What is Search Engine Optimization (SEO)?
SEO is the ongoing practice of optimizing a website by improving internal and external aspects in order to increase the traffic the website receives from search engines. To optimize your website for search engines means to attempt getting top placements in the results pages whenever selected search phrases are typed into the search query box. Search engines typically have two types of listings: those that are paid for, which are usually distinguished as "sponsored links" and those that are organic. Search Engine Optimization means optimizing for the non paid listings.
Why does my company/organization/website need SEO?
The majority of web traffic is driven by the major commercial search engines - Google, Bing and Yahoo!. If your website cannot be found by search engines or your content is not put into context for your target audience you miss out on the incredible opportunities available to websites provided via search - people who are interested in your products and/or services. Whether your website provides content, services, products, or information, search engines are the primary method of navigation for almost all Internet users.
Search queries, the words that user’s type into the search box which contain terms and phrases best suited to your site, carry extraordinary value depending on how well they correspond to what you are offering. The amount of web traffic that search engines refer can make (or break) an organization's success. Capturing the right visitors can provide publicity, revenue, and exposure that no marketing campaign can reproduce. An investment in SEO, whether through time or money, can have an exceptional rate of return.
Why can't the search engines figure out my site without SEO help?
Search engines are always working towards improving their technology to crawl the web more deeply and return increasingly relevant results to users. However, there is and will always be a limit to how search engines can operate. Whereas, the right actions can get you thousands of visitors and attention, the wrong actions can hide or bury your site deep in the search results where visibility is minimal. Making good content available to search engines will improve your visibility there but can also help boost visibility in social media through visitors who like to share good content. The online environment is becoming increasingly competitive, cooperative and interactive and the companies who perform well in SEO will have a decided advantage in visitors and customers.
