SEO Adelaide
Search Engine Optimisation or ‘SEO’ is activity to show your website in search results. There is a perception that SEO is deeply complex. That’s not true. In concept, SEO is quite simple:
1. Google Rules
Google is the dominant search engine, so SEO is really just about making Google ‘happy’ with your website.
2. What does Google want?
Good quality content that visitors find engaging. Google doesn’t like technical defects or slow websites, and definitely not websites that try to cheat. Generally a healthy website will improve in rank and number of searches. A poor or ‘penalised’ site will stagnate or even decrease its exposure.
