4 Factors Explaining the Importance of SEO to Every Business
Will it drive your business success as it did to those who invested? How effective can it be?
The job of the search engine is to take the searches (those terms typed into browsers) of every user and locate the best possible answers to that query. If you are engaging in SEO, then you can’t be found by prospects on the results page, and those found on the top results are likely to be your business competition. And so, if you haven’t invested yet on SEO, you are missing out A LOT. As you decide to utilize search engine marketing, you are staying competitive with that competition of yours by getting your brand known to prospects.
Also, you shouldn’t worry that it would cost you so much, especially if you’re running a local business. We have affordable SEO services here in the Philippines. In fact, a lot of international companies even outsource to SEO agencies in the country since it’s way cheaper compared to other regions.
Excellent User Experience
Search Engine Optimization is ultimately about providing the user with the best experience possible. Search engines want to give the searchers what they are looking for, and when it can do that, both parties become happy. Happy visitors will become returning visitors.
Optimal Reach
Audience unconsciously trusts the search engine results. If Google places Juan’s restaurant page in the top spot of the search, then that eatery must have earned that spot, and it must be good. Users then would tell his friends on social media like Facebook and Twitter that he’s going to Juan’s restaurant and invites them, giving the link to them to click as well. It works pretty fast, and before you even know it, a dozen teenagers will show up at Juan’s restaurant! Why? Because the search engine matched everything right, and it all pointed to that business. Amazing, right?
High Conversion
Digital marketing which includes SEO strategies attracts individuals who are already looking for your product and service. No screaming, no dancing, no wearing of cool clothes to gain the attention of the audience. In SEO, you are bound to connect to an audience who already knew their needs which is why they’ve gone searching on browsers in the first place. No need for payment to earn a bold print ad placed in the magazine. What you only need to do is present yourself among those top five results (that’s through the help of a trusted digital marketing agency) and – voila! You’ll reach people who were looking for you. Yes, you still need to convince them that you are the better company than the other, but half of your battle is over. When they clicked to your website, and you have good contents to show (precisely what they are looking for), then you’re on your way to gaining a new business customer just like that.
Proper Customer Insight
Having a well-optimized site increases your search engine visibility, usability, and credibility, -factors needed to increase traffic to your website. Now that you enjoy a more significant number of visitors, Google Analytics (every site should have this set up) can track relevant information about your audience. It will provide data of what browsers and keywords your visitors use to find you. It will even show you their location and the times they are most active, how much time they spent on your page, their bounce rate, and much more valuable information. These all will help you know more about your target market, boost your marketing, and identify strategies based on facts rather than just guesses. The better you know your market, the better the products, and services you can provide to them.
