SEO stands for Search Engine Optimisation. It's the practice of helping your website rank higher in search results so more people can find you.
How Google Ranks Sites
Google uses hundreds of factors to rank websites. The three most important are: - Relevance — Does your content match what people are searching for? - Authority — Do other reputable sites link to you? - User Experience — Is your site fast, mobile-friendly, and easy to use?
The Three Pillars of SEO
- Technical SEO — The behind-the-scenes optimisation that helps search engines crawl your site
- On-Page SEO — Optimising your content, headings, and meta tags
- Off-Page SEO — Building backlinks and social proof
SEO takes 3-6 months to show meaningful results, but it's the most cost-effective long-term marketing strategy.
