    What Is B2B SEO?

    B2B SEO is search engine optimization for a company that sells to other businesses rather than to consumers. The goal is the same as any SEO: to appear in Google’s organic results when a potential customer searches for what you supply. What changes is the buyer. A B2B purchase usually involves several people, a longer sales cycle, specialist vocabulary and far fewer searches, so B2B search engine optimization puts more weight on precise keywords, detailed product and service pages, and measuring enquiries rather than traffic. The technical work underneath is identical to ordinary SEO.

    Google’s documentation does not describe separate rules for business-to-business sites. Its SEO Starter Guide gives the same advice to every website, and nothing in its crawling or ranking documentation treats a business audience differently. The differences are all on the customer’s side of the screen, and they change which pages you build and how you judge whether they are working. The table sets out the ones that matter most in practice.
