Search engine optimisation (SEO)

Search engine optimisation is the process of improving how search engines index and rank your website. Improving SEO means you increase the chance of being found in a search engine for the topic that’s relevant to you. Six ways to improve your SEO.

As a business owner your website needs to be as findable as possible to appear in search results. That’s where I can help. It does take time, and I don’t guarantee a #1 ranking on Google (nobody should!).

I stick to Google approved methods to improve the visibility of your website, and I typically undertake a free check beforehand to ensure there are improvements to be made.

The way people search for stuff is changing. Depending upon the demographic, people will use laptops, tablets, mobile devices or voice to find the stuff they want or need.

What this means is, the search engine optimisation on your website needs to make you as findable as possible regardless of the search method.
