SEO basics

White hat SEO

Website improvement practices that respect search policies and real user needs.

A practical example

A company publishes verified answers and makes navigation easier.

What should I know?

Following policies does not guarantee a specific ranking.

SEO basics in practice

First define the customer's need and the page's purpose. Then check whether the website is accessible, understandable, and useful. Assess results within a defined scope rather than treating one ranking as a picture of the whole business.
