A glossary for search and local marketing

SEO (search engine optimisation)

SEO is the work of helping people discover and use your website through search engines. It includes making pages accessible, explaining your services clearly and answering the questions potential customers actually ask.

In plain terms

It includes editorial choices and technical access. A page can be readable to a crawler and still fail to answer a visitor’s question. AEO concentrates on making answers easy to find and quote. SEO also includes technical access and the wider work of helping pages appear in ordinary search results.

How to check it

Name the page, the query or audience and the problem you observed. Then separate access checks from content review. Compare the result after a sensible interval using the same source and scope. A changed title or a successful crawl does not by itself prove that the page satisfies a visitor.
