Abstract

Today, the interest in private universities in Egypt and the competition among them is increasing due to the ever-growing youth population that cannot be fully accommodated by the Egyptian public universities. This led many students to enrol in private universities to pursue their university education. Retrieving information about universities, faculties, departments, admission requirements, and tuition fees is vital for both parents and students. One of the frequently used methods that enable websites to be reached faster is search engine optimisation (SEO). The objective of this research is to investigate the SEO level analysis of 19 websites of private universities in Egypt using four SEO automated tools. Then, the average score of SEO tools is taken to give the final ranking of the universities' websites. The final rank was compared with global and Egyptian rank of websites using Alexa and SimilarWeb tools. The websites' traffic sources were examined.
