first page? With Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) carried out by an online marketing agency.

advertising revenue is dedicated to search engine marketing. Website owners face immense pressure to rank well on search engines, and SEO experts

WHAT ARE THE RANKING FACTORS?
SEO is the practice of optimizing your website to make it rank as high as possible on the organic search engine results pages (SERPs). The
term ‘organic’ is used to refer to unpaid search results. This is in contrast to pay-per-click advertising (PPC) which is the approach that focuses
on paid traffic generation.
Organic rankings on Google’s SERP are decided by its algorithm that takes various characteristics and SEO metrics into account - which are
your ranking factors.
