SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) FAQs 

What is the definition of SEO?

Search Engine Optimisation are the actions to take to help your website, blog or content rank higher in the Google Search Results Page (SERPS)

What does SERPS mean?

SERPS is an abbreviation of Search Engine Results Pages. This is the page of results a search engine (Google, Bing, etc.) creates when you submit a search query. This page will typically contain paid search (PPC) results at the top followed by organic results that are ranked according to relevance to the users search intent, a ranking determined by the search engines algorithm.

What is the difference between SEO and Paid for Advertising?
SEO focusses on Organic Ranking, where your ranking in the search results cannot be influenced by paying the search engines. Users Trust websites that rank in the organic search results, hence you are more likely to convert an organic visitor.
What do we mean by ‘Organic’ ranking?
These are the non-paid for search results that you find in SERPS, after the paid for search results. Ranking in the organic search results cannot be influenced by paying the search engines.
Why does SEO matter to my business?
SEO offers a way to get more traffic to your website, without having to pay for each ‘click’ or each visitor. Plus these ‘organic’ visitors are higher quality as your page will be a closer match to their query, hence users trust the organic search results more. This matters because organic visitors spend more time on your web site, your bounce rate will be lower, and have a higher conversion rate.
What is on-page SEO?
Also known as on-site SEO, refers to the actions of optimising elements of your webpages (websites) in order to rank higher on SERPS. For example, relevant content, unique content, tags, titles and headings, image optimisation.
What is Technical SEO?
Technical SEO is part of on-page SEO, technical SEO refers to the actions of making the technical elements of your website easier for search engines to find, crawl and index. For example, site loading speed, site/data structure, security, mobile device friendliness.
What is off-page SEO?
Also known as off-site SEO, refers to the actions taken away from your website in order to rank higher on SERPS. The biggest difference isn’t where you’re actions take place, rather the tools and tactics you will need to use. For example link building, social media and business listings such as Google my Business.
What is Link Building?
Link Building refers to the actions taken to encourage and acquire links to your website from other high-quality websites. In SEO we call these backlinks. This matters because search engines see quality backlinks as endorsements, votes of confidence, for your website.
