► About this video
At Yoast, we practice “holistic SEO”. Your primary goal should be to build and maintain the best possible website. Ranking in Google will come automatically if your website is of extremely high quality. Google wants to serve its customers. Their mission is to index all the world’s information and make it universally accessible. In addition to this, Google, of course, wants to make money. To achieve this, they have to make sure people keep using Google. This means that they’ll have to show people the results they are looking for.
So, if you practice holistic SEO and get your website to be the best in your market, Google wants to rank it high in the results. Permanently ranking well in Google demands an extensive SEO strategy focused on every aspect of your website and its marketing. The technical side, the User eXperience (UX), the content on your website: all need to be top-notch. To keep ranking well in Google, you should develop – what we call – a holistic SEO approach.
