Keyword
A word or phrase that people type into Google. SEO is the process of making your website appear when people search for keywords relevant to your business - like 'mortgage broker Gold Coast' or 'first home buyer loan Brisbane.'
Most broker sites write for "mortgage broker" alone and ignore the hundred more specific, easier-to-win phrases borrowers actually type, like "first home buyer loan" plus their suburb.
Alt Text
A written description of an image that search engines read. Google can't see images - it reads the alt text instead. Without it your images are invisible to search engines and you're missing easy ranking opportunities.
Backlink
A link from another website pointing to yours. Google treats backlinks like votes of confidence - the more reputable sites linking to you, the more Google trusts your site. Quality matters far more than quantity. One link from a respected financial publication beats a hundred from random directories.
Bounce Rate
The percentage of visitors who land on your site and leave without clicking anything else. A high bounce rate tells Google your site didn't answer what the visitor was looking for. Fast load times, clear headlines, and relevant content keep people on the page.
