Search Engine Optimisation is like the compass that guides your website through the vast landscape of the internet. It’s all about optimizing your online content to make sure search engines like Google can easily find, understand, and rank it. The higher your website ranks in search results, the more visible and accessible it becomes to potential visitors.
Getting specific
The algorithms aim is to connect relevant users with relevant content. E.g. it’s trying to connect a person who want flowers with the people selling flowers. The more specific the better. If the search engine knows the person wants a certain species; colour, number of flowers within a certain time frame, this enables the search engine to deliver more relevant results. If you want potential customer to find you organically in search results you need to make sure the search engine has and can understand as much information as possible.
The Pillars of SEO
SEO has three main pillars: technical SEO, on-page SEO, and off-page SEO. Technical SEO involves optimizing your website’s backend to ensure it’s easily crawled and indexed by search engines. On-page SEO focuses on optimizing individual web pages with strategic keywords, meta tags, and quality content. Off-page SEO, on the other hand, involves building quality backlinks to your site, enhancing its authority and credibility in the eyes of search engines.
Keyword Magic
Keywords are the magic words that unlock the door to higher search engine rankings. By conducting keyword research and strategically incorporating relevant keywords into your content, you can attract the right audience to your site. Remember, it’s not just about stuffing keywords everywhere; it’s about creating valuable, engaging content that aligns with what your audience is searching for.
