Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is all about helping your site to rank well in the major search engines.
Recent research suggests that over 70% of searchers will select a web site that appears on the first page of results and 92% in the first 3 pages. So when a potential customer types in your product or service ( i.e. “web design Melbourne”) you’d like to be one of the first results they see.
Even large corporations make the mistake of building a web site and expect it to rank the next day at number one for their chosen keywords. It doesn’t work like that and interestingly the internet is a very level playing field where big corporations rank alongside and oftentimes behind, sole operators...it’s all in the optimisation. It actually takes time for a new site to rank highly and Google not only looks at the keywords and website structure but also takes into account the websites relevant content and the existence of quality links.
