Search Engine Optimization
Search Engine Optimization is the process of improving a website's ability to be indexed by search engines for the terms you want to be associated with your website to be displayed when people search for these terms. The key is to understand what the search engines look for and index websites. Couple this with an understanding of how people search for products/services/solutions. The tactics are simple; getting it right is more complicated. I created a whole service line called Waymakerseo.com. Check out WaymakerSEO for more info.
