What is SEO?
SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) is the process of improving your website so it appears higher in Google search results for keywords your potential customers are searching for. Higher rankings = more visitors = more business.
Step 1: Keyword Research
Start by identifying what your potential customers are searching for. Free tools like Google Search Console, Ubersuggest, and Google's own autocomplete feature reveal what questions and phrases real people are typing into Google.
Step 2: Optimise Your Pages
Each page on your website should target a specific keyword. Include it in your page title, the first paragraph, headings, and image alt text. But write for humans first — stuffing keywords makes content unreadable and Google penalises it.
Step 3: Technical SEO
Google can only rank pages it can find and load quickly. Ensure your site loads in under 3 seconds, works perfectly on mobile, uses HTTPS, and has no broken links. A sitemap.xml file helps Google discover all your pages.
Step 4: Build Local Presence
For local businesses, Google Business Profile is essential. Ensure your listing is complete, accurate, and has genuine reviews. Local citations (your business name, address, and phone number on directories) reinforce local relevance.
Step 5: Create Useful Content
Regularly publishing helpful content — blog posts, guides, FAQs — signals to Google that your site is active and authoritative. Answer the questions your customers ask most often.
