What is Search Engine Optimisation (SEO)
SEO stands for Search Engine Optimisation (SEO), this is the name given to any activity that helps your website rank higher in search engines. In practical terms, what this means is that a website that has good SEO will appear higher than a website with poor or no SEO. Therefore when someone types in a search for your product or service in Google (or another search engine) your website will or won't appear. When we search for products most of us just look at the top of page 1 search results, the companies that appear on page 2, 3 or lower often don't get a look in.
All our websites have the tools and training embedded in them so that you can do a lot of the SEO yourself. Alternatively we can take care of it for you.
