Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
Search engine optimization (SEO) is a set of techniques and strategies used to “maximize a website’s potential for ranking highly in the page results from a web search.” Every organization, no matter the industry, should aim at appearing higher on the search engine results pages (SERPs).
