WHAT IS SEARCH ENGINE
OPTIMIZATION?
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) refers to the practice of
optimizing a website's content, structure, and technical
elements to increase its visibility and relevance on search
engine result pages (SERPs). The goal of SEO is to attract more
traffic to a website by achieving higher rankings for specific

WHY IS SEO IMPORTANT?
SEO is important for a number of reasons. Firstly, it helps
businesses to reach a larger audience by improving their
visibility on search engines. Secondly, it can lead to higher

their market share.

algorithms to determine which websites should appear on the
SERPs for specific search queries. These algorithms consider a
wide range of factors, including the relevance and quality of a
website's content, its structure and technical elements, and its
popularity and authority.

topic or industry. It's an essential part of SEO as it helps

summary of the content of a webpage. They are displayed

keywords. Content should be written for humans, not search
engines, and should be engaging and informative.

relevance and usability. Websites should
be optimized for mobile devices to ensure

improve search engine rankings.
