What Is Search Engine Optimization?
Search Engine Optimization, also known as SEO is a process of improving the quality and quantity of a website using organic techniques to redirect website traffic to the website from search engines.
How cool is it, if you can find a mechanism that optimizes results for you, without you having to do the “simple”: but ”not so simple” math?
Search engine optimization expert. Short for SEO experts; works to do the same.
Out of 1.18 billion websites in the world, only 17% of websites are active, and the other 83% inactive. With these statistics, it is just not anyone’s cup of tea to rank each website by indexing them, 1 by 1, in any traditional manner, for it to be optimized for the best to match the results you were expecting.
Google does it like any other search engine by applying SEO. Shuffling the deck of cards is easier, but to index and group them takes a while. Not for search engines. Out of billions of websites present online, search engines have a language of their own to rank the best on top of the SERPs. A language with its own set of rules is called grouping and “search engine optimization”.

Organic and Local SEO services are the 2 branches that opted out of Search Engine Marketing and ruled the digital market for a very long time.
Just as an Organic SEO is known for its unpaid form of advertising, local SEO is known to drive more traffic to your site. But, only to the businesses with a physical location, local to its business.

It is also much safer to acknowledge that almost every channel of 12 channels believes in its combination with SEO services to remarkably progress and advance in a business, than the other way around.
- SEM – There was a time when SEO was a branch of SEM. Over time, SEO grew and became an individual field in marketing. SEO and SEM are co-dependent to maximize the benefits of marketing and ranking your site on the top.

- Social Media Marketing – With SEO, a brand makes most of its online presence and becomes renowned in the online world.
