Search engines include websites like Google and Yahoo. When a user searches the internet using specific keywords, the sites that are most optimized for this certain keyword show up closer to the top. The goal of search engine optimization is to get the website as close to the top as possible, thereby increasing te possibility that a potential client will click on the site and be directed to their specific website offering information, a product or a service.

There are many methods that are used to optimize the website and enable the website to appear closer to the number one results.
