You don't have to spend hundreds or thousands to improve the SEO of your website. You can start with these simple and basic steps and see how things develop.
A keyword is a textual unit that either appears in the text itself or can be used to tag a text. It can be a single word or a combination of several words, numbers, or characters. Keywords are important for successful SEO online marketing because without the right keywords, users cannot find the content on a website.
The bounce rate indicates how many users leave a website without taking any action (e.g. navigating to another subpage). It therefore refers to a single-page session in which the user has neither accessed any additional pages nor interacted with the website in a way that triggers a new request to the Analytics server.
What are Core Web Vitals?
With Core Web Vitals, Google introduced three new criteria in May 2021 for measuring the user-friendliness of a website. These metrics are intended to help assess and classify the user experience a website provides. The three main criteria are loading time, interaction time, and the stability of elements on a website.

In May 2014, the next Panda update from the market leader was rolled out worldwide. Germany's most popular search engine, with a 94% market share in May 2014 and even 98% on mobile devices (source: de.statista.com), deployed the next major search engine algorithm update on the morning of May 21, 2014.

If manual spam actions have been imposed by Google's spam team due to non-compliance with Google-compliant search engine optimization, resulting in parts of a domain or the entire domain receiving lower rankings, the backlink profile of the affected domain should be analyzed carefully and with due consideration.
After website operators and SEO agencies had some time to consider the Google update "Penguin 2.0", which was rolled out on May 22, 2013, the next anti-spam measure from the Google team has now been online since October 4, 2013: Penguin 2.1
