1/ The characters involved
👩 Librarian = Google
📚 Books = All websites
🧔 Person searching for a book = Your potential customer
We'll connect it all in the end!
👩 Librarian = Google
📚 Books = All websites
🧔 Person searching for a book = Your potential customer
We'll connect it all in the end!
2/ Potential customer searches Google
This is equivalent to the person 🧔 coming to the librarian 👩 and asking her to suggest the most relevant book 📘 on say "Photosynthesis"
('cause we're nerds 😛)

3/ Google prepares the search results
The librarian 👩 now has to decide which books 📚 to recommend from a sea of books.
So, she does this by setting certain parameters to rank the various books.
Which parameters?

Which parameters?
4/ Google prepares results (contd.)
The first set of parameters will be:
1. Does "photosynthesis" appear in the title of the book 📘?
2. Does it appear in the chapter titles 📄?
3. How many times is it mentioned across the content 🔢?

6/ Google shows the results
Attaching various weights to these parameters, the librarian 👩 shares a list of 10 books 📚 that the person 🧔 should consider.
She has a longer list, but the person doesn't care about the books beyond the top 10!

7/ Connecting it all!
"Photosynthesis": Is what we call a "Keyword"
A) First parameter set:
1."Book title": Is the Page Title of your webpage
2."Chapter titles": Are H1, H2... tags
3."Mentions in book content": Mentions in body content
These are called the "on-page" factors

B) Second parameters set:

1. Choose a keyword your customer likely searches
2. Write an article & infuse it per "on-page factors"
3. Distribute it so that websites link back to it
4. Preferably credible ones that give a do-follow backlink
That's it! 🚀
