      While reading the beginners guide, I noticed that to increase my SEO I need to have access to the physical website (ie. to use html rich text/meta tags).

      I, however, used a third party creative team to build my site, so I have no admin access.

      Are there any step-by-step instructions of things I can do if I don't have portal access to my website to increase SEO?

      Please let me know. Thanks..

        Did the company who created the site for you give you a login, username & password? If not, they should have the credentials to login and give you access. If not, you'll need to contact them to:

        A) have them create a login for you.

        B) Once you have access, and if it's a Wordpress site you can create/optimize meta tags, but you might need a plugin for it. (The home page may be custom coded in which case you may not have access to that.)

        If this isn't a Wordpress site, you still will need access to the content management system (CMS) or backend in some way to change meta tags. I would contact them about creating a login.

          First, Daniel, you should have access to FTP (File Transfer Protocol or where website is hosted). For this, you will need to contact the company who created the website to request access these data:
          1 - Use FTP
          2 - FTP account password
          3 - Port (if needed)

          If the website can be managed through an interface (CMS, eg Wordpress, Joomla or Custom CMS), you'll need a username and a password.

          In the case of a simple website consisting of HTML and CSS, you should consider the following issues: Meta Titles, Meta Descriptions, Links Anchors and Titles, Images Alts and visible content. For more information, read the Begginer Guide.

          If a CMS like Wordpress, you can install various SEO plugins to ease your work. Example: AllInOne or Yoast SEO Pack. It's easy to use.

          Have a great day!
          Mike.
