About two years ago Google has published their first version of SEO Starter Guide, which have since translated into 40 languages.

This guide first began as an effort to help teams within Google, but they thought it'd be just as useful to webmasters that are new to the topic of Search Engine Optimization and wish to improve their sites' interaction with both users and search engines. Although this guide won't tell you any secrets that'll automatically rank your site first for queries in Google (sorry!), following the best practices outlined in this guide will make it easier for search engines to crawl, index and understand your content.

Once again, Google has just announced an updated fresh new Starter Guide to SEO with more content and examples.

What’s new in this guide:

• Added Glossary to define terms throughout the guide
• Added more example images to help beginners better understand the content
• Learn the good ways to optimise your Website for mobile devices
• Improved better readability by clearer wording

What are some simple ways that you can improve your website's SEO-Friendliness in Google?

This Google Search Engine Optimization Starter Guide may answer your question! It covers couples of common areas that webmasters might consider optimising, such as improving title and description meta tags, URL structure, site navigation, content creation, and more.

Of course you can download the newer version of Google SEO Starter Guide here. Enjoy! :)
