2. SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION
INTRODUCTION
SEO means Search Engine Optimization and is the process used to
optimize a website's technical configuration, content relevance and link
popularity so its pages can become easily findable, more relevant and
popular towards user search queries, and as a consequence, search engines
rank them better.
Example- The most common example of on-page SEO is optimizing a piece
of content to a specific keyword. For example, if you're publishing a blog
post about making your own ice cream, your keyword might be “homemade
ice cream.” You'd include that keyword in your post's title, slug, meta
description, headers, and body.

3. HOW SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION WORKS
• On-page SEO strategy focuses on optimizing the content hosted on your own
website, so things like your title tags, page content, site speed and more. To optimize
this content, you need to understand the relevant keywords your audience is looking
for and use that as a guide to build your site content.
