SEO stands for search engine optimisation. This is the process of refining your website so that it is the most appealing to Google and other search engines. This process involves curating content and pages for user experience and sending all of the right quality signals to the Google crawler. It also involves creating a sensible internal linking structure so that the Google crawler (and users) can navigate the site and figure out what content is important and what content isn’t.
