We’ve all heard the term. “Just do SEO,” they say. But what does that actually mean? If you’re a business owner who wants real results without the tech jargon, this is for you.
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) isn’t magic. It’s strategy.
What SEO Means in Plain English
SEO is how you help Google understand your website so it can show it to the people who are searching for what you offer. That’s it. No wizard hats required.
It’s about making your website more findable, relevant, and credible in the eyes of search engines.
And why does this matter?
- 93% of online experiences start with a search engine
- The first 5 results on Google get over 67% of all clicks
If you’re not there, your competitors are.
