Why Is SEO Important?

How Do Search Engines Work? 

  • Search Index: a digital library holding information about web pages. 
  • Search Algorithms: a step-by-step process to find specific data based on search queries that match and rank results from the index. 
  • Crawling: Web spiders or crawlers (bots) browse the internet, following links from one web page to the other. They find updated and new content across billions of web pages.
  • Indexing: After a page is crawled, the content is assessed and stored in the index of search engines. This index contains a large database of data about all the pages discovered by the search engines
  • Ranking: When a user searches for phrases in search engines, they find the relevant searches from their index and rank them based on a few factors. These factors include authority and quality of content, metrics of user experience, and the relevance of the page in terms of the search query.

Key Components Of SEO 

(i) Keyword Research

(ii) On-Page SEO 

  • Title Tags: The main heading of a web page must include the targeted, relevant keywords.
  • Meta Descriptions: these are brief summaries of your page’s content and must be keyword-rich and compelling. 
  • Header Tags (H1, H2, H3): These header tags provide a logical structure to your content. 
  • Content Optimization: You must include well-researched, informative, and high-quality content that includes the relevant keywords.

(iii) Off-Page SEO 

  • Backlinks: Getting high-quality backlinks from credible and authoritative websites in your industry is vital to showcase the high quality and credibility of your content. 
  • Social Signals: Your SEO also entails using social media engagement to influence your site’s credibility and visibility.

(iv) Technical SEO 

  • Site Speed: Users prefer fast page loading speeds and often leave pages with slow loading speeds. This leads to high bounce rates. Hence, fast-loading pages are vital to promoting a positive user experience and ranking high in search engines. 
  • Mobile-Friendliness: With the world conducting most of their searches on mobile devices, your website should be mobile-friendly with optimized images, appropriate screen fittings, and others. 
  • XML Sitemaps: An XML sitemap aids search engines in finding and indexing your web pages easily and effectively.
