Basic Website Setup (Must-Do)

Before publishing content, configure these:

 

Site Title & Tagline

Go to: Settings → General

Set a clear site title

Permalink Structure

Settings → Permalinks

Choose: Post name

 

Example: yourdomain.com/article-title

 

👉 This is very important for SEO.

 

🔹 Create Essential Pages (Mandatory)

Google Ads and AdX require these pages:

About Us – Who you are, what your site does

 

Contact Us – Email or contact form

 

Privacy Policy – Data & cookie policy

 

👉 Without these pages, ad approval will fail.

🔹 Security & SSL (Basic Protection)

 

Enable SSL (HTTPS) from hosting

 

Use strong admin password

Limit admin users

 

👉 Secure websites are trusted by Google.

 

🔹Final Check Before Content

 

Before moving to Step 2, ensure:

Website loads fast

HTTPS is active

Theme is mobile-friendly

Dashboard is accessible

Basic pages are published
