What is SEO?
While this is not a new term, it certainly is hard for many people to get a grasp on an actual definition. SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization, but what is it exactly?
SEO essentially means making your site search engine-friendly. It sounds simple, but actually involves quite a bit of legwork. Good SEO means your site not only reads well to the engines, but also your customers.
Some basic components of SEO include:
- Domain Name
- Title Tags
- Meta Tags (description and keywords)
- Keyword-rich content
- Regularly-updated content
- Sitemaps
- Links from other websites to yours
With SEO, content is the key. Think about your product and the types of phrases your customers might use if they were searching for a product similar to yours. Make sure these phrases appear throughout your page. Additionally, make sure your website is updated regularly so engines will see changes.
SEO can be a very daunting task. On average, you should spend at least an hour a day checking out your website, updating content, checking your searches and traffic.
