Search work is slow, so we say what changed and when.
Overview
SEO added to a finished site is a set of patches. Most of what matters was decided when the pages were chosen, named and linked, and changing that afterwards means rebuilding.
So we do it while the site is being made: the pages come from what people search for, and the words on them are written for those people.
Nothing here is a trick. Search engines are trying to find the page that answers the question, and the work is making sure that page is yours and that it loads.
