SEO Fraud

Search engine optimisation (SEO) is a complex science that businesses use to attract the attention of online customers by optimising their website for search engines.

If your organisation has a website, the chances are you have spent time and money building a strategy behind what you do online. Search engine optimisation is a term given to the process of making your website or online environment more accessible to your target market.

Companies improve their SEO by building and maintaining their website in such a way that it is viewed favourably by search engines. The process of SEO includes optimising website content, focusing on primary key words and meta tags, keeping content fresh and relevant, and deploying other marketing strategies such as linking and pay per click.

Is Someone Fraudulently Using Your Brand Online?

Many companies don't realise that fraudsters are using their brand and online data to steer search engines to their own inferior products or simply to attack the company's bottom line.
