Search engine optimization. It’s the key to getting traffic on your website, and where every excellent website marketing strategy begins. According to studies performed by Nielson, by January 2004, one in three consumers were turning to search engines for their online shopping, with the most popular search engines being Google, Yahoo, and MSN. If your small business doesn’t have a high search engine placement, even the consumers who are specifically looking for the product or service that you offer won’t be able to find you. Your website won’t get the traffic, and you won’t make the sale.
Currently, there are many books and tutorials available to small business owners explaining how search engine optimization works and how to get a higher search engine placement. “All you have to do” to attract the spiders search engines send out to evaluate and rank your website is increase your keyword density, improve your meta tags, redesign your page structure, change your link structure, alternate the site theme, and one or two more “easy” things. Educating yourself on how to market your website to improve your search engine placement is a lengthy process and can take several months to carry out. And you had better not make any mistakes or try any shortcuts, or a search engine may kick you out of its hunt altogether!
As a small business owner, you already wear many hats. Instead of trying to wear one more, why not hire search engine optimization professionals who already know exactly how to improve your website marketing strategy and increase your search engine placement?
