Search Engines are the storage of web pages where the copies of webpages are stored. When you type something on the search engine, it goes through all the webpages and shows the most relevant result. All these processes use an algorithm, which no one knows exactly how it works.

Google says search algorithms go through many factors “including the words of your query, relevance and usability of pages, the expertise of sources and your location and settings”. Google is mostly used because of its most reliable algorithms.

How SEO works:

Search Engine Optimization simply shows the search engines that your content is the best relevant content for the users because the search engines have the same goals to show the most compatible result to the users. SEO also depends on the type of search engine you are optimizing for.
