How Does Your Website Rank?
You've spent thousands of dollars on your company's website. Now what? How are you going to drive traffic to the website? With most customers using the Internet to actively look for solutions, products and services, search engine optimization, or SEO, is the way to go. And if your company relies on search engines to bring visitors to your website, your business will lag behind its competitors unless your site is optimized for search results.
SEO is the process of improving the volume and quality of traffic to a website from search engines via unpaid search results as opposed to search engine marketing, or SEM, which deals with paid results. Typically placement at or near the top of the rankings increases the number of searchers who will visit a site.
So what is the value of an SEO program?
Sales and Leads - Increasing keyword rankings on search engines where customers are actively searching for products and services can increase traffic and sales.
Customer Service - A lot of SEO is focused on acquiring customers; many marketers lose sight of customer service after the sale. Making information easier to find through major search engines can increase customer service levels or potentially reduce costs associated with customer service support.
