Description

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) has evolved from a technical marketing activity into a strategic function that shapes digital visibility, brand credibility, and long-term business performance. In an increasingly algorithm-driven and competitive digital environment, organizations can no longer rely on short-term tactics or isolated optimizations to achieve sustainable search visibility. Strategic Search Engine Optimization: A Managerial and Ethical Perspective presents SEO through a structured strategic lens, positioning it as a governance-driven, performance-oriented, and ethically grounded discipline. Rather than offering a tool-centric or tactical manual, this book focuses on the frameworks, decision-making processes, and managerial considerations that underpin effective SEO implementation. The book examines the role of ethics, user intent, and compliance in building sustainable organic visibility, while also addressing competitive analysis, performance measurement, and return on investment. By integrating strategy, measurement, and future-oriented thinking, it enables readers to understand how SEO contributes to long-term digital growth rather than short-lived ranking gains. Designed for students of management and digital marketing, practitioners, and decision-makers, this concise monograph serves as both a conceptual guide and a practical reference. It offers clarity on how SEO should be planned, governed, and evaluated in contemporary organizations, making it a valuable resource for those seeking to align search strategy with broader business objectives.
