The Basics of Search Engine Optimization for Dummies
If SEO still feels like Greek to you, here are some simple explanations for your limited brainpower:
Keywords
This is the essential initial phase to properly rank a site and kickstart your Search Engine Optimization. We work with you to identify relevant and impactful keywords for your business. We analyze your competitors’ sites, your Google Search Console, and use professional software like SemRush and Ahrefs to uncover long-tail keywords and queries you might never have considered!
SEO-Optimized Content
Semantically optimized texts are your best ally in the SEO battle. We craft content for our clients that’s fine-tuned for SEO, forming a “topic cluster” with varied and relevant lexical fields. A well-ranked page should ideally contain at least 2000 words. Quality and diversity in content are crucial, avoiding keyword stuffing to prevent Google penalties.
Alt Text
Images are a crucial part of your content. Optimize them by renaming files with keywords and using alt tags to describe them, helping Google understand your images. This subtle keyword placement is part of our optimization strategy.
Backlinks
Backlinks are vital for improving your site’s authority and trustworthiness. We specialize in acquiring high-quality backlinks, essential for off-site SEO. Proper backlink strategies enhance your organic rankings, while poor netlinking strategies can harm your SEO. Trust this task to our SEO Bragger experts to ensure effective and safe backlinking.
Meta tags
Here's where it gets technical: metadata, meta tags, or meta elements are information embedded in the source code of each page of your site. They guide search engines during their crawl on the page’s title (title tags) and description (meta description). There are other parameters to configure, such as Rich Snippets via Schema.org markup or Open Graph tags integrated by default.
Heading tags H1, H2
Proper text tagging is crucial. When Google reads your homepage, it needs to understand the hierarchy: the title, subtitle, or unimportant text. Incorrect tagging might mislead Google about your content. We emphasize heading tags, especially H1, to contain your main keyword. Over-optimization can lead to penalties. Our SEO audits pinpoint necessary improvements.
Loading Speed
A fast-loading site improves user experience and SEO. We optimize your site’s loading speed by compressing images, using fewer fonts, and minimizing heavy animations and auto-play videos. Enhancing the mobile version’s speed is also essential.
Local SEO
We boost your local SEO with an optimized Google My Business page / Google Business Profile. Local SEO is increasingly important, and we integrate it into your SEM strategy. Enhancing your company profile helps improve your local search rankings.
SEO-Friendly URLs
Optimizing your URLs is a simple yet effective way to enhance your site's ranking. Known as "slugs," URLs should incorporate your keywords subtly, aiding user navigation. Avoid special characters; use hyphens to separate words. We also provide suggestions for domain name changes to maximize organic search performance. We do it daily for our clients with success!
Internal Linking
Internal linking involves adding links to other pages within your site, which aids Google's crawl process and helps it understand the structure and hierarchy of your website. This process is not only easy to implement but also highly effective in boosting your site's SEO. We also consider external links to authoritative sites, which can enhance your site’s credibility and SEO performance.
301 Redirects
If transitioning from another CMS to a new one (Wordpress, Shopify, Wix), it’s crucial to redirect old URLs to avoid 404 errors. We check all indexed URLs and ensure they point to the correct new addresses, maintaining your SEO integrity.
Google Ads, Gemini
We also assist with Google Ads campaigns, Pay-Per-Click (PPC), as part of a comprehensive SEA strategy or for your social media optimization (SMO). Voice search optimization and new conversational search technologies like Google Gemini and ChatGPT are also within our expertise (AIO).

Frequently Asked Questions about SEO (You all know the reason for this long, tedious text at the bottom of the page, shh, don't tell Google!)
What is SEO?
SEO, or Search Engine Optimization, is the intricate process of enhancing a website’s visibility and relevancy in the search engine results pages (SERPs). Unlike the amateurs who dabble in this field, we at SEO Bragger know that real SEO involves a strategic blend of keyword research, link building, and optimizing on-page elements to manipulate Google’s algorithm—yes, that temperamental, money-hungry beast. SEO isn't just about sprinkling a few keywords here and there; it’s about crafting a comprehensive strategy that leaves your competitors in the dust.
How does SEO work?
SEO works by gaming the various factors that search engines like Google use to determine the relevancy and quality of a website. It involves meticulous optimization of title tags, meta descriptions, and content with highly targeted keywords. The process also includes building a fortress of high-quality inbound links, ensuring a flawless sitemap for indexing, and improving the overall user experience. At SEO Bragger, we don’t just work with SEO tools; we master them to extract every ounce of benefit, making sure Google has no choice but to rank your site at the top. Remember, it’s not magic; it’s just knowing the game better than the other players.
What is an SEO company?
An SEO company, ideally like SEO Bragger, specializes in optimizing websites to achieve superior rankings in search engine results. Beware, though—this industry is rife with scammers and incompetents who promise the moon but barely deliver a dust particle. A real SEO company employs specialists who use a plethora of advanced SEO tools and techniques, such as keyword research, competitor analysis, and content optimization, to propel your site to the top. We at SEO Bragger excel at this, ensuring you get the best ROI without the runaround.
What is black hat SEO?
Black hat SEO refers to unscrupulous practices that defy search engine guidelines, aiming to manipulate rankings through unethical means. This includes shady techniques like keyword stuffing, cloaking, and creating duplicate content. While these methods might give a quick boost, they are the fast track to getting your site penalized by Google. But then again, Google's algorithms aren’t exactly infallible, often guided more by profit margins than quality. At SEO Bragger, we steer clear of these risky tactics, focusing instead on sustainable, long-term white hat strategies.
Why is SEO important for small businesses?
SEO is crucial for small businesses because it levels the playing field, allowing them to compete with larger companies for visibility, read more. A well-crafted SEO strategy can lead to higher search engine rankings, increased organic traffic, and ultimately, more customers. Small businesses, often with tighter budgets, find SEO to be a cost-effective method of attracting targeted traffic. At SEO Bragger, we specialize in catapulting small businesses into the big leagues, because everyone deserves a shot at the top—without breaking the bank.
Which SEO tool is best?
Choosing the best SEO tool can be tricky, especially when SEMrush and Ahrefs, despite their undeniable capabilities, charge outrageous prices and treat users like cash cows. SEMrush offers extensive keyword research capabilities, site audit features, and competitive analysis that are indispensable for any serious SEO effort. Ahrefs is your go-to for in-depth backlink analysis, providing insights into your competitors' link profiles and uncovering precious link-building opportunities. Both tools are powerhouses, but let’s be real—there are also free tools out there for those of us who are thrifty. At SEO Bragger, we can make even the free tools work wonders because, in the end, tools are only as good as the experts wielding them.
Where can I get backlinks?
Getting high-quality backlinks requires more than just begging other sites for links. It’s about creating compelling, shareable content that naturally attracts links (in fact, it almost never happens), engaging in guest blogging, and forming strategic partnerships (buying links, it works). Backlinks from reputable sites signal to Google that your content is authoritative and trustworthy. Of course, it’s not as easy as it sounds—there’s an art to it that we at SEO Bragger have perfected. So, unless you want to end up with a bunch of worthless, spammy links, leave it to the pros.
What do SEO specialists do?
SEO specialists are the unsung heroes behind your website’s rise to the top. They conduct detailed keyword research, optimize on-page elements like title tags and meta descriptions, build and manage a robust backlink profile, monitor website performance using tools like Google Search Console, and ensure compliance with search engine guidelines. They also analyze competitor strategies and continuously tweak their own tactics to stay ahead. In short, they do the heavy lifting so you can reap the rewards. At SEO Bragger, we don’t just do SEO—we live it.
Can SEO be automated?
Sure, you can automate parts of SEO, like site audits, rank tracking, and some aspects of keyword research. But don’t be fooled—true SEO mastery requires a human touch. The algorithms and nuances of search engine optimization are too complex and ever-changing for a one-size-fits-all automated solution. While tools can handle the grunt work, strategic decisions, creative content creation, and nuanced optimizations need expert minds. So, no, SEO cannot be fully automated—not if you want to do it right. And at SEO Bragger, we do it right.
What is a sitemap and why is it important?
A sitemap is a crucial file that lists all the pages on your website, guiding search engines in understanding your site’s structure and facilitating efficient crawling. A well-organized sitemap ensures that every important page gets indexed, enhancing your site’s visibility in search results. It’s especially vital for larger sites or those with complex architectures. In SEO Bragger's hands, your sitemap isn’t just a list—it’s a meticulously crafted blueprint that tells Google exactly where to find the gold.
What is on-page SEO?
On-page S.E.O involves optimizing individual web pages to improve their search engine rankings and drive organic traffic. This includes optimizing title tags, meta descriptions, headers, content, images, and URLs. On-page SEO ensures that each page is structured in a way that is accessible and relevant to both search engines and users. At SEO Bragger, we dissect every element of your web pages, fine-tuning them to perfection so that Google has no choice but to reward you with higher rankings.
