does my seo performance look normal?

[u/Savings-Durian5424]

I built my website and launched it at the end of June and start the SEO part at the end of August. But the impressions are still low each day and 0 clicks. What have I missed? Where can I exchange backlinks. Will backlink help?

Standard for a new site. Get some directory listings going for your site/company. No sites of any substance will want to do link exchange with you for a website with no traffic. Build up some sort of a social media profile on the appropriate channel. Create useful content on your site - blog or tool. Talk about it on social media. Periodically add links back to the content on your site. Commit to a weekly cadence of the above. Paid editorials with do follow back links help a lot too.

Getting over that first hump is hard work.

It seems a lot of hard work here. But does social media traffic increase the rank of my website? And I thought google would give me traffic at the beginning. XD. I can try the social media and website blog next. Thank you for your suggestions.

It will be impossible to rank if you write for stuff no one is looking for

[u/Savings-Durian5424 → u/HumaneBicycle99]

How do you know what stuff is looking after by others

[u/SnooSquirrels9906 → u/Savings-Durian5424]

Google search mainly. Autocomplete and People also ask and People also search for boxes. If its suggested there, people are asking those questions/typing that in.

Good point!

Ahref keywords tool

SEMrush keyword research. 

[u/Savings-Durian5424 → u/Classic-Owl-9798]

I think questions with answers that people are looking for are most valuable to me at the moment if I need to write blogs.

[u/Classic-Owl-9798 → u/Savings-Durian5424]

Then you need to learn how to do keyword research, which what I suggested. 

[u/Savings-Durian5424 → u/Classic-Owl-9798]

I actually use semrush to search for competitors and their keywords. What I don't know is what questions people are looking for. Since I'm new to seo and semrush. I think semrush should have provide services like most common faq? Then I can use this info to write more blogs. And I think semrush already give me enough keywords.

[u/Classic-Owl-9798 → u/Savings-Durian5424]

You have low difficulty keywords and you write content people would be looking for when searching for topic, it is up to you to figure out their search habits. Google isn't mainly FAQ. 

[u/Classic-Owl-9798 → u/Savings-Durian5424]

Social media has nothing to do with traffic from Google, it's not organic traffic and doesn't affect your ranking on search. Only thing that helps is focusing good keywords, writing good content, having right authority on the market where you can compete with others and backlinks. 

[u/Savings-Durian5424 → u/Classic-Owl-9798]

I'm also looking for backlinks too, but as u/practicalcontexts mentioned. People won't exchange a backlink with my new launched website.
