There may be some SEO-related plugin for DW, but nothing out of the box, and given what DW is best at, I don't know that a DW plugin is your best route. Are you planning on just a small static site in DW or something database-driven like a CMS (ie: Wordpress)?

Use Code View and manually insert Meta Tags inside the <head> of your documents.

DW does not do SEO for you. That's the developer's job. HINT: Read the Google SEO Starter Guide.

Guys, I'm new here, I don't really understand everything yet. I want to promote my website and am thinking about contacting an SEO agency.

Do what you want but so-called SEO experts have no secret sauce. 90% of what they do is contained in Google's free SEO Guide.

Have you optimized your site with plenty of keyword-rich text content?

Is your content organized inside good semantic markup (h1, h2, h3, p tags)?

Most new sites buy search engine ads for the first 6-12 months. Google and Bing ads can boost site traffic for pennies a click giving you greater visibility on search results pages than you would get organically.

Title Tags and H1 tags should be your main focus, then content next and you will be on the right path.

Guys, I'm new here, I don't really understand everything yet. I want to promote my website and am thinking about contacting an SEO agency. Should I buy Dreamweaver in order to work properly with SEO? It just seems to me that it's much better to come up with it yourself, because a person thinks like a person, not like a program, and he will react to [spam link removed by moderator] rather than to links made by the program. What can you guys advise me? I'm just not that young and it's a little difficult for me to understand all the new technologies. It seems to me that business always needs to be approached creatively and that's why I'm a little worried about buying Dreamweaver.

Links are just links.

<a href="https://example.com">Example Link</a>

Web standards based code is what builds websites that web devices & browsers understand. Without code, you have nothing.

Dreamweaver creates code. If you're not convinced you need Dreamweaver to build your site, then use a free code editor instead. Your choice.

CODE TUTORIALS: Read chapters, do code exercises, take quizzes at the end.
