SEO stands for “search engine optimization”. Simply put, SEO is the process of improving your website to increase its visibility on Google, Microsoft Bing, and other search engines when people search for:

• Products you sell.
• Services You Provide.
• Information on subjects in which you have in-depth knowledge and/or experience.

The more visible your pages are in search results, the more likely it is that you will be found and clicked on. Ultimately, search engine optimization aims to attract visitors to your website that convert into customers or create an audience that keeps coming back.
