How to Get Found Online (SEO Basics for Musicians)

Search Engine Optimization. Or, ‘SEO’ for short. This fancy acronym is defined as “the process of maximizing the number of visitors to a particular website by ensuring that the site appears high on the list of results returned by a search engine.” 

Simply put for musicians, this means optimizing how you appear in search results so that you can be easily found online (and therefore grow your online presence and revenue).
