SEO (search engine optimization) is the process that helps your website rank higher in Google for free, or organically. Unlike advertising, SEO is a long-term and sustainable source of traffic. So where should a small business in Azerbaijan start?
1. Keyword research
What do your customers type into Google? “Plumber in Baku,” “order a cake Baku,” and “accounting services” are keywords. List the real search phrases relevant to your business and focus each page on one primary keyword.
2. Technical SEO basics
- The website displays correctly on mobile devices.
- Pages load quickly (Core Web Vitals).
- Every page has a unique title and meta description.
- sitemap.xml and robots.txt are available for Google.
3. Local SEO
One of the most important steps for a business in Baku is creating a Google Business Profile. It helps you appear in “near me” searches and on the map. Update your address, business hours, and reviews regularly.
4. High-quality content
Blog posts answer customers' questions and target long-tail keywords, just like the article you are reading now. Content both attracts traffic and builds trust.
