Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the visibility of your website in a search engine's "organic" or unpaid search results.

When to Use SEO:

  • Rank higher than your competitors on search engine results pages

  • Increase the number of qualified leads for your business

General SEO Tips:

There are three key factors to how well your site ranks on search engines: technical structure, on-page optimization, and off-site factors.
Technical structure and on-page optimization each account for about 20% of your success; offsite factors account for about 60%.
