How SEO Works?
There are literally hundreds maybe even thousands of things you could do to optimize your website to get ranked. but here are some of the most basic concepts of how SEO works:
1- Website Content: One of the most important tactics to SEO is the content on your website. Are you adding new content regularly? Is the content relevant? Do you have keywords on your website that help search engines know who you are?
2- Links On You Website: Another Important tactic to SEO is how many links do you have on your website that link to other websites related to what you do? This can also be internal links on the website that link to other pages of your site. It is important to create a spider web of links. Search engines love the more connections you have.
3- Mobile Friendly Website - You must have a mobile friendly website in today's world. 53% of online searches happen on mobile devices, that's alot of searches. If you're not using a mobile friendly website, it will be very difficult to get people to see your site. Also it will be difficult for people to use your site once they are there!
4- Back Links: Back links are when a 3rd party website links back to your site. This shows the search engines that your site is relevant and most likely not a scam. Search engines love these links and they help grow your spider web of links and content surrounding your website.
