Search Engine Optimization
Let’s start with the best and most inexpensive aspect of digital marketing. Search Engine Optimization is a method of ensuring that your website and its blogs appear on the search lists and possibly on the top of them. Now, this is done by strategically using keywords and complying with the algorithms of the search engines. Keywords are words or sentences that are most searched by the users on the search engine. The more keywords your content has, the more chances it has of appearing on the search list. This process of appearing on the top of the search list is called Ranking.
The best way to rank your content is by writing the most relevant content with the information. After posting the content, the search engines go through your content.
