About SEO

Your website and its content could be top-notch, but no one other than your friends and your mom will see it if you don’t make WordPress SEO adjustments.

According to Moz, Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is “the practice of increasing both the quality and quantity of website traffic, as well as exposure to your brand, through non-paid (also known as "organic") search engine results.”

The WordPress core is built with SEO in mind, but it can’t automagically enhance your pages, posts, and content. It sets the foundation, but you need to work on improving SEO from there.

Fortunately, there are so many ways you can improve Google search results for your WordPress site.
