As a business owner, blogger, or website owner, your job is two-fold: First, you need to make it easy for search engines to understand what your page is about and create content that matches what we call, the “searcher’s intent.” Second, you need to show Google and other search engines that your pages are ‘worthy’ of ranking. In this video, Sam Oh teaches the a 101 into the world of search engine optimization. There are plenty of clear examples and some basic (yet powerful) SEO tips to optimize a brand new website to rank #1 on Google (step-by-step). The techniques that are taught in this SEO training include: 1. Keyword research By doing keyword research, you can see the average number of times someone searches for a specific keyword phrase in Google each month.

In general, the more quality backlinks you can get from relevant pages, the higher you’ll rank in Google.
