Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is a tricky beast to master, even in writing this blog post we’re constantly considering what words to use to boost our own Google ranking for when business owners are searching for ways to improve their own SEO.
Google’s (and other, lesser-used search engine’s) algorithm that determines what results will show for a given web search is constantly changing and many of the specifics of that algorithm are closely held trade secrets.
Modern SEO is built upon decades of learning and iterative advancements in serving the optimal result for any given user search.
Throw in Google’s new focus on prioritizing paid advertising over organic results, it gets even trickier to figure out what works best.
