As the main concept of SEO is to bring more and more traffic and this could be done by improving rank in SERP(Search Engine Results Page).

Ranking is widely used in computer systems. Any application that returns a rank ordered set of results to a user is performing some type of ranking operation. Therefore, learning to rank can be a key component for a number of different applications. In most systems, the utility function typically used to assess the quality of a ranking algorithm are very hard to optimize directly. This is in part due to the fact that the utility function depends on the sorted order of the URLs (for a given query) and not directly on the scores, or labels, for the query.

Target visitors are more important than search engines.Don't go straight away to start optimizing your website. Take a moment to consult some studies and see what your target audience is searching for, and how you can supply to their needs. Remember, it's not Google that's paying you, it's your customers.
