Search Engine Optimization is a term which has grown over the last few years to encompass a wide range of strategies and actions to attract quality traffic to your website. In the early days of the Internet, it meant making changes to your website to ensure that the search engines could
a) Find your website and
b) Rank it appropriately in their indexes.
Ranking was done according to a complex algorithm based on keywords, META tags, page content and certain aspects of the HTML code behind your site.
These days, SEO or search engine marketing includes a far more expansive group of potential actions to reach your target audience.
1. On-page optimization – This involves making changes to the content and code behind the site to suit the main SEO factors. Common ways to do this are:
- inclusion of keywords in specific places on the page or website
- developing themed sites
- working with the internal link structure of the website to give certain pages and links added value in the eyes of the search engines
- creating content which gives weight to certain keywords and phrases
- using headlines, bold text, underlined or italicized text and optimized copy
2. Off-page optimization – These actions can include
- link building with other sites (often known as 'back links’)WSI Northern California has SEO specialists who will work with you to devise and set up an effective SEO campaign for your business.
