In brief, what is SEO and why bother?

SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization, and it refers to the process of optimizing a website to improve its ranking on search engines such as Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc. By improving a website’s visibility on search engines, it can attract more organic traffic and generate leads and sales.

SEO is crucial for businesses that want to reach their target audience through the internet. A website that is optimized for search engines has a better chance of appearing at the top of search engine results, making it more likely that potential customers will find and visit your website. This increased visibility can lead to increased traffic on your website, improved awareness of your solutions and services, enhanced brand awareness, more leads, and concequently more sales.

The process of optimizing a website for search engines involves a range of different actions and tactics. These can mainly be grouped in two aspects, i.e. On-page SEO and Off-page SEO. 

On-page optimization involves optimizing the content on your website to ensure that it is relevant to your target audience and search engines. Off-page SEO refers to SEO factors and strategies that promote your site or brand across the web.

In conclusion, SEO is an essential part of any digital marketing strategy. By optimizing your website for search engines, you can improve its visibility, attract more traffic, and generate more leads and sales.

How to get started?

In general and as a guidance, you split up the SEO work in three areas where the technique and content precede the third priority being link building. Concentrate the work going from bottom-up. It makes no sense taking on link building if the two other areas aren’t taken care off.

Take part on the guidance given here on my website. I have split the information in 12 separate chapters as seen below. I will spend time on each of these areas throughout the different chapters. The below outline of blurbs offers you an understanding how the material is structured as a whole.

What’s next?

Having covered the twelve modules you should know a lot by now how search engines rank websites and how you can position your own website and business to generate more search traffic from search engines like Google.

So what can you do next?

Start by prioritizing your time and energy! No website does a perfect job of responding to Google’s search algorithms, at least not to all of them. There are more than 200 Google algorithms and you can’t “please” them all perfectly. Focus on the things you do well, the things you have the budget and resources for and that will give your business the best return on your investment.

If you’re good at creating and promoting content, decide which keywords to go after and focus your efforts there. If you have a large and complex website, focus on getting technical SEO right.

If you are running a small business, prioritize responding to Google Local Business and then focus on other SEO efforts.

Always remember that the ultimate goal of all SEO efforts is to get more exposure and traffic for your business or your website content. Look for ways search engine traffic can help your business and your website. Don’t just chase the latest SEO buzzwords or jump every time Google makes a recommendation that could improve your search rankings while hurting your overall business.
