What is Search Engine Optimization?

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is an interactive marketing method of increasing traffic to a website using keywords and keyword phrases that describe that company’s product or service. There are two types of search engine placement services: paid and organic. After someone hits search in a search engine, that particular search engine ‘crawls’ through websites in a matter of seconds, figuring out which pages are most relevant to that search query. For example, when someone types in ‘auto mechanic Orange County’, any sites optimized with any or all of those keywords will appear in the search results. To create organic search results, SEO is proven to increase rankings, but at a slower pace than paid search options such as Pay Per Click Advertising.
