SEO Basics: How to Get Your Website Found on Google

You've built a great website, but nobody can find it. Sound familiar? That's where SEO (Search Engine Optimization) comes in. It's the process of making your website show up when people search for what you offer.

What is SEO?

SEO is the practice of optimizing your website so search engines like Google can understand it, index it, and rank it higher in search results. Higher ranking = more visibility = more customers.

The 5 Fundamentals

1. Page Speed

Google prioritizes fast websites. If your site takes more than 3 seconds to load, you're losing both visitors and ranking. This is where custom-coded websites have a huge advantage over WordPress — they're typically 3-5x faster.

2. Mobile-Friendly Design

Over 70% of web traffic in India comes from mobile devices. Google uses mobile-first indexing, which means it primarily looks at your mobile site for ranking. If your site doesn't work well on phones, your ranking suffers.

3. Quality Content

Create content that answers your customers' questions. If you're a restaurant, write about your menu, your story, your location. If you're a consultant, share your expertise through blog posts. Google rewards websites that provide genuine value.

4. Proper HTML Structure

Use proper heading tags (H1, H2, H3), meta descriptions, alt text for images, and semantic HTML. This helps Google understand what each page is about. Most template builders get this wrong — custom code gets it right.

5. Local SEO

If you serve customers in a specific area, claim your Google Business Profile. Add your business name, address, and phone number consistently across your website and other directories. This helps you show up in local searches like "restaurant near me" or "web developer in Mumbai."

Quick Wins You Can Do Today

  • Make sure your website loads in under 3 seconds
  • Check that it looks good on mobile
  • Add a clear meta title and description to every page
  • Create a Google Business Profile if you haven't already
  • Add your business to Google Maps
  • The Long Game

    SEO isn't instant — it takes 3-6 months to see significant results. But once your website starts ranking, it's like free marketing that keeps working 24/7. Unlike paid ads, organic traffic doesn't stop when you stop paying.
