1.2.1 Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Basics:

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the practice of improving a website’s


visibility in search engine results pages (SERPs) to attract more organic
(non-paid) traffic. Here are the basics of SEO:

1. Understanding How Search Engines Work


Crawling

 Search engines use bots (also known as spiders or crawlers) to


discover and scan web pages.
 Crawlers follow links from one page to another, collecting data
about the content and structure of each page.

Indexing

 After crawling, search engines store the information in an index, a


massive database of all the web pages they have discovered.
 Indexing ensures that web pages can be retrieved quickly when a
user performs a search.

Ranking

 Search engines rank indexed pages based on relevance and quality


in response to a user's query.
 Algorithms consider numerous factors to determine rankings,
including content relevance, user experience, and authority.

2. Keyword Research
Definition

 Keyword research involves identifying the words and phrases that


people use to search for information related to your business.

Tools

 Google Keyword Planner: Offers insights into keyword search


volume and competition.
 Ahrefs: Provides keyword ideas, search volume, and difficulty
scores.
 SEMrush: Analyzes competitors’ keywords and identifies
opportunities.

Tactics

 Brainstorming: Start with a list of relevant topics related to your


business.
 Competitor Analysis: Identify which keywords competitors rank
for.
 Long-Tail Keywords: Focus on longer, more specific phrases that
are less competitive but highly relevant.

3. On-Page SEO
Title Tags

 The title tag is the main text that describes an online document.
 It should be concise, include the target keyword, and be compelling
to encourage clicks.

Meta Descriptions

 A brief summary of a webpage that appears under the title tag in


SERPs.
 It should be descriptive, include the target keyword, and encourage
users to click.

Headings (H1, H2, H3, etc.)

 Use headings to structure content and make it easier to read.


 The H1 tag should include the main keyword and accurately
describe the content of the page.

URL Structure

 Keep URLs short, descriptive, and include the target keyword.


 Use hyphens to separate words for better readability.

Content Optimization

 Create high-quality, valuable content that answers users’ queries.


 Naturally incorporate keywords into the content without keyword
stuffing.
 Use images, videos, and infographics to enhance the content.

Internal Linking
 Link to other relevant pages within your website to improve
navigation and distribute link equity.

4. Off-Page SEO
Backlinks

 Backlinks are links from other websites to your site, signaling


authority and relevance to search engines.
 Focus on acquiring high-quality backlinks from reputable sites.

Social Signals

 Engagement on social media platforms (likes, shares, comments)


can indirectly influence SEO by driving traffic and increasing
visibility.

Guest Blogging

 Writing articles for other websites to build backlinks and reach a


wider audience.

5. Technical SEO
Site Speed

 Ensure your website loads quickly to improve user experience and


search engine rankings.
 Use tools like Google PageSpeed Insights to analyze and optimize
site speed.

Mobile-Friendliness

 Ensure your website is mobile-friendly as search engines prioritize


mobile-first indexing.
 Use responsive design to provide a good user experience on all
devices.

XML Sitemap

 Create an XML sitemap to help search engines understand the


structure of your website and index it more efficiently.

Robots.txt

 Use the robots.txt file to guide search engine crawlers on which


pages to crawl and index.
6. Local SEO
Google My Business

 Claim and optimize your Google My Business listing to improve


visibility in local search results.

Local Citations

 Ensure your business information (name, address, phone number) is


consistent across all online directories and platforms.

Customer Reviews

 Encourage satisfied customers to leave positive reviews on Google


and other review platforms.

7. Measuring and Analyzing SEO Performance


Google Analytics

 Track website traffic, user behavior, and conversion rates.


 Identify which keywords and pages drive the most traffic and
conversions.

Google Search Console

 Monitor your website’s presence in Google search results.


 Identify and fix issues like indexing errors, mobile usability
problems, and security issues.

SEO Tools

analyze backlinks, and conduct site audits.
