SEO Booster is a great way to quickly assess your site for opportunities to increase your visibility for relevant keyword phrases in search engines.

After you save your key phrases, SEO Booster will begin to scan your website based on those key phrases. Once it is done scanning, you will be taken to your SEO Booster Dashboard to see your score. The lower your score, the more tasks you will need to complete in order to increase your opportunity to rank for relevant terms in major search engines.
You do not have to complete every task in the same session but you are encouraged to run SEO Booster regularly to see how you can improve your score.

- Additional Recommendations
-
The SEO Booster tool is intended to help you increase the visibility of your site in search engines, however it is important to remember that search engine optimization is an ongoing process!
- Run SEO Booster every so often, mainly when you update your content to check your score and update your site map.
- Avoid constantly changing your keyphrases. Maintaining consistent data allows your site to build a history with search engines.
- Make sure that you are regularly promoting your site. Search engines are a tool for indexing, not promotion. Highly-ranked sites are popular not only because they’re optimized, but because they have lots of referrals via promotion and reputation. Each link into a site or page essentially serves as a vote of credibility and relevance of that content.
