You’ve got a cool website with fantastic products. You’ve got the lowest prices around and awesome shipping options. Of course customers are going to naturally start flocking to your site. You don’t need search engine optimization (SEO), right? Not so much. Let’s say that your site is the best around. As soon as someone sees it, they are bound to buy from you. But how is anyone ever going to see your site if they can’t find it in a search engine?
The fact is that most web traffic is driven by the major search engines–Google, Yahoo!, Bing and their brethren. Alright, you say, I’ll go ahead and place paid ads on those sites, then. That’s not enough. Don’t get me wrong–we definitely think that pay-per-click advertising has its place in your marketing campaign, and we’ll be happy to help you explore that option as well. But you can’t neglect organic search traffic just because you’ve paid to appear for certain terms on Google. Most people prefer to click on organic search results rather than the paid advertisers at the top of the page. And for people to click on your link, they have to see your link. Yes, without optimization, your site will still likely show up in Google search results. The problem is, it’ll most likely be pretty far down in the rankings for the keywords that matter. Search engine users don’t generally go past the first three pages of search results, or even just the first page. So if your site isn’t listed in the top results, potential customers will never even know your site exists.
