General Questions

What is SEO?
SEO stands for Search Engine Optimisation. It’s the process of boosting your website’s visibility in search results. The goal is to get more organic (unpaid) traffic. This happens by improving your content, site structure, and technical setup. SEO helps your business reach people already searching for what you offer.
Ranking a site takes time. You’ll usually see results in three to six months. This depends on your industry, your competition, and your site’s current condition. SEO takes ongoing work, but it pays off in the long run.
SEO helps people find your site when they search online. It brings in targeted traffic and improves your chances of getting leads or sales. It also builds trust since users prefer top-ranking sites. With SEO, you get long-lasting, trackable results that help your business grow online.
SEO earns traffic naturally by improving your website. PPC (Pay-Per-Click) pays for ads to show up in search results. SEO gives long-term value. PPC works fast but needs a steady budget. Both are useful, but SEO builds strength over time.
An SEO agency helps your site rank better on Google. They do research, audit your site, find top keywords, and improve your content and structure. They also build trusted links and track progress. Their goal is to drive more traffic and turn visitors into customers.
