SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMISATION (S.E.O) is the process of refining your website so that it will be indexed and ranked by search engines; it is also the process of leveraging your links from other sites.

S.E.O helps search engines understand what you do, outbid/outperform your competitors for the words you want to be found for, and align with your customer’s search and needs.
