Description

Learn how to get your business noticed by improving your SEO strategy with keywords, KPIs, Analytics and more.

Understanding the purpose of SEO means that you can concentrate of producing a great site, with great content. Not understanding the fundamentals means you worry about how to show up in the search results, and likely spend time chasing the wrong strategies.

Search engine optimization is not a trick or a one time process; it's a way of life for the most successful sites on the web and it has moved far beyond how many times the keywords appear on the page, or how many links you can build. When done properly, search engine optimization seamlessly tracks alongside all the other marketing initiatives within your organization in much the same way "good writing" or "compelling graphics" is a standard.

Ignoring SEO has the same impact as ignoring any other crucial part of your marketing plan. If you want to grow the traffic to your website, you must focus on making your website fundamentally sound for the search engines and balancing that effort with providing a great experience for your visitors. 

Importance of Search Engine Optimization

Search engine optimization has been an important part of online marketing since the late 1990's. In the last five years its importance has skyrocketed.

Appearing on the first page of Google is now the goal of millions of companies and thousands of marketing managers. Getting there is in some ways harder than ever, yet in other ways, it's never been easier if you have a legitimate brand/business and know the fundamentals.

For brands trying to manipulate Google's ranking signals to trick them into ranking them higher than they normally would, the hill is inhumanly steep. For brands who put their resources into helping their community, making their customers smarter and offering help in a transparent way, the doors are wide open.

This is the time to pivot your old online marketing ideas to align with the new reality of search engine optimization.

With the following information, you will be prepared to begin a career as an SEO, to be able to confidently manage and direct the efforts of any SEO vendors for your organizations while monitoring for bad practices, to be able to coordinate initiatives across your organization that will improve your search exposure.
