1. What is SEO and how does it work?

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the practice of increasing the number and quality of visitors to a website by improving its rankings in the organic (free) search engine results.

In order for your website to appear high in search engines like Google, you need to choose the right keywords for your website and create content in key areas so search engines can crawl your website to better understand what the site is about and hopefully list it for your chosen search terms when a user is looking for a service or product you offer online.

3. What is the difference between SEO and SEA?

While SEO helps you increase your rankings in organic results, SEA enables you to get your website to the top of paid results thanks to targeted advertisements. You can easily spot paid results thanks to the “Ad” tag below the title.

SEO and SEA both have their advantages. SEA campaigns are a good way to get a high profile for a new product in a short period of time and SEO helps you build a long-term strategy to stay visible without having to pay for ads long-term.
