It's a jungle out there on the web. How are your customers going to find you? Without targeted SEO, many of them won't.
You remember that old philosophical riddle. If a tree falls in the woods, and no
one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? The answer is simple: who cares?
No one saw it, no one heard it, so it’s completely irrelevant. A beautiful,
informative website is virtually invisible if no one knows it's there.
Or if all the people who visit it are really looking for something else entirely.
That’s what Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is all about. Making sure that
the people who want what you're offering can find your site and hear your offer.
Effective SEO means writing code and content for search engines as well as people.
Sound weird? Well, look at it this way. Every time you plug a question or a keyword
into your Google search box, you’re retrieving information collected by squirrely
robots. They crawl the web picking up keywords and code tags, then make decisions
about whether or not a website is doing what it says it does, and doing it well
enough to make it to the top of the rankings.
What this means for you as a business is that you can have a gorgeous, highly-functional
site and an amazing, indispensible product or service, but still be a Google Wallflower.
That’s right. Google and other search engines won’t ask your site to dance unless
it conforms to certain standards. Without the proper keywords, metatags (titles
and descriptions in your HTML), and relevant content, your site is a tree falling
on deaf ears.
