Search Engine Optimisation

SEO (or “Search Engine Optimisation”) is a must-have for any and every business with an online presence.

No ifs, no buts - If you aren’t investing in SEO you are doing two things…

  1. Reducing your chances of revenue growth.
  2. Failing to build a future-proofed revenue stream.

Whilst many forms of advertising and marketing stop working almost immediately after activity ceases, a strong SEO strategy will last the long haul (continuing to invest and stay ahead of trends/competition is always recommended!)

Client FAQs:

What does SEO mean?

SEO stands for “Search Engine Optimisation” and is the act of helping websites achieve strong positioning in search results when a user enters keywords relevant to your business.

How does SEO work?

SEO involves understanding how search engines like Google and Bing crawl the internet to build their index and serve it to users, as well as what influences higher rankings. Tactics to achieve this tend to be spread across technical website needs, content needs and off-page signals such as links.

However, this is still an overly simplified explanation - these processes all have their own specialist needs that can differ based on multiple factors (for example, an international business will have VERY different needs to a local business).

Why is SEO important?

When was the last time you used Google or Bing to find a product or service you then purchased? The average person does between 2-4 Google searches per day. Much like cars driving past an advertising board, search engines are a place your potential customers frequent and you want them to see your brand when relevant!

Still not convinced? What if we told you over 53% of web traffic comes via organic results in search engines, and traffic from SEO has a close rate of 14%? SEO as a marketing channel has HUGE potential to make-or-break your business, so ignore it at your own peril!
