FAQs

What is the ROI of technical SEO?

117% within 6–24 months with proper structural foundations — vs. 16% for basic content SEO over 15 months.

HTTP vs. HTTPS?

HTTP transmits data in plain text and is easily intercepted. HTTPS encrypts it and is a confirmed Google ranking signal.

What is HTML?

HTML is the letter — the content and structure of a web page. HTTPS is the postal service that delivers it securely.

What is the Glossary Method?

Targeting long-tail keyword definitions at high volume and low cost — often 40x cheaper per click than broad terms.

Can I rely on social media instead of a website?

No. Instagram content lasts 72 hours. A website article can generate traffic for 24 months or more.

GLOSSARY

HTTPS — Encrypted web protocol. A Google ranking signal since 2014.

Crawl Budget — Time Google allocates to crawling your site. Wasted on broken pages; maximized by clean architecture.

Content Decay — Ranking decline when content goes un-updated. Republishing resets the 24-month visibility window.

Glossary Method — Targeting definitional long-tail keywords at low cost and high volume.

GEO — Generative Engine Optimization. Structuring content to be cited by AI tools like Google AI Overview.
