If you’re trying to get more traffic to your website, there’s one thing you’ve probably already heard a hundred times: “You need to be on the first page of Google.” And it’s true. But the real question is—how do you actually get there without getting penalized or risking your site’s reputation?
The answer: white hat SEO techniques.
As someone who’s been helping businesses grow their online visibility using proven, ethical strategies (and recently completed my SEO certification through PinoySEO Bootcamp), I’ve seen firsthand what works—and what doesn’t. In this post, I’ll break down what white hat SEO is and how you can use it to rank higher on Google the right way.
“Good SEO is not about tricking Google. It’s about partnering with Google to provide the best search results for users.” - Phil Frost, Main Street ROI
