As discussed by Part 1, SEO results in a higher ranking on Google search result pages. Part 2 will cover Schema Markup, Mobile Friendly, and Meta Tags.
3) Schema Markup
Schema gives websites structure, enabling search engines to discover relevant information easier.

Making website pages mobile-friendly includes creating an accelerated mobile page (AMP) versions.
