SEO basics: how to get found on Google

SEO basics: how to get found on Google

Having a beautiful website doesn’t help much if no one finds it. That’s where SEO comes in: the set of things that help Google show your site when someone searches for what you offer. It’s not magic or tricks — it’s fundamentals. These are the ones that move the needle most.

1. Give every page a clear purpose

Google rewards pages that answer a specific search well. A clear title, useful content and a single main idea per page are worth more than a thousand words of filler.

2. Speed and mobile

A slow site, or one that looks bad on a phone, loses rankings. Google looks at the real user experience — and today most people find you from their phone.

3. Be linkable and understandable

Clean URLs, descriptive image text and a tidy structure help Google understand what your site is about — and help other sites link to you.

The bottom line

The best SEO is building a genuinely useful, fast website. Shortcuts go out of style; being clear and serving the searcher doesn’t.
