Search Engine Optimisation

How do search engines work?

Search engines work through three primary functions:

  1. Crawling: Scour the Internet for content, looking over the code/content for each URL they find.
  2. Indexing: Store and organize the content found during the crawling process. Once a page is in the index, it’s in the running to be displayed as a result to relevant queries.
  3. Ranking: Provide the pieces of content that will best answer a searcher’s query, which means that results are ordered by most relevant to least relevant.

With SEO, it’s important to understand what your expectations are and what type of budget you have in mind when speaking to an SEO expert or agency.

There are on-site and off-site methods to improve SEO

On-site SEO includes :

  • Using keywords are important
  • Writing unique content
  • Optimising tags on each page
  • Optimising website load speed

Offsite SEO are more related to back linking- having other sites link back to yours, indicating that you are an authority in your industry.

Together on-site and off-site can really make a big difference in where your website ends up on search engines like Bing, Yahoo or Google.

The following companies/ websites DO NOT require search engine optimisation.

– Your company has a monopoly. You are the only supplier and every body knows how to find you online.

– You get thousands of searches per day on your website without any marketing effort.

– You dominate the industry and your company name or product is the synonymous with a product or service. For example: a popular household bleach in South Africa is called “Jik” which is also the same name people use when referring to any other brand of household bleach. 

– You do not want to be found by new leads or customers.

For everyone else, SEO critical to being found online and generating more leads and sales.
