Search engines are the gatekeepers of the internet.
Google is the first place people go when they want to find something online. Whether it is “How to tie a tie” or the “What is the best mexican restaurant near me?”
Google wants to give the best answer for every search query. They do this by using algorithms to rank pages based on a number of factors, including:
- The quality of content
- The freshness of the content
- Engagement metrics
- The relevance of the content on the page to what was searched for
- The popularity and authority of that page and its links from other sites around the web
- The type of site that is hosting the page (for example, if it’s a news site or an ecommerce site)
