WHAT IS SEO?
SEO stands for “Search Engine Optimization.” It is the process getting found online for specific keywords so that you can get free (also called 'organic') traffic from search results on search engines, including social media search engines.

WHAT SEO KEYWORDS TO USE?
Now that you know what SEO is, how do you know what keywords to target for best results? Search engine experts use tools such as Google's keywords planner to see what keywords a lot of people search for, and how difficult it is to rank on page 1 for them. From there, along with other tools used, we can make an informed decision on which keywords to target to optimum traffic as fast as possible.
LETS GET STARTED
DOES WORDPRESS RANK BETTER ON GOGGLE?
No software can guarantee ranking on Google. If that were the case, everyone would be climbing on top of each other in order to get that software :)
I WANT TO KNOW MORE
Wordpress is an open source economical software, and therefore a lot of sites use it. And because a lot of sites use it, by sheer numbers of sites out there, and the market share Wordpress has, a lot are bound to rank 1st on Google. However to say Wordpress ranks best on Google is like saying a Toyota is the best car to own, simply because it's the most sold.
In fact, Wordpess can be detrimental to rankings, because it can be slow to load, is hacker prone, and does not allow you to have different elements on different devices so mobile can load faster.
At Register IT, we are biased towards our own Piece of Cake website builder, however, we always advise clients on the best solution for their business, be it ours, Wordpress, Magento, Shopify, Volusion or custom coding. You need to take your business needs into account first, as all sites can rank on the first page of Google with proper SEO.
DOES HTTPS AFFECT SEO?
The short answer is no, but it will affect your visitors and traffic. Having a secure website is something Google is trying to enforce on the internet, which means that if your site is not https, it may still rank on top of Google, but when people visit it, the first thing they will see is a warning that your site is not secure. This scares people away, so it's best to get it.
Our website solutions come with SSL as part of the package, so you don't have to worry about it at all
SEO WITHOUT CONTENT
We often get asked, do I need content in order to do proper Search Engine Optimization (SEO)? The answer is yes. Content is KING!
However, you can still rank, thought generally temporarily, on the first page of search engines with strategically created video's, images, and short content. In the end, if you have good content, you will always win over those with not so much content.
