Search engine optimization is a very popular topic in the website world. To briefly summarize the subject, search engine optimization is the act of optimizing your website to communicate with the search engines. The goal is to show Google that you are an Expert in your industry, the Authority on your subject, that you are Trustworthy.
It is important that your website developer understands the art of search engine optimization while building or tweaking your website. You never want to send the “wrong signals” to the search engines.
