But since I think they&amp;rsquo;re pretty generic, these could apply to just about anyone with a local business. So I&amp;rsquo;ll just share them on here for everyone, and point her to this post.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;SEO is basically broken into 2 things:&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;ol&gt;&#10;&lt;li&gt;How relevant is your site&amp;rsquo;s content to the people searching for it?&#10;&lt;strong&gt;You improve this by optimizing your site&lt;/strong&gt; - content and meta information (e.g. &lt;em&gt;meta&lt;/em&gt; tags, internal links to other pages on your site, etc.)&lt;/li&gt;&#10;&lt;li&gt;How popular is your site? (Sites with the same relevance, but more popular = higher in Google results.) This means how many &amp;ldquo;backlinks&amp;rdquo; your site has, which is other people/websites linking back to yours.&#10;&lt;strong&gt;You improve this by what&amp;rsquo;s called &amp;ldquo;link building&amp;rdquo;&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;&#10;&lt;/ol&gt;&#10;&lt;hr&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;Anyway, without further ado, here&amp;rsquo;s a list of ideas that might help improve any site&amp;rsquo;s SE rankings.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
