When talking to new clients, we sometimes see their eyes glaze over when we mention \u201cGood SEO\u201d. To some people, this three-word phrase Search Engine Optimization (SEO) sounds intimidating \u2013 like something only a computer genius would understand. Let\u2019s break it down.\n<br\/><br\/>\nThe first two words are easy. Search Engine refers simply to Google, Bing or Yahoo. There are a few others out there, but here in the U.S. those are the big three. We can search ANYTHING on them, and they instantly provide us a list of websites that relate to our search. They are exactly as their name implies, engines that search out information for us.\n<br\/><br\/>\nThe third word Optimization refers to the numerous ways we can tweak our website design so those search engines like our website the best. The more they like us the higher they put us on those lists that pop up when people search for things. There are LOTS of ways websites and webpages can be optimized.<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wf-cell shown\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"the7-icon-box-grid\">\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-icon-div\" aria-label=\"How do search engines decide which sites they like best?\">\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fab-google\" viewBox=\"0 0 488 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M488 261.8C488 403.3 391.1 504 248 504 110.8 504 0 393.2 0 256S110.8 8 248 8c66.8 0 123 24.5 166.3 64.9l-67.5 64.9C258.5 52.6 94.3 116.6 94.3 256c0 86.5 69.1 156.6 153.7 156.6 98.2 0 135-70.4 140.8-106.9H248v-85.3h236.1c2.3 12.7 3.9 24.9 3.9 41.4z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"box-heading\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a aria-label=\"How do search engines decide which sites they like best?\">\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHow do search engines decide which sites they like best?\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box-description\">Google and other search engines are continuously crawling our websites with so-called spiders.

We pay attention to the latest information releases from all the search engines and the biggest online visibility platform managers.\n<br \/>\nPart of our job is keeping up with the changing world of SEO as it evolves. The search engines purposely keep good SEO a moving target for two reasons. First, they constantly analyze what users are looking for and respond to. Second, they do not want website developers to find ways to manipulate their rankings by figuring out a few tricks and repeating them over and over.\n<br \/>\nThe search engines are smart, and so are the people that design them. They want to reward websites that have what users are looking for through original content, relevancy, proper structure and organic traffic.
