Background of the study:
Search engine optimization (SEO) is pivotal in enhancing online visibility and driving web traffic, especially for digital news portals competing in an increasingly saturated online environment. In Rivers, Nigeria, digital news outlets rely on effective SEO strategies to capture a broad audience and disseminate information rapidly. This study examines the role of on-page and off-page optimization techniques, keyword strategies, and the use of analytics in refining content delivery and improving search rankings (Uche, 2023). With digital news consumption on the rise, understanding SEO’s impact on audience reach has become critical for media outlets. The research delves into how algorithm changes and search engine policies influence online content dissemination and examines strategies implemented by a leading digital news portal in Rivers. Recent developments in SEO practices highlight the importance of mobile optimization, user experience, and quality content in achieving sustained online presence (Ike, 2024). Furthermore, the study investigates the challenges faced by news organizations in adapting to evolving search engine algorithms and the competitive pressure to maintain high search rankings. By critically assessing the relationship between SEO practices and online visibility, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of digital marketing strategies in the media industry. The findings are expected to guide digital news portals in optimizing their strategies to achieve better engagement and credibility online (Uche, 2023).

There is an urgent need for a comprehensive evaluation of SEO techniques to determine their effectiveness in boosting online visibility amidst increasing competition. This study addresses these challenges by critically assessing the SEO strategies adopted by a digital news portal, offering actionable insights for improving content performance and search engine ranking (Uche, 2023).
