What is SEO?

Imagine you're playing a game of hide and seek. SEO, or Search Engine Optimization, is like the ultimate game guide that helps you become the best hider. In this case, your website is the one hiding and Google (or any other search engine) is "it". The goal of SEO is to help your website hide so well that it's actually found! Sounds a bit backwards, doesn't it?

Here's how it works: When someone types something into a search engine (like Google), they're given a list of results that are relevant to their search terms. These results aren't random - they're ranked by how useful the search engine thinks they'll be to the person searching. SEO is all about making sure your website appears as high up on this list as possible.

Now, how do you play this game? Well, there are lots of ways! You can use keywords (the words people are most likely to type into a search engine when looking for what your website offers), create high-quality content that people want to read, make sure your website loads quickly and looks good on all devices, and much more. It's like a never-ending game of hide and seek where the rules keep changing - but don't worry, there are plenty of guides out there (like me!) who can help you keep up.

So in short: SEO is all about making sure your website gets found by the right people at the right time - because what good is having an amazing hiding spot if no one ever finds you?
