The lessons
In the order of the work: understand, look, verify, fix the address, the map, and the door, clean out the thin pages, and notify.
Lesson 1 · 14 minHow Google, Bing, and AI find a websiteWriting more pages won't help if the search engine can't read the ones you already have. This lesson shows the path a page takes until it appears in a search or an AI answer, the three principles of the inemaSEO method, and Google's official 2026 yardstick for telling foundation from fad.
Lesson 2 · 16 minRead-only X-ray: the HTML the server deliversA search engine doesn't see your site the way you see it in the browser: it reads the HTML the server delivers, almost always without running JavaScript. A 40-line script does that reading for you, without changing anything on the site, and in minutes it shows what no pretty dashboard will.
Lesson 3 · 15 minSearch Console and Bing Webmaster: verify your siteThe two free dashboards are the only official source for what Google and Bing see on your site: what is indexed, which searches show you, and, since 2026, what appears in the AI features. Before you create a new account, check whether someone has already verified the site. It happens more often than you'd think.
Lesson 4 · 13 minOne canonical only: www or non-wwwTo you, yoursite.com and www.yoursite.com are the same site. To a search engine, they can be two. When the canonical, the sitemap, and the links disagree, Google picks on its own which address to keep, and sometimes it picks the wrong one. This lesson closes that door.
Lesson 5 · 15 minSitemaps with real dates and hreflangThe sitemap is the list of pages you hand to the search engine. It only helps if it tells the truth: the pages that exist and the date each one actually changed. If your site has versions in other languages, hreflang says which is which, and that opens up a whole market.
Lesson 6 · 18 minrobots.txt by purpose: search, user action, and training"Block the AIs" has become a common request, and it is almost always worded wrong. Each AI company has different robots for searching, for opening a page at someone's request, and for training models. Blocking one does not block the others. And in 2026 your CDN may be deciding for you.
Lesson 7 · 15 minA thin page leaves the index (noindex until it has a body)Publishing many similar, thin pages does not give you more chances. It usually does the opposite. The search engine stops crawling the batch and starts to distrust the site. This lesson shows you how to find a thin page, take it out of the index and the sitemap, and bring it back only when it has something to say.
Lesson 8 · 18 minNotify the search engines and check indexingWith the foundation ready, every publication closes with two steps: notify the search engines that the URL exists and, a few days later, check whether it made it into the index. Notifying a broken URL burns trust; not checking leaves an important page forgotten. At the end, you build the dated plan for the whole course.
