Search engine optimization (SEO) may best be described as the art and science of optimizing your web site hosting, design, content and promotion, with the goal of increasing the number of visitors to your site by placing higher on search engines. SEO improves the quality, quantity, clarity and value of the content on your web site. SEO makes a site more relevant and makes this relevant information clear and easily accessible to the search engines. This makes it easier for search engines to include your web site when they select the most worthy sites based upon their own, proprietary relevancy factors for rankings.

SEO is the perfect way to drive qualified customers directly to a web site via search engines and directories. Being listed in most organic search engine results is considered free, making search engine listings a highly affordable forum for effective branding and marketing. For smaller businesses with limited marketing budgets, SEO is a cost-effective alternative to high-priced offline advertising such as print ads and billboards. For larger companies, SEO is becoming increasingly important as customers use search engines to shop online, find product information and learn more about organizations.

Achieving high organic search listings is a primary strategy of Search Engine Optimization.

Organic search results are listings in search engine results pages that appear because of their relevance to the search terms, as opposed to their being advertisements.

The Google, Yahoo!, and Live search engines combine advertising and search results on their search results pages. In each case, the adverts are designed to look like the search results, except for minor visual distinctions such as their background color and/or placement on the page. Further, the appearance of the adverts on all major search engines is so similar to the genuine search results that a large majority of search engine users cannot effectively distinguish between them.

Because so few ordinary users (38% according to Pew) realized that many of the highest placed 'results' on search engine results pages were actually adverts, it became important within the search engine optimization industry to distinguish between the two types of content. As the perspective among general users was that all the results were in fact 'results', the qualifier 'organic' was invented to distinguish the real search results from the adverts. Because the distinction is important (and the word 'organic' has many useful metaphorical uses) the term is now in widespread use within the search engine optimization and web marketing industry.
