KEY TAKEAWAYS

💡 Importance of Keyword Research: Before creating content, it's crucial to conduct keyword research to identify which terms will drive the most traffic. Small changes in keywords can significantly impact search volume and visibility.

💡 Backlinks are Essential: Building quality backlinks is vital for SEO success. In fact, Google uses backlinks as a trust signal, and without them, a website is unlikely to rank well. Quality is more important than quantity when it comes to backlinks.

💡 SEO Takes Time: SEO is a long-term strategy that requires patience. Results may take several months to materialise, especially for new websites or those without existing backlinks. For this reason, consistency and ongoing effort are key to achieving and maintaining good rankings.

💡 Holistic Approach to SEO: Effective SEO involves optimising not just the website but also other platforms like YouTube and social media. Additionally, a comprehensive strategy aims to secure multiple listings on the first page of search results to increase visibility.

💡 Focus on Conversion: While increasing traffic is essential, the ultimate goal is to convert that traffic into leads or sales. Therefore, a well-optimized website should have clear calls to action and trust signals to encourage visitors to take the next step.
