What is search engine optimization?

SEO is the practice of improving a website's visibility in organic (unpaid) search results on Google, Bing and increasingly in AI assistants. It includes technical optimization, on-page content, local signals such as Google Business Profile, and off-page authority through backlinks and brand mentions.
