SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) is a set of marketing techniques used to make your website more visible online. Search engines aim to help users find the most useful websites, and they use complex algorithms to do this. Providing a great user experience and demonstrating this to search engine bots is the main aim of SEO. The key activities of SEO are:
Due to the diverse nature of business, every organisation will have its own end goals, but the main benefit of SEO is to drive more customers to your site and increase conversion rates and/or sales. It’s important to note that whilst rank position (where you appear in the web search results) can be an indicator of the effectiveness of SEO work, it is not the end goal. Rankings fluctuate constantly but it takes consistent SEO efforts over time to produce long lasting results in terms of site traffic and, in particular,conversions.
