  I just want to know where is the SEO button in my account. Where is it located? Where can I see it on my screen? At which place should I click with to reach the SEO option? Please help.

  Do I have to buy premium account and then only I will be able to see the SEO option in my dashboard or is it also available in the free wordpress account? If yes then where is SEO located in the dashboard. I want to know the place?

  There is no such thing as an SEO button and it’s important to comprehend that search engine optimization is a blogging skill that every blogger needs to learn. There are not shortcuts and there are no plugins that outperform the educated human brain.

  There is no SEO plugin but you can optimize your every post, through post editor. You can verify your blog for GWT under tool option (yourblog.wordpress.com/wp-admin/tools.php)
  Under setting section you can optimize social sharing and some other features.

  @nishant94 – as mentioned by others, for blogs on WordPress.com there is no “SEO button.” WordPress.com takes care of the SEO for you.

  If you wanted to use an SEO plugin you’d need to be on a self-hosted WordPress site using software from WordPress.org.

  @auxclass posted some great links you should check out.
