What is SEO?

SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is the process of improving a website so it ranks better in search engines (Google, Bing, etc.) and attracts more organic traffic.


What SEO includes:

  1. Technical optimization
  • Loading speed
  • Mobile responsiveness
  • Error-free HTML structure and sitemap
  • Removing duplicate pages
  1. Content optimization
  • Keywords in headings and text
  • Uniqueness and value of content
  • Structure: H1-H6, lists, tables, subheadings
  • Meta descriptions and title
  1. Off-page optimization
  • Backlinks from other sites
  • Brand mentions
  • Domain authority
  1. UX and behavioral factors
  • Time on site
  • Page depth
  • Bounce rate

Why it matters: So the site ranks in the top of search results, so people find it, visit it, and take the needed actions - purchase, registration, subscription, etc. Without SEO, a website is like a store with no sign.
