Search engine optimisation sounds technical, but the basics are simple: help Google understand your website, and help customers find what they are looking for. Start here.
Know what your customers search for
Think about the words a customer would type when they need what you sell, such as "WordPress website designer in Lagos" or "affordable catering in Abuja". Those phrases are your keywords.
Give every page one clear job
Each page should target one main topic. Use that topic in the page title, the main heading and naturally in the first paragraph.
Make your site fast and mobile friendly
Google prefers pages that load quickly and work well on phones. Compress images, avoid heavy plugins and choose reliable hosting.
Set up your Google Business Profile
If you serve customers in a specific area, a complete Google Business Profile helps you appear in local results and on maps.
Create genuinely helpful content
Answer the questions your customers ask. Helpful articles build trust and bring in visitors who are ready to buy.
A simple SEO checklist you can start today
Give every page a unique title and description that include the main phrase customers search for. Use one clear heading at the top of each page. Add short, descriptive text to your images. Link related pages to each other. Make sure your business name, address and phone number are the same everywhere they appear online.
Then claim your Google Business Profile and ask happy customers for honest reviews.
