What is SEO & How it Works
SEO is an acronym for Search Engine Optimization and is the process of optimizing a website to get first page and top rankings in the search engine result pages for targeted keywords on the first page of search engines like Google, Bing, and Yahoo.
Targeted keywords are simply the words that someone might enter into a search engine when they are looking for a local business. For example, one might enter “SEO services in Reno” or “Reno SEO Company” when looking to hire an SEO Company. That would be our target keywords on our Acute SEO website.

However, the following factors will always apply On-page website optimization (relevant keywords, titles, and internal linking), Off-page optimization (backlinks, contextual anchor text, business citations), and Social Signals (creating social media buzz).

On-Page SEO refers to the various elements on the webpage including the inclusion of keywords in the content up to a certain density, title tags, meta tags, image optimization, outbound links, internal links, and various other factors.
Off-Page SEO mainly deals with obtaining backlinks from other authoritative domains in a similar category. Also, they can include setting up Blogs, Social Profiles, and Online Citations and Directories.
Technical SEO refers to making sure that all the pages are indexed in the search engines properly by submitting sitemaps. This also deals with webpage speed optimization as well as making sure the website is always accessible and there are no vulnerabilities.
Mobile SEO ensures that your website ranks high in the search engine result pages on mobile devices. This can include making sure that websites are mobile-friendly or mobile responsive.

So ranking a website to address Google’s more recent mobile search engine has become extremely important for local businesses.

Google makes over 500 changes to its algorithms each year in addition to the major algorithmic updates which means the factors that account for ranking in the search engines always keep changing.
