Search engine optimization (SEO) means optimizing a Website, Blog Posts, Content Links, Videos, Social Sites or business marketing assets for its respective keywords or search terms to gain the desired visibility on the top pages of the Search Engines, especially Google.
For a website to gain trust and rank sooner on search engines it has to be well SEO optimized right from the foundation by taking Google search engine guidelines into consideration. Unfortunately, many people think increasing their Google rankings through SEO is a very lengthy process or that it takes a lot of time to rank higher on search engines. Well, it’s not true! When SEO is done properly by posting user-friendly, unique content that’s engaging to the visitor and by following search engine guidelines without gimmicks, tricks and spamming, you’ll begin to improve your search engine visibility. In fact, it’s possible to see a successful campaign to rank a website higher on the top of search engines even faster than expected if you have the right type of SEO done to the foundation.

3) If your website or business listing doesn’t appear on top of the Google results when searching your company or business name directly, then it’s an alarm of bad SEO.

5) If there is a fall of keyword rankings or your rankings remain stagnant on search engines other than Google’s top 2 pages, or if there is no growth in rankings at all then these are the signs of bad SEO.
