Optimising for Key terms

Key terms, or keywords, are specific words or phrases that users typically search for information about a particular topic. These keywords are crucial because they help search engines like Google understand what a particular webpage is about and match it with relevant search queries.

Understanding how key terms affect a website's SEO score is important. Here are a few factors to consider: 

Relevance: If the key terms used on a website are relevant to the content and frequently appear in users' searches, search engines will consider the website more relevant and improve its SEO score.

Density: The density of key terms on a webpage can also affect its SEO score. Key terms used sparingly can be considered spammy, but you need to include key terms for search engines to consider the webpage relevant.

Placement: Search engines consider key terms in the title tag, meta description, header tags, and first paragraph of content more important. Proper placement can improve a website's ranking.

Competition: Competition for a particular key term can also affect a website's SEO score. A website may need extra effort if it tries to rank for a highly competitive key term.
