What Is SEO & Why Is It Important?
70-80% of search engine users ignore the paid ads, focusing on the organic results.
Search Engine Optimization Basics
If you are like most small business owners, you have one issue. Generating New Business. Most businesses fail because they don’t have a marketing system that is constantly bringing in new customers. If you are reading this, you are probably not satisfied with the number of new customers you are currently receiving and you may be wondering how SEO can grow your business.
Well, as an Online Marketing Company that has been using SEO at the core of our marketing systems for years, we know how confusing things can get at times. So, let’s start off by defining SEO.
Of course, SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization but Wikipedia has a nice long definition for the term that explains things nicely.
Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of affecting the visibility of a website or a web page in a search engine’s unpaid results—often referred to as “natural,” “organic,” or “earned” results. In general, the earlier (or higher ranked on the search results page), and more frequently a site appears in the search results list, the more visitors it will receive from the search engine’s users. SEO may target different kinds of search, including image search, local search, video search, academic search,[1] news search and industry-specific vertical search engines.
How SEO Works
