A Web Anatomy SEO Guide to Search Engine Optimisation
If you’ve ever asked yourself, “How do I get my website to show up on Google?”, then SEO is the answer.
Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is the process of improving your website so it ranks higher in search results like Google, Bing, or Yahoo when people search for products or services you offer.
At Web Anatomy SEO, we help South African businesses increase their visibility online through effective, ethical, and results-driven SEO strategies.
Why SEO Matters for Your Business
Think of SEO as digital visibility.
If your business isn’t showing up on page one of search results, you’re losing potential traffic, leads, and sales to competitors who are. Whether you’re based in Johannesburg, Cape Town, or on the KZN South Coast, your customers are online — and they’re searching.
SEO helps you:
- Increase organic traffic (the kind you don’t have to pay for every time someone clicks)
- Build long-term credibility
- Outrank competitors
- Improve website usability and speed
- Convert visitors into paying customers
How SEO Works
Search engines like Google use bots to crawl the web, indexing content and ranking websites based on relevance, quality, speed, and authority.
When someone types a query like “plumber in Durban” or “best bakery near me”, Google tries to deliver the most relevant, trusted, and user-friendly website results.
SEO involves optimising your site to meet those criteria.
