OPTIMIZATION AND SEARCH ENGINE MARKETING

What is SEO and SEM

SEO is a complex system of digital techniques, strategies and practices designed to increase the quantity and quality of online traffic to your website through organic search engine results. With quality SEO, small business owners are able to generate traffic from their target audience through the customer's own searches. SEM produces fast results by targeting an audience that is already interested in the product, information or service your business has to offer. It creates a competitive advantage for small businesses faced with large corporate rivals while delivering a substantial return on investment.

What is SEO?

SEO is the process of making websites and pages technically sound and contextually relevant for both the user AND the search engine in order to improve rankings, drive traffic and increase awareness in the search engines.

Why Do Businesses Need SEO?

  • In the past, businesses ran ads in the Yellow Pages and other traditional advertising vehicles. Prospects viewed the ad, then called or visited the store.

  • Today, Yellow Pages go straight into the trash or is used as a door stop.  Most customers of local and national businesses are using Google to find the products and services they need

  • SEO is the master when it comes to pulling in prospects. It is also a crucial part of any marketing mix. SEO will contribute to the success a business sees not only with organic search directly, but also in other forms of digital marketing.

How do you find:

  • New Businesses?

  • Driving Directions?

  • Phone Numbers?
