What is SEO and Why Do I Need It?
SEO is an acronym that stands for Search Engine Optimization. Search Engine Optimization is the process/discipline of increasing the quantity and the quality of traffic to your website.
QUALITY traffic is relevant traffic – specific, targeted groups of potential customers visiting your website, and you want as high a QUANTITY as possible. As SEO Specialists, our main goal is to understand how your customers behave online. We seek to understand what they are searching for, what words they are using, the type of content they are looking for, and what questions they need answering. The better we know your customers, the better we are able to tailor your website to provide them the QUALITYÂ content that they are looking for. This means better search results for them and more potential customers for you.
In addition to optimizing your site for your customer, SEO specialists also optimize your site for Google. After all, Google is the middleman which brings you and your customers together. Optimizing your site for Google can take many different shapes and forms. This practice is broadly referred to as Technical SEO. It is essentially ensuring that your site is playing by Google’s rules, and the number one rule with Google is QUALITY CONTENT. This is important because if you aren’t playing by Google’s rulebook, Google will not rank your site at all, making you virtually invisible online.
