What Is SEO?

How Search Engines Actually Work

01

Crawl

Search engine bots scan the internet, discovering and reading every page on your site.

02

Index

Pages that pass quality checks are stored in Google’s index — a massive library of the web.

03

Rank

When someone searches, Google ranks indexed pages by relevance, authority, and experience. Your goal is to rank #1.

Built-In From Day One

How We Build SEO Into Your Mako Waves Site

Every site Mako Waves builds is engineered for search from day one — not bolted on as an afterthought. Here’s what’s built in:

Site Architecture & Performance

  • Clean, semantic HTML structure with proper heading hierarchy (H1–H6)
  • Optimized page speed — compressed images, lazy loading, minimal plugin bloat, caching configured out of the box
  • Mobile-first responsive design, tested against Core Web Vitals
  • SSL/HTTPS security by default

On-Page SEO Foundation

  • SEO plugin installed and configured (Yoast or RankMath) with meta titles, descriptions, and Open Graph tags set up per page
  • Keyword-optimized page titles, URLs, and headers established during build — not left blank
  • Descriptive, keyword-rich alt text on every image
  • Clean, readable permalink structure (no messy default WordPress URL strings)

Discoverability & Indexing

  • XML sitemap auto-generated and submitted to Google Search Console
  • robots.txt configured correctly so search engines can crawl and index the site properly
  • Schema markup (structured data) added for business type, services, reviews, and location — helps Google understand and surface your business in rich results
  • Google Search Console and Google Analytics connected at launch, not weeks later

Local & Business Visibility

  • NAP consistency (Name, Address, Phone) matched across the site and Google Business Profile
  • Location and service pages structured to support local search rankings
  • Internal linking strategy connecting related pages/services to strengthen site authority

Ongoing Foundation for Growth

  • Blog/content structure ready to go, so future posts slot into a search-friendly framework instead of needing retrofitting
  • 301 redirect setup for any migrated content, protecting existing rankings

The result: a site that’s not just live, but actually positioned to be found — the moment it launches.
