I am also including some concepts as there is so much misinformation regarding Escort SEO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Search Engine Optimisation is the practice of optimising your web pages for Search Engines<\/strong>.  Whilst the aim for everyone using SEO as a marketing channel is to get a page 1 result, the result you receive is up to the search engine algorithm.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SEO is not a quick fix; it&#8217;s complex and challenging and if you are focused on Google, the algorithm is constantly evolving so what works today may not work tomorrow and your Page 1 keywords can be Page 5 next week.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many studies that say it takes 3-6 months of consistent work to see results with SEO and it&#8217;s after about a year you see your best results.  This is why most SEO companies have a minimum of 6 months to sign up.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SEO may be a long game but it is one of the best ways to get targeted traffic to your website and without SEO you need to use other marketing channels such as paid escort ads and social media. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Escort Directories are essentially websites selling you their website traffic, the traffic they usually get from their SEO efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id_91f9e5-52 .kb-table-of-content-wrap{padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-right:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-left:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);}.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id_91f9e5-52 .kb-table-of-contents-title-wrap{padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id_91f9e5-52 .kb-table-of-contents-title{font-weight:regular;font-style:normal;}.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id_91f9e5-52 .kb-table-of-content-wrap .kb-table-of-content-list{font-weight:regular;font-style:normal;margin-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;}<\/style>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"seo-misinformation-\">SEO misinformation <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>SEO is regularly thrown around on Twitter mostly by people with no clue what it entails or how much time, money and work are involved.  If it was super easy, everyone would be at no1 for everything, right? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A lot of the mistruths are sales pitches to sell services.  For example: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Hosting location: <\/strong>Hosting location is unimportant unless you are trying to hide from a government. <\/li><li><strong><a aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" class=\"rank-math-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.agencyatlantic.com\/choose-website-domain\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Domain Name<\/a><\/strong> is something that is important for your brand &amp; should be chosen for brand strategy, not for google ranking.<\/li><li><strong>Keyword in Domain<\/strong>:  Putting keywords in your domain name can do more harm than good. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-does-google-rank-pages\">How does Google rank pages?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Google has spiders crawling the internet.

A lot of them are technical so unless you have the skillset or want to learn the skills, save yourself the grey hairs &amp; headaches and pay an experienced professional.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>If your website and pages aren&#8217;t accessible to Google, they are not crawled so everything you do to your website is pretty pointless.  <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p id=\"i-wish-seo-was-a-more-exact-science-but-it-just-isnt--there-are-entire-news-sites-dedicated-to-seo-such-as--search-engine-land--amp-search-engine-journal-plus-1000s-of-forums-chatrooms-groups-and-blogs--as-an-seo-i-spend-a-minimum-of-10hrs-a-week-reading-and-interacting-with-the-seo-community--\">I wish SEO was a more exact science but it just isn&#8217;t.
