SEO in Plain Language
SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is the process of improving a website so it ranks higher in Google's organic, unpaid search results. When someone searches for what you offer, SEO determines whether they find you or a competitor.

Is SEO Really Free?
There's no direct payment to Google for organic rankings, but SEO requires real investment of time, expertise, and content production — it's not free in any practical sense, even without a per-click cost.
SEO vs. Paid Ads
Paid ads stop generating traffic the moment budget runs out. SEO results are more durable — once a page ranks, it typically keeps pulling traffic for months or years without an ongoing per-click cost.
