QUOTES
04:29 “SEO is like the strategies and the tactics that one can use to let Google know that your website or content is relevant towards your, like for your target market.
07:08 “So even from the time that you put your website up, even if you optimize that 100% perfectly, it may take a couple months anywhere from four to six months for your website to really get some traction.”
08:55 “You just have to make sure that the websites, the pages that you have are high quality, meaning that when people come to your website, they get the questions that they have answered.
14:08 “When they Google that website, because of the image, having those keywords in that will pop up on Google images and may bring your site as an option for the parent to select.”
23:57 “So now you’re getting a new wave of people coming to see that and the traffic increase to that blog post will tell Google, yay, this is super relevant.”
