Before you download
Is it really free?
Yes — completely free. Enter your email and the checklist lands in your inbox. You’ll also get the occasional practical tip from me; unsubscribe any time with one click.
Do I need to be technical?
No. It’s written in plain English for business owners and people learning marketing. Each step says what to do and why it matters — no code required.
Is it only for SEO?
No — it covers getting found on Google and being cited by AI assistants like ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity. That AI-search section is the part most checklists still don’t have.
Will it work outside India?
Yes. The fundamentals are universal — the checklist works for a business anywhere. I work with clients across India, the US, UK and Canada.
