Understanding SEO: From Code to Customers

Welcome to our deep dive into Search Engine Optimization (SEO)! We often talk about SEO in two ways: the highly technical details that make search engines happy, and the straightforward business benefits that help our clients succeed. Let's break it down.

On-Page SEO

🧠 NERD MODE (Technical Explanation)

Optimizing HTML elements like title tags, meta descriptions, H1–H6 headers, image alt attributes, internal links, and keyword-rich body content. We also focus on a structured content strategy based on semantic search, keyword clustering, and content depth. Our approach considers TF-IDF balance, entity association, and topical authority.
