SEO

SEO (or Search Engine Optimisation) is the process of setting out a website and each of its pages to be as effective as they can possibly be with the search engines. Search engines are asked by their users to return a list of websites which are the closest matches for the search term entered, and successful SEO on websites and individual pages will allow them to stand a better chance of being listed amongst the top search results.

SERPs
