“Do You Know Why Some Websites Shine Brighter Than Others? It’s " SEO”

What is SEO?

SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is the process of improving a website or web page so that it ranks higher on search engines like Google, Bing, or Yahoo — helping more people find it organically (without paid ads).

Simple Words To Understand :

  • SEO helps your content appear at the top when someone searches for related topics online.

  • So now you have some idea about what is Search engine Optimization.

How Does SEO Work?
Eg:

Imagine the internet as a huge library and Google as the librarian.
Now when someone asks:

“What is LGBTQ ?”
Then Google (the librarian) looks through millions of pages to find the most relevant, helpful, and trusted one — and shows that on Page 1.

SEO is the method that helps your page be one of those top results.

SEO Works in 3 Main Steps:

1. Crawling :

They collect content from every website to understand what it's about

2. Indexing :

It organizes it based on topics, keywords, relevance, and structure

3. Ranking :

When a user searches, Google finds the most relevant results from its index and ranks them

Ranking depends on many signals like:

     -> Keywords used

     -> Page quality and structure

     -> Website speed

     -> Mobile-friendliness

    -> Backlinks (other sites linking to yours)
