How Does SEO Work? From Crawling to Ranking

Search engines find pages, store them, and rank them when someone searches. SEO helps your pages succeed at each step.

Crawling and indexing

Search engines use bots to discover pages by following links, then store useful pages in an index. Pages that cannot be crawled cannot appear in results.

Ranking

When someone searches, the engine picks pages that best match the query, using signals such as relevance, page quality and links from other sites.

A Common Mistake to Avoid

Do not assume more pages always means more traffic. Quality and relevance matter more than quantity.
