Hi All,

First of all thank you for reading my post. I dont know much about SEO but one of my friend suggested me last night in the pub; "If you make Google happy your websites life will be sorted" and I feel now after reading lot of contents online that google really plays an important role to bring in traffic.

I am starting a new website for which I am investing a lot of money in development and quality assurance. But I need to understand now how to implement SEO step by step so that I get specific and relevant traffic only. I have registered a domain got a hosting setup.

My SSL certificates are installed and I got a comming soon page up too with mail chimp integration. If you want to have a look at my site then please go to

My developers will put up the website by the end of first week of December 2015.

IDEA: well its a tried and testing formula which fiverr is using at the moment. Reverse job marketplace. Thats right a lot of website are build with this idea before and shut down slowly slowly. But mine one will have a small change. And you will get to know about it once it start working full flash.

I really appriciate if you can suggest me what steps I should follow now even before launching my site so that it gets an attention of all search engines. Also I would like to know if anyone offering any Genuine SEO services around here with definite results. I understand the basics like blogging and directory submission. I would like to know more about keyword research and more deeper SEO technicques.

Thanks Looking forward to hear from you guys.

Context: harshalone is building a reverse job marketplace and has a coming‑soon page and SSL in place. The immediate, high‑impact pre‑launch priorities are crawlability, a predictable URL/redirect strategy, page performance, and measurement. The short checklist below builds on community suggestions (, , , ) and gives concrete steps that stay useful over time.

  • Technical checklist (pre‑launch)

    • Choose a canonical host (www or non‑www) and 301‑redirect all other variants to it; enforce HTTPS everywhere.
    • Keep the coming‑soon page from being indexed: serve a 503 + Retry‑After while development is ongoing, or add a meta noindex until real content is ready.
    • Don’t block CSS/JS in robots.txt; block staging/test paths instead. Example:
    User-agent: *
Disallow: /staging/
Sitemap: https://<domain>/sitemap.xml
    • Ensure crawler‑visible content for JavaScript sites: SSR, pre‑render, or a dynamic‑rendering fallback.
    • Build an XML sitemap of canonical URLs and verify the site in Search Console and analytics before launch.
    • Mobile‑first performance: CDN, caching, compressed assets, and fast TTFB.

  • Content & listing rules (marketplace specifics)

    • Prevent thin/duplicate pages from job reposting: require a unique description or canonicalize reposts to a single canonical listing.
    • Implement structured data for job pages (JobPosting) so listings are clear to search engines. Minimal JSON‑LD example:
    <script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context":"https://schema.org",
  "@type":"JobPosting",
  "title":"Front‑end Developer",
  "description":"Short unique description.",
  "datePosted":"YYYY-MM-DD",
  "hiringOrganization":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Example Co"},
  "jobLocation":{"@type":"Place","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressLocality":"City"}}
}
</script>

  • Launch & early traction

    • Pre‑launch checks: curl -I https://<domain> (confirm 200 on main pages, correct redirects), verify sitemap accepted, and monitor crawl errors.
    • For initial users, targeted posts on niche marketplaces and relevant social groups (as suggested by ) work better than broad directory submissions.
    • Keep learning basics (per ), and double‑check hosting/DNS if pages appear down (as observed).

Measure funnel metrics from day one, iterate title/meta content from real query data, and focus first on making the product useful to earn links and repeat visits rather than chasing quick SEO tricks.

You wll get a lot of traditional answer on SEO strategy. I think you will do all those are suggested. But in order to get unique visitors you may to two things; post a job on any online marketplace mentioning your site. Moreover, you can join few job seeking Facebook group; it will bring you unique visitors. For example I have done for the vintage clothes. Hope it will work for you. Thank you.
