Want to get a better handle on SEO and how it can boost your website’s traffic? If yes, well then look no further. This overview should help – a team from SEMRush has put together an overview of key SEO fundamentals, which explains all the areas that you need to be focused on to maximize your search traffic.

SEO 1.0

By now, the number of times you’ve seen the word ‘SEO’ when talking about online efforts, primarily with respect to marketing, the count probably reaches more than the tally of those claimed by the Black Plague. However, that’s actually a good thing, because as overbearing as it is, SEO is an important, and often overlooked process that determines whether or not you generate web traffic.

On that note, SEMRush is an established SEO leader and expert and continues to supply us with handy overviews and pointers for us to better refine and tweak our strategies, bettering our overall approach. SEMRush’s overview is relatively simple and easy to read. To point out a few things, it lists three major types of SEO:

  • On-Page SEO

  • Off-Page SEO

  • Technical SEO 

The guide also goes over some examples under each type, which should help paint a better picture of how you should be structuring your SEO strategy, as well as the elements you should use and focus on. Also worth noting is how keywords are central to any SEO process and technique. Remember that you are optimizing for search engines, meaning that what you do will ultimately impact your ranking within search results, which is something that you cannot optimize without keywords.

Part of utilizing SEO to the max is to also get to know it more. While it’s rather nuanced and intricate, understanding more about it also puts you in more of an advantageous position. SEMRush can’t make it any more clear – if you do SEO right, then you’ve pretty much already guaranteed an increase in organic traffic.

The Wrap

Again, it’s a pretty simple and short guide, which isn’t always easy to pull off given SEO’s inherently nuanced nature. It’s good to see that SEMRush can make even a challenging topic beginner-friendly, which just goes on to further showcase its mastery in the field. There are some incredibly useful pointers and tips here, so if you’re unsure where or how to start with SEO, then we would recommend going through this guide as a sort of ‘starter’. SEO never stops, so once you begin, aim to constantly improve your processes.
