What does SEO mean?

SEO stands for search engine optimization, the practice of improving a website so it ranks higher in organic, unpaid search results for terms people actually search, primarily on Google.

It covers several distinct areas: technical health (can search engines crawl and index the site), content (does it answer what people are searching for), and authority (do other credible sites reference it).

The goal is consistent, free traffic over time, as opposed to paid ads, which stop the moment you stop paying. That long-term compounding effect is what makes SEO worth the sustained effort it requires.

An SEO automation platform handles all three areas, technical, content, and consistency, without a dedicated in-house team.
