Everyone knows someone who just set up their first blog on
[Blogger](https://www.blogger.com/), installed
[WordPress](https://wordpress.org/) for the first time or maybe who had
a website for some time but never gave search much thought. We came up with a
[first steps cheat sheet](https://storage.googleapis.com/support-kms-prod/SNP_3027140_en_v0)
for just these folks. It's a short how-to list with basic tips on search engine-friendly design,
that can help Google and others better understand the content and increase your site's visibility.
We made sure it's available in thirteen languages. Please you can read it, print it, share it,
copy and distribute it!


We hope this content will help those who are just about to start their webmaster adventure or
have so far not paid too much attention to search engine-friendly design. Over time as you gain
experience you may want to have a look at our more advanced
[Google SEO Starter Guide](https://developers.google.com/search/docs/fundamentals/seo-starter-guide).
As always we welcome all webmasters and site owners, new and experienced to join discussions on
our
[Google Webmaster Help Forum](https://support.google.com/webmasters/community).
