Every online business needs to invest in SEO (search engine optimization). SEO is a method of optimizing your website, both on and off-page, in order to maximize organic search traffic from Google
This is a warning to everyone that has an online business, an effective SEO strategy is a must! If you have any hesitation you would be making an enormous mistake by not leveraging the benefits of an SEO expert. The truth is unless your website is properly optimized both on and off-page you’re likely not ranking within Google’s first page results, which means you are unquestionably losing money every day.

There are well-over 2 billion people online. At least 93% of all online activities start on a search engine, mostly Google. There are 40,000 searches every second, and 3.5 billion searches per day. Which means that there are millions of opportunities for your business to be found. One of the most important benefits of SEO is that your potential customers are using search engines such as Google each and every day.
- 2. SEO pulls-in targeted high-quality traffic
Traffic that begins with a search for a particular product or service is the highest quality traffic. Why? Because people are actually searching for the product or service that you provide so you do not need advertisements to persuade people to buy, because the people searching are already interested in your products and services. This is why the SEO industry is projected to hit $80 billion by 2020.
- 3. SEO traffic is certainly more likely to convert
SEO traffic is much more likely to convert than any other sources of traffic. It’s a fact that search traffic has the highest conversion rates for most if not all websites. By positioning yourself in the #1 “coveted” position on Google you are positioning your business to win! When your website is in the #1 position on the first page of search results without paying for ads, you earn the trust and confidence of potential customers. Web users will interpret your good visibility on Google to mean that Google recommends you for your target search terms.
- 4. The First Page Wins
Research shows that more than 75% of users never scroll past the first page of search results with many never going past the first five results.

SEO is not a fairy tale. Businesses will increase their leads and sales if they are offering a worthwhile product or service. One of our small eCommerce clients generated over $2,737,454.89 in sales during 2017.
Nevertheless, a business must be willing to allocate the funds necessary to achieve these results. A winning SEO strategy will without doubt lead to much higher conversions for businesses both small and large.
- 6. SEO can decrease your cost per acquisition
