Hi,

Eli here from TinyIMG.

If I were you, I’d focus on your story first, social media second, and SEO last. You can make your technical SEO perfect and optimize every page, but that alone won’t bring people in.

Most of your traffic will come from people connecting with your brand and story. Share what makes you different, what drives you, and why you started. That’s what gets shared, talked about, and remembered.

If your story is genuine and gets people interested, you’ll naturally get backlinks, social exposure, and strong organic traffic without forcing it.
