It’s about 91 percent of users use search engines to find information on the web. And 75 percent of them never look further than the first page. If your website is not on the first or second page of results (preferably page one), most likely your prospect clients will not find you. In that case, your website needs to be optimized immediately.

SEO stands for the process of “search engine optimization”. The purpose of SEO is to help search engines find, index, and rank your site.
Some good practices for SEO
