Search Engine Optimization Basics
Search engines strive to deliver the most useful information for every query, constantly improving their algorithms in order to meet user expectations.
Search engine optimisation (SEO) is an all-encompassing field, covering various tactics. However, experts agree on some fundamental tenets which make SEO successful.
Keywords
Keywords are search terms users enter into search engines in order to locate content relevant to their query. When used within a website’s content strategy, keywords determine its presence on search engine result pages (SERPs). There are two types of keywords; singular (or “head”) and long-tail. Singular keywords typically have high search volume with fierce competition – making it hard for small businesses to rank for them effectively; long-tail ones have clear intent and can easily be targeted.
