Are you intimidated by SEO? Did you just break out in cold sweats at the thought of search engine optimization? You’re not alone!

SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is a crucial tool for getting your website in front of the right people (aka your ideal clients), but it’s often overlooked because it seems too complex, time-consuming, or intimidating.

As a professional web designer, implementing SEO on client websites and staying informed on the latest search trends has been an important part of my job for the past 10+ years. After all, what’s the point of a beautiful website if no one sees it?

Introducing: The SEO Simplified Series

This is why I’m excited to launch a new blog post series called SEO Simplified here on the Westco Web Design Blog!

This includes SEO basics, terminology, how to use AI to improve your SEO, and more. My goal is to simplify SEO so that even those who are not technically-minded can understand and implement what you learn on your own website.
