SEO is a process of understanding the needs and intent of your audience. An SEO plan involves research on search terms your audience uses to describe their problems and creating dedicated web pages to attract them:

1. The most searched terms relevant to your business will often be informational pages.
2. Transactional searches that include "vs" and "buy" are often searchers ready to become customers.
3. Branded searches often reveal frequently asked questions your would-be customers expect your website to have an answer of.
