๐ How does SEO actually work?
SEO can sometimes feel complicated, but the basic process is easier to understand when you break it down.
It starts with creating useful, relevant content that answers what your potential customers are searching for. Search engines then:
๐ Discover your content โ Quality, relevant content gives search engines something valuable to understand and show to users.
๐ท๏ธ Crawl your website โ Search engine bots explore your pages, links and content to understand your website.
๐ Index your pages โ The information gathered is added to the search engineโs index and associated with relevant searches.
๐ Rank your content โ Search algorithms assess many different signals to determine where your pages should appear in the search results.
Good SEO isn't about simply adding a few keywords. It's about creating a website that's useful, relevant, technically sound and easy for both people and search engines to understand.
