Even a small personal or portfolio site benefits from a light-touch DIY SEO pass, particularly if you want it to be discoverable for your name or specific expertise.
Optimize for Your Name and Core Expertise
A personal site's SEO priorities are usually narrower than a business site, focused on your name and specific area of work.
Keep Technical Basics in Order Even on a Small Site
Titles, a working sitemap, and mobile-friendliness matter just as much on a small personal site as on a larger one.
Update the Site Periodically to Stay Current
A personal site that hasn't been touched in years tends to fall behind both technically and in relevance, even without any dramatic issue.
Next step: Use the SEO Audit to check your personal site's technical basics even though it's small.
