From the Preface
Search engine optimization (SEO) is a field that remains little understood by most organizations. To complicate matters more, SEO crosses over between marketing and technical disciplines, so it’s not even clear where it should sit in most organizations. Yet, a successful SEO program for your website is often one of the highest-ROI activities an organization can decide to invest in.
We wrote this book to demystify this ever-changing, ever-evolving landscape. This latest edition is a complete revamp of the third edition of The Art of SEO, which was published in 2015. It covers all of the latest aspects of SEO, including EEAT and the impact of generative AI (ChatGPT, google Bard, Bing Chat, Claude, etc.).
Who this book is for
You can think of this book as a complete guide to SEO 101, SEO 102, and so on, all the way through to SEO 500. As such, it can serve both as an essential manual for those seeking to learn SEO for the first time, and as an invaluable reference for those who are already experienced with SEO.
How This Book Is Organized
The first few chapters of the book represent a great starting place for those who are just beginning to learn about SEO, and the complexity of the material builds gradually from there. Chapters 5 and 6 provide you with guidance on how to get started with your SEO program, covering SEO strategy and keyword research. This is where you’ll get oriented with what the situation is in your topical area and where your best opportunities lie to build market share.
In Chapters 7 through 10, we address technical SEO in depth. While this grounding is essential for SEO beginners, these chapters are also filled with rich material for advanced SEO. Chapter 11 focuses on the role of links and strategies for attracting attention (and links) to your site. Chapter 12 is a comprehensive guide to optimizing for local and vertical search—news, video, and images—with each section going into a great deal of depth on how to drive SEO success in those areas. We’ve even included a detailed review of how to optimize your videos for ranking in YouTube (in addition to how to rank your videos in google)!
Chapters 13 and 14 cover other aspects of SEO, including the legal landscape as well as how to continue your development as a world-class SEO professional. Finally, Chapter 15 presents a vision of the future as we look into the crystal ball to see what may be coming our way over the next few years.
