SEO - Search Engine Optimization

     I wasn’t too sure what SEO meant as I began my research about it, so that we all can be on the same page and understand what it means I am going to give you the definition of what it stand for. SEO stands for “search engine optimization.” SEO is the process of getting traffic from the free, organic, editorial or natural search results onto the search engines. It is also an online marketing for any company that is trying to get recognition to their websites and making their content higher on the search engines. People are more likely to pick the first thing that pops up when they type a certain subject in, so companies try to focus on getting connections with their users, making their website something that is a benefit to their company because people that are interested in their product are noticing and most likely clicking on their website before the click on the competitors website. How SEO works is they pull the title of the website, links that are attached to certain words, title page descriptions and also the reputation that a company has. Search engine optimization is about putting your sites best foot forward so that it is clear and visible in the search engines, but they need to realize that their ultimate consumers are their users, not the search engines.
       “Both Google and Bing have acknowledged that social signals, including link shares and brand mentions on some social network status updates, are currently playing a role in natural SERPs rankings, which means that maintaining a presence on these sites is vitally important for your startup’s SEO.” Make sure to put links to your site all over social media to connect with the social networking to receive more recognition. 
         Some important things to remember when making a website, and having it work best to your advantage by getting it the recognition that you are looking for is first off to create unique, accurate page titles and improve the structure of your URLs making it easier to navigate your webpage. If you are starting up a company and trying to think of how to best begin you website, your marketing goal should be to identify a list of potential keywords to target within the natural search results. These keywords should include phrases that you think your potential customers are going to type into the search engines, make them unique but very applicable to what your site is all about. Think simple and ask others what keywords they would use if they were trying to find information that has to do with your product or site. Search Engine optimization is very beneficial to all those who are looking for recognition and having the highest percent of people clicking on their site because it is easily accessible and simply explains the info of your meta tag description.
