SEO — or Search Engine Optimisation if you want to impress at a dinner party — is how websites earn their spot in Google's "who's who." Think of Google as the world's busiest librarian. Millions of people ask her questions every second, and she decides whose book (website) to pull from the shelf.
With the right strategy, your business can become her favourite recommendation. Let's break it down:
- Organic SEO means growing your visibility naturally, without paying for ads. (Yes, it's like getting fit by jogging, rather than buying a fancy treadmill you never use.)
- Local SEO means making sure you're found when nearby customers search for businesses like yours in Poole, Bournemouth, or across Dorset.
- SEO for businesses isn't just about keywords; it's about building credibility, trust, and relevance online.
