What is SEO & Why Does Your Business Need It?
Search Engine Optimization, or SEO, is one component of Search Engine Marketing (SEM). It is a technique that incorporates keyword phrases that are relevant to your products and services into your website content, advertising, marketing collateral, social media posts, and everything else you publish, to help visitors find you on the Web.
When search engines like Google “see” those key phrases, they analyze your content and the links you’ve earned from relevant, high-quality sites and other factors to determine if your business is an “authority” in your industry. If your site has been properly optimized, Google will reward you by promoting you to the top of its search results.
SEO focuses on organic (free; unpaid) search results. It can be an exceptionally cost-effective way of reaching the top of the search results when you use the right methods.
If you’re wondering whether SEO is worth the effort, consider these facts:
- Email and search engines are the top two activities people engage in on the Web;
- 89% of customers begin their buying process with a search engine;
- 75% of people who use search engines say they never scroll past the first result page;
- The top result on the page generates about 30% of all organic search clicks, while the results in the 2nd through 4th slots get a combined share of 63%;
- Organic search drives 51% of all visitors to both B2B and B2C websites, while paid search (PPC) drives 10% and social 5%;
- 96% of smartphone and tablet users are researching and buying via their mobile devices.
Clearly, search engines are the #1 way to drive traffic to your website, and the better your rankings (mobile and otherwise), the better the results.
