What is Search Engine Optimization?
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) prepares a website to boost its rankings on search engines and increases qualified traffic to its address. This component of online marketing yields the best ROI over the long-term because the marginal cost per visitor is virtually zero. (Cost is derived from professional SEO consultants). We work with all the major search engines including Google, Yahoo, MSN/Bing and Ask.
Why Should I Use Search Engine Optimization?
Search Engine Optimization is a critical component of a well-developed online marketing strategy. SEO is important for building online brand recognition, generating traffic and achieving maximum ROI from your overall online marketing campaign. Unfortunately, many businesses overlook SEO because of the practices of certain unethical firms that were once prevalent, or because they simply don’t understand its benefits. Think of SEO as the low-hanging fruit on the online marketing tree. Optimize your site and you’ll be enjoying the fruits of your decision for a long, long time.
BUILDING BRAND RECOGNITION:
SEO is important for brand building because you want your site to appear quickly when people perform search queries relevant to your business. You want to rank high when someone searches for your business or product by name. By doing so, you ‘own’ that keyword/phrase. Optimizing your page titles and descriptions allows you to customize your marketing message when it is displayed on search engine results pages (SERPs). Ranking high for generic terms (e.g. jeans) will also help your branding efforts. Do a Google search for ‘jeans’ and see who shows up.
GENERATING TRAFFIC:
Search Engine Optimization generates traffic to your site. When you start the SEO process, you need to clearly understand how your business is described, both internally and externally. Your customers will likely describe your business differently than you do, and being aware of this will improve your SEO efforts. Using this information will help to build more relevant content, which eventually leads to better rankings. The SEO process also increases the indexing of pages on your site. The more pages indexed by the search engines, the more opportunities you will encounter to connect with potential customers.
ACHIEVING MAXIMUM ROI:
Probably the most important factor about SEO is the ROI it generates over the long term. Typically, the cost associated with SEO is that of the SEO consultant and/or a copywriter. If you don’t hire anyone, then the cost is only your time (or employees’ time). Over the long term, the marginal cost for visitors from organic web search is virtually zero.
