First we need to cover what is SEO. SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization and it’s the process of maximizing the number of visitors to a particular website by ensuring that the site appears high on the list of results returned by a search engine. (referred to as SERP)
Ok so what is a search engine? That is when you go onto Google, Yahoo, Bing and type in anything. You then get back information that was searched for throughout the world wide web.
That then begs the question, how do you ensure your site appears high on the list of results? There are many ways to get your site ranked high, creditable information, relevant blogs, links to authoritative websites, links from other sites to yours, having keywords that relate to the content and several other things that can get your head spinning.
There are two ways you can go about doing this. You can do it yourself through trial and error or you can hire a third party company like, oh let me pick one, UNS Marketing Solutions.
