What is SEO
Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) - or the US spelling of Search Engine Optimization - is the process of improving the visibility of a website or a web-page in a search engine’s organic, unpaid Search Engine Results Pages (SERPS). The greater the visibility of a website/web-page and the better it ranks for relevant keywords the more likely it is to receive hits from users interested in its particular subject matter.
The better your website content is, the more successful your website will be!
