Being ranked higher delivers more visits to your website and in turn can improve the volume of sales you’re achieving. SEO is the practice of understanding how the search ranking algorithm works and how user search behaviour can uncover opportunities. This then develops into optimising your website to make the most of the two and bring more customers to your site.
