Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the practice of optimizing your website and content to rank higher in search engine results. Unlike paid advertising, SEO is an organic, long-term strategy that builds sustainable traffic.
Why SEO Matters

Credibility: Users trust organic results more than ads
Lower Cost: No per-click fees after initial optimization
Competitive Advantage: Rank above competitors

2. How Search Engines Work
Search engines use complex algorithms to determine which pages best answer a user's query.

Keywords are the foundation of SEO. You need to know what your audience is searching for.
