SEO for Beginners: Rank #1 In Google Search in 2024

But the first question is:

What is SEO?
It's an acronym for "Search Engine Optimization."
And it's the process of ranking web pages on the first page of Google's organic search results.
This process of SEO has four core pillars of success:

1. KEYWORDS

Keywords are the foundation of every successful SEO campaign. In fact, understanding how to pick the right keywords will make or break your campaign.

I'll show you how to pick the right keywords for your business and your unique situation in the video.

Once you've found keywords, you need to optimize your site's technical performance.

2. TECHNICAL

Please don't fear the word "technical" because it's pretty easy once you understand what to look for. The goal of optimizing technical performance is twofold:

First, we want Google to be able to crawl and index our pages in an efficient manner.

Second, we want our site to have a tremendous User Experience (UX).

I'll show you what to look for and how to optimize both elements in the video.

Once you've found keywords and optimized for UX, it's time for the most important part:

3. CONTENT

Think of content as the lead domino for SEO success. You should invest most of your time in optimizing and creating new SEO-driven content.

Here's the key:

You should always optimize BEFORE you create.

I'll explain why in the video.

And last, but not least:

4. BACKLINKS

You can nail all previous pillars like a pro, but without backlinks, you'll struggle. What are backlinks? They are links from other websites and Google considers them as "votes."

In theory, the more high-quality votes your page has, the more Google will trust it.

What does a high-quality backlink look like? Watch the video to find out :)

[lauraf.e]

Thanks for this video! A while back I started a website, but completely neglected SEO as I spent all my energy on Pinterest! Big mistake. I'm now having to go back through all blog posts and optimise them for SEO. I used to try and target keyw that I realistically had no chance of ranking for (my DA is currently 14). SEO is everything, especially as social media platforms are forever bringing out new algorithms.
