Search Engine Optimization, also known as SEO, relates to your website’s visibility on the Internet. Often websites are created and many people believe that once they’re online, they’ll be found, however, this is not always the case. If you’re in a competitive industry there could be many people vying for a position on page 1 of an Internet search using Google, Yahoo, Bing and other search engines. By applying Search Engine Optimization techniques, you are trying to organically (without paying search engines) improve your website ranking, drive traffic and increase awareness in search engines.
