what is seo

SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) is the process of improving your website so it appears higher in Google search results. Higher rankings mean more people find your business online — without paying for ads.

How SEO Works

Google uses complex algorithms to decide which websites appear first for any given search. SEO helps your site meet Google's criteria so it ranks above your competitors.

The 3 Pillars of SEO

• On-Page SEO — Optimising your website content, headings, meta descriptions, images, and page speed. This is what's visible on your actual website.
• Technical SEO — Ensuring your website is fast, secure (HTTPS), mobile-friendly, and easy for Google to crawl and index.
• Off-Page SEO — Building authority through backlinks (other websites linking to yours), social media presence, and online reviews.

Why SEO Matters for Your Business

• Most people never scroll past page 1 of Google results
• Organic (free) traffic from SEO is more cost-effective than paid ads long-term
• Good SEO builds trust and credibility with potential customers
• Local SEO helps nearby customers find your business on Google Maps
