SEO stop words (Google stop words, stopwords) are generic common words (and, or, besides, in, a, the, do, they, etc.) that Google may omit in search query processing because they don’t usually affect the meaning of the query. These words are actually used for grammatical purposes and don’t communicate a message on their own.
For example, if you google something like “best carrot cake recipe” and “the best carrot cake recipe”, the SERP will anyway feature links to pages with carrot cake recipes. In this case, the does not add any meaning to the query. |
