The practice of SEO is a culmination of marketing tactics focused on growing visibility (signal strength) to your website in the organic (non-paid) section of Google's search results. It encompasses both the technical and creative elements required to improve rankings, drive traffic, and increase awareness in search engines while attracting the most qualified consumers to your website. There are many aspects to website SEO, from the words on your page to the way other sites link to you on the website to the overall website structure- content and design.
Here's how it works: Google (or any search engine you're using) has a crawler that goes out 24/7 and gathers information about all the content they can find on the internet, like your website. The crawlers bring all the information that it gathers, back to the search engine to build an index. That index is then fed through an algorithm that tries to match all that data with someone's search query, as accurately and as fast as possible.
Your customers are already out there roaming the web looking to spend money. The trick is to have them find you while they are in that mindset. That's where keywords come in. Keywords are words or phrases that help determine the right signal frequency (match) between the searcher and the business's website. Building a solid keyword list helps you reach only the most interested people, who are more likely to become your customers.
Search engine algorithms change frequently and SEO tactics must evolve in response to those changes. Remember, SEO is helping to build awareness (visibility) to your website pre-dominantly.
When conducting a search for your own business, understand that Google uses your devices IP address to know your geographical location to help best serve your search results. Clearly, it will steer you, and others in your proximity, closer to your business more than someone 100+ miles away. It's important to understand this to help manage your expectations and any false positives that could occur.
When committing to certain keywords and phrases, this would be the most practical items to search for before, during and after the SEO process since these were the pre-determined choices for your strategy. If you sell sporting goods and you search for car washes in your area, do not be surprised if your business does not appear. But, if you sell sporting goods and you search for basketballs, this is more relevant and you should expect to be found in searches like this. The point, don't go too broad with your search unless it was understood prior.
Life will be much easier if everyone has a full understanding of the search terms that were initially agreed upon.
