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:
- Technical optimization
- Loading speed
- Mobile responsiveness
- Error-free HTML structure and sitemap
- Removing duplicate pages
- Content optimization
- Keywords in headings and text
- Uniqueness and value of content
- Structure: H1-H6, lists, tables, subheadings
- Meta descriptions and title
- Off-page optimization
- Backlinks from other sites
- Brand mentions
- Domain authority
- 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.
