Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the visibility of a website or a web page in search engines via the "natural" or un-paid ("organic" or "algorithmic") search results.

SEO may target different kinds of search, including image search, local search, video search, academic search, news search and industry-specific vertical search engines.
