What is SEO and Why Do I Need It?
You hear the term SEO or Search Engine Optimization a lot these days. And you may be wondering what it is and why is it important… well, here’s the scoop:
SEO is the process of maximizing the number of visitors to a particular website by ensuring that the site appears high on the list of results returned by a search engine, such as Google. Many people think they know SEO but it is much more complex than keywords and content. In fact, SEO falls into two categories: On-Page SEO and Off-Page SEO.
On-Page SEO is when you take time to improve the individual pages of your website. This will enhance your ranking in search engine results. This includes keywords, formatting, URLs, navigation, load speed, blogging and responsive design.
Off-Page SEO is when you improve your search results by linking to your site from other websites such as: social media channels, search engine business profiles and third party articles.
Why Does Your Business Need SEO?
As a business owner, you may see SEO as an unnecessary expense, when really it’s one of the most important things you should do. People use search engines to find businesses and without SEO you’ll have limited visibility online.
