index Coverage and Core Web Vitals reports, then work the highest-impact issues first. Earn links by helping relevant communities and by producing useful resources people want to reference — social shares can amplify distribution but won’t replace on-site quality. This pulls together points others made here (for example , , , and ) into a single, measurable workflow: audit → fix UX/tech → create people‑first content → targeted outreach → measure & iterate.

Your SEO strategies are mostly fine but if I were you, I would stop submitting content to article submission sites. They tend to be sometimes spammy and has duplicate content. Focus more on creating online interactions like in social media, forums and even blog commenting.

They do but just work on offpage and onpage SEO, backlinks, page speed and content for sure is a king. You will find lot of SEO tips online on google so I would suggest if you start from there.

Well I gues @OP is already getting his hands dirty over off page - don't you thing "content focused Press release, article submissions, blog articles" comes under off page ?

I suggest not to do article submission as it can be considered as spammy. If you really want to increase your traffic and ranking do submit your article on blog and share them with your friends and followers on social networks. It will help you to make your website more viral and you will get natural backlinks from your friends and followers too.

You can also add your websites to online review platforms like Yelp and ask clients to write some good reviews about it. Don't do mass article submission or you will have negative impact. Better write some good articles and find relevant blogs to publish them.
