## What is SEO?
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the visibility of a website or web page in a search engine’s unpaid results—often referred to as “natural”, “organic”, or “earned” results. In general, the earlier (or higher ranked on the search results page), and more frequently a website appears in the search engine, the more visitors it will receive from the search engines’ users; these visitors can then be converted into customers. SEO may target different kinds of search, including image search, local search, video search, academic search, news search, and industry-specific vertical search engines. SEO techniques can be classified as on-site or off-site. On-site SEO refers to actions that can be taken within a web page itself, such as using keywords in the title tags and meta description. Off-site refers to SEO activities that are carried out off the web page, for example, link building and social media marketing.
SEO is one of the most important aspects of a successful eCommerce website. It is very important for eCommerce websites to rank high in search engine results. If your eCommerce site does not rank well in search engines, then you will not be able to sell your products and services. So, it is important for you to write a good product description that will help your website rank higher in search results. You can learn more about SEO in SEO Tutorial.
