I remember I have a website, from a BlogSpot to a WordPress website. I don't know about SEO or anything, just ask Google first, then find any document tell me what to do next. After 1 years, maybe too long for a site to grow. but I get more traffic from YouTube Channel, other website say about my site, and my site get more and more traffic. My keyword is ranked top 1 for almost two years before it go down a little bit. Like a brand building, there are nobody come to your website first, so wait and try to do anything you can. Building good content, good backlinks both do-follow and no-follow, diversity of backlinks, using PBN if you have more money or Run an Ad campaign on Facebook or Adwords, it's the shortest route.
