front end web development seo

There's a lot to do with SEO. The question I have is once I get good enough at HTML, CSS and Javascript, I want to start doing freelancing to start building a profile. However, if SEO is an ongoing process, how do I know when a website is completely finished to send back to a client? If I have another client that needs a website up, how can I tackle new projects for other clients while monitoring the SEO of another site that was finished weeks ago? Or do clients usually hire someone to work for them to manage their SEO?

Usually from my point of view, first you would establish the SEO platform and all the necessary thing for the client and clearly tell them that you would need to manage the SEO.

To manage the SEO on a day to day basis is itself a big task. I have experienced that from my experience with clients and SEO. It is always best that the clients manages the SEO. If you want to manage the SEO of your client and i think it is best for you to charge them separately on a monthly basis or hourly basis for the SEO. When i first started out it was a small thing on SEO. Now it has grown to al together a separate job.

Awesome, but I still don't understand what does it mean to "manage SEO on daily/monthly basis". I perfectly understand that you have to set all SEO things up as it was shown in this course, but I didn't get what exactly do you need to do on regularly basis.
