Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

When businesses launch and present their brand one of the most important aspects that they need to consider is their SEO. Many brands might think that simply presenting a great product to the marketplace with a strong website and social media campaign can give their business a chance to succeed are mistaken. The importance of a strong SEO cannot be underestimated.

Just to get back to the basics: an SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization. SEO is the process in which visitation to your website is maximized by ensuring that your site appears as high as possible on the results of a search engine.

The key to being successful online is creating a strong brand; to do this you need to drive as much traffic to your website as possible. You will need to provide superior quality content that uses keywords to reflect what your user is looking for – this is where knowledge of your customer base comes in handy. By completing a thorough keyword search and applying this knowledge to each and every page on your website you are increasing your SEO rating.

When looking for a service on the internet many people start with an ‘organic search’ – this is when a person enters text (in the form of terms or a string of text) related to the service they desire. What pops up are lists of businesses related to their search. The goal of any business is to be as ‘high-up’ on the result page as possible. Many people are familiar with Google as the main search engine, but there are others like: Bing, Yahoo and Baidu. But Google is the leading search engine who owns approximately 75% of the overall market. Here are some important (and mind boggling) stats on Google:

• 90% of searches made on desktops are done via Google. (Statista)
• 35% of product searches start on Google. (eMarketer)
• 34% of “near me” searches done via desktop and tablets result in in-store visits. (HubSpot)
• The average Google search session lasts just under a minute.

It was also reported in 2018 that Google receives over 63,000 searches per second per day – which translates into 5.6 billion searches per day. The other search engines share roughly 25% of the remaining market. Google is also the most popular email provider in the world with more than 1 billion users.

If your website ranks high in an organic Google search it lends credibility to your business and brand that you have essentially been endorsed by Google. And in a competitive marketplace, where customers have dozens (if not more) brands to choose from, having a high-ranking SEO greatly increases your chances of success.
