Search Engine Optimization Audit Overview

  • Updated

Search engine optimization (SEO) is what determines whether your web pages and landing pages show up in a search engine's organic, unpaid results - and how high up the list they land. Act-On's SEO Audit feature checks your pages and posts against Google's indexing guidelines and tells you exactly what to fix, from your page title to your H1 headings, so you don't have to guess at what's holding your rankings back.

Why this matters: The earlier and more often a page appears in organic search results, the more visitors it brings in without paid spend. Running a quick SEO Audit before you publish catches compliance issues early, so your content has the best chance of being found.

As an internet marketing strategy, SEO considers how search engines work, what people search for, the actual search terms or keywords typed into search engines and which search engines are preferred by their targeted audience. Optimizing a website may involve editing its content, HTML and associated coding to both increase its relevance to specific keywords and to remove barriers to the indexing activities of search engines.
