I don't pay an SEO agency. The real Claude Code tool stack I use for audits, schema, backlinks and keyword research, and what you can replicate free.
Every week brings another directory or 'guest post' pitch. Most are noise. The exact checklist I run before spending a dollar on any of them.
Most tutoring SEO advice stops at 'write blog posts.' The exact directory, association and guest-post list I worked through, in priority order.
Badges and streaks get students to log in, not to learn. Why ClassQuill skipped gamification for mastery, weakness and review systems parents can see.
