class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Search Engine Optimization is the practice of optimizing your web pages to increase your website\u2019s visibility <strong>organically <\/strong>in the search engine result pages (SERPs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let me put it this way, with paid advertising you are paying search engines just like Google to show your website on the search result bar, and we both know that usually, no one clicks on the ads on top, they scroll down to the first organic link.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With SEO you are optimizing your website, so it organically shows up on the first page, thus bringing more organic traffic and resulting in more conversions, because people are more inclined to buy something that they searched for themselves. <strong>#pshycology<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Importance_of_SEO\"><\/span><strong>Importance of SEO<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"SEO_generates_more_traffic\"><\/span>SEO generates more traffic<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Organic traffic to be more specific, and that is the best kind of website traffic because you don\u2019t have to spend money to get visitors they just come by themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some analytics:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.hubspot.com\/insiders\/inbound-marketing-stats\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">75% of searchers click only on the result from the first page<\/a>, and even on the first page, there are interest spots, the closer you are to the top the more traffic you get.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sistrix.com\/ask-sistrix\/data-studies\/these-are-the-ctrs-for-various-types-of-google-search-result\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The top result has a click-through rate (CTR) of 28.5%<\/a>, going down significantly by the link as you can see in the graph below. If you are not on top you won\u2019t get as much traffic, leads, sales, and in turn revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" data-attachment-id=\"2636\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.virtono.com\/community\/tutorial-how-to\/seo-yes-please-learn-the-fundamentals-now%ef%bf%bc\/attachment\/3-32\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.virtono.com\/community\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/3.png?fit=2240%2C1260&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"2240,1260\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"3\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.virtono.com\/community\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/3.png?fit=750%2C422&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.virtono.com\/community\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/3.png?resize=750%2C422&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2636\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.virtono.com\/community\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/3.png?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.virtono.com\/community\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/3.png?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.virtono.com\/community\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/3.png?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.virtono.com\/community\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/3.png?resize=1536%2C864&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.virtono.com\/community\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/3.png?resize=2048%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"SEO_traffic_stays_consistent\"><\/span>SEO traffic stays consistent<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you are paying for ads your traffic fluctuates a lot, but when you are ranking well on SERPs your traffic grows at a constant rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you know how many searches Google receives a day? <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.hubspot.com\/marketing\/google-search-statistics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">5.6 billion<\/a>. People are always searching for things, so it may seem complicated at the start but it\u2019s well worth the effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"SEO_improves_user_experience\"><\/span>SEO improves user experience<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I heard that in the early days SEO was simple, you would stuff many keywords into your website and by magic, your content would appear on the top of the page. Think about how annoying it was to read an article with keywords repeated in almost every sentence?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You know SEO is good for your website because SEO helps your online business reach the top of the page, without SEO your blog wouldn\u2019t get as much traffic as it should, so learn SEO and become a true online entrepreneur. SEO is your way to success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not really a good experience, is it? Thankfully, with multiple Google updates later, ranking now takes more than just keywords.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Good user experience is synonymous with good SEO practices, in 2021, Google introduced the Page Experience algorithm update, this update incentivizes websites to actively look at and improve their user experience. What I am trying to say is that you won\u2019t rank high if you are not offering a proper user experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"SEO_high_ROI\"><\/span>SEO = high ROI<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember what I said about psychology, well it is true, people often tend to take more action when they come to a conclusion themselves. SEO nails that factor down, you can market something to a group of people and get a return of let\u2019s say 5% but when the same people search for something on their own, you will see a return of more than 10%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some statistics:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With SEO your blog business value increases by 429%;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Customer acquisition costs go down by 89%;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For every $1 spent on marketing, you are looking at a $12 revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/terakeet.com\/blog\/seo-statistics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Terakeet<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>What is there not to like?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_exactly_search_engines_work\"><\/span><strong>How do exactly search engines work?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s crucial to understand how search engines work if you want to understand SEO because only by understanding all the aspects you will be able to determine which part of your website needs to be optimized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s take Google as an example, before Google can serve your website to its users, there are 3 important steps that it needs to take: Crawling, indexing, and ranking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Crawling\"><\/span>Crawling<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Google sends an army of tiny robots (also known as spiders or crawlers) to follow hyperlinks on the web and discover new content.

Then they report it all back to Google.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Imagine an ant colony with Google as the Queen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Indexing\"><\/span>Indexing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If crawlers find unique content, they bring it back to their huge database of discovered URLs, a.k.a \u201csearch index\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ranking\"><\/span>Ranking<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Once everything is set up and collected the ranking process begins, for each search query, Google has to try and organize the results from most relevant to the least relevant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Basically, if you want to show up on the first page you need to provide relevant answers to what people might search for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Quite a big operation, for such tiny robots.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_get_your_website_on_Google\"><\/span><strong>How to get your website on Google<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We are working towards bringing the website up the ranks, but if Google doesn\u2019t know that you exist then this work is for nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Google will automatically add your website to its search index, but it tends to take some time, a few days or even weeks. If you want to speed up the process you can manually submit your website, you can even request Google to crawl and index individual pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are 2 steps involved in this process:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, you need to find your website\u2019s XML sitemap, which is a file that lists all the important pages on your website. It shows Google where to find and crawl all those pages. Usually, you can find your XML sitemap by typing the URLs \u201cgreatwebsite.com<strong>\/sitemap.xml<\/strong>\u201d or \u201cgreatwebsite.com<strong>\/sitemap_index.xml<\/strong>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Secondly, you will need to submit the sitemap to Google Search Console, this console is an SEO tool that helps you measure your website\u2019s search performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"First_SEO_lesson_content_is_king\"><\/span><strong>First SEO lesson: content is king!<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You need to create high-quality content that people want to read if you plan on being on top of the page, this is the real secret.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Google tends to take into consideration a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/backlinko.com\/google-ranking-factors\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ranking factors<\/a>, but to be real you could have the fastest website and the best structure, if people don\u2019t find what they are looking for and then it\u2019s all in vain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you manage to provide people with useful information, they are more inclined to stay more on your website, revisit, and even buy something from you. These signs let Google know that people find your website useful, and Google will rank it higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_create_more_content\"><\/span><strong>How to create more content?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The answer tends to be far simpler than you may think, blogging is the way to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides being a great content provider and an awesome SEO tool, it\u2019s an excellent way to show your expertise on something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bonus secret: the more content you have on a topic, the more Google will regard you as an expert, which is extremely helpful when it comes to your SEO efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Write articles that help people solve their problems!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Usually, people tend to overlook articles that sound and feel like forced marketing efforts, so I would advise that you leave the self-written reviews about how great your new garden hose is, instead write about why people should water their garden in the summer, write about the increased growth efficiency when watering your plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See, the idea is to let people know what should they do and then offer a means of doing said thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are looking for more content ideas, we have an <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.virtono.com\/community\/knowledgebase\/how-to-come-up-with-blog-content-ideas-read-our-list-and-choose-a-subject%ef%bf%bc\/\">article with over 120 trending content ideas just for you!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In essence, try to be genuine and helpful!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Keyword_research\"><\/span><strong>Keyword research<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After you decided on your topic, went through the brainstorming process, and consulted our list above, you should sit back and do some keyword research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Basically, you should get into the mind of your target audience, what would they search to get to your blog or website?
