What is SEO and How is it Done?

SEO is an abbreviation for Search Engine Optimization. SEO refers to the technical criteria adjustments made to websites so that search engines can crawl them more easily. In Turkish, it means Search Engine Optimization. SEO can be defined as all the improvement work done for a website for search engines. The goal of SEO is to increase the value of a website, rank higher in search engine results, and consequently increase the number of site visitors. SEO is the improvement and optimization work done for search engines. It is divided into two categories: on-page SEO and off-page SEO. It encompasses all the processes done to rank higher in search engines. SEO covers the work done to get websites or pages to rank higher in search engines.

Why Should SEO Be Done?

Creating a new website used to require advanced technical knowledge. However, thanks to platforms like WordPress and web design tools like Sitebaz, it's now very easy. But that's not enough. Once you've created a website, you haven't solved everything. You also need to improve your SEO, especially to attract new visitors (customers). SEO, as the name suggests, stands for "Search Engine Optimization," meaning ranking higher in search engine results. This aims to ensure that the information, services, or sales offered on your site reach a wider audience. SEO is the art of achieving web popularity that websites cannot reach naturally, using methods that appear natural. This web popularity, in turn, leads to an increase in Google rankings.

How to do SEO?

If we were to ask "How is organic SEO done?" within the SEO process, the clearest answer would be that it involves effectively implementing organic and natural SEO techniques. In general terms, here's what's done and how in an SEO campaign:

  • Optimizing the site code to be compatible with search engines,
  • The effective use of SEO analysis tools,
  • Monitoring the activities of competing websites,
  • Using backlink checking websites to monitor the links received by competitor websites and developing a strategy accordingly.
  • Making the site speed appealing to search engines,
  • The content should be formatted to comply with article writing rules.
  • Checking the images in terms of both size and authenticity,
  • Providing more references to your site through acquiring natural backlinks,
  • Rich Snippet (Using structured data),
  • The process involves finding, analyzing, and directing content based on keywords.
  • Reviews will be conducted to ensure that the content on the site is of sufficient length.
  • Avoiding factors that lead to excessive SEO and spam,
  • Striving to be the first to submit content and to be original,
  • Identifying a suitable domain,
  • Efforts should be made to increase page authority.
  • Registration with local SEO directories,
  • Social media management and increasing social signals. This contributes to brand awareness.
  • Reputation management aims to increase company and brand trust.
  • Compliance with Google's quality policies,
  • Responsive design and ergonomic use on all mobile devices have been achieved since 2018 with the use of technologies like AMP.
  • Using structured data to provide users with more efficient content,
  • Registration with business-related directories like Yelp.
A good SEO optimization includes the right keywords, tags, schemas, server speed, and much more.

What is Semantic SEO?

Semantic SEO refers to the use of latent semantic links within content to both improve user experience and ensure compliance with Google's artificial intelligence algorithm. When creating content, using relevant terms, headings, and subheadings within the article is sufficient for implementing semantic SEO. To generate LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing) compliant articles, you can use the LSI keyword tool "https://lsigraph.com/". Similarly, the "https://kwfinder.com/" tool is also quite useful and can be used as a tool for generating latent semantic keywords.

What is SEM?

Let's explain the concepts of SEO and Search Engine Marketing (SEM) and their relationship. SEO is about working to achieve success in organic search results and generate more traffic. SEM, on the other hand, is about increasing visitor traffic through advertising (like Google AdWords, Facebook ads, etc.). With SEM, you have continuous advertising expenses. With good SEO, however, you can increase the number of visitors to your site much more economically, without any advertising costs. And consequently, you can increase your potential customer base.

What factors affect SEO work?

According to Semrush, one of the world's leading digital marketing tools, a detailed study was conducted on the factors necessary for achieving success in Google search results for a single keyword. This research involved analyzing over 600,000 keywords and approximately ten thousand websites. Based on the results, the factors influencing SEO success were identified as follows. Considering that case studies and experimental research are far superior to theoretical knowledge, we believe it's essential to memorize these factors.

  • Direct website visits (indicates high brand awareness),
  • Time on site,
  • Average number of pages per session.
  • Bounce rate
  • Number of domains linked to the site (referring domains),
  • The total number of backlinks to the site (total backlinks),
  • The total number of IP addresses linking to the site,
  • Content length and quality
  • SSL certificate (https),
  • Using the keyword as an anchor within the site,
  • Using the keyword within the text on the site,
  • Keyword density
  • The keyword must appear in the article title (meta title),
  • Including the keyword in the meta description,
  • Including video in your content is very important, as it naturally increases the time spent on the page.

How can we get more people to visit the site?

Increasing website traffic through advertising.

With Google AdWords, Facebook, and Instagram ads, you can easily rank on the first page of Google for a fee. As mentioned above, this method requires a continuous advertising budget. High competition in your industry will further increase these costs. In some sectors, a single ad click can cost 15 TL. Roughly speaking, this means that getting 10 visitors to your site costs around 150 TL.

Increasing traffic using organic SEO methods

The best part about this method is that it minimizes advertising costs. Research also shows that appearing in natural search results is more appealing to users and inspires greater trust. There are some fundamental steps involved in achieving this level of search ranking. In general terms, these include strategy development, content optimization, social media strategy, improving user experience, etc.

Using social media effectively

Social media is another alternative traffic source for websites. Some sites generate significant traffic from these sources in addition to organic traffic. Therefore, high-quality social media accounts will have a significant impact on brand awareness and customer growth.

Increasing direct access to the site.

As a natural consequence of brand awareness, an increase in direct visits to your site is expected. In fact, according to Semrush data, direct traffic is among the factors influencing SEO success. Therefore, direct visits, as a different traffic source, are considered a very important metric.
