But Why Invest in SEO?

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is a growth marketing strategy used by businesses to increase the amount of times they appear in the organic search results for a relevant search query. SEO is entirely organic, meaning that webmasters don’t have to pay search engines to be indexed and displayed for a given search result.

By offering the most relevant webpage content for a user search query, businesses are more likely to be displayed high on the search engine results page (SERP) for a relevant search query. Users are more likely purchase and subscribe from brands who rank highly in the search results.

By investing in SEO you can:

Increase storefront foot traffic by providing users with the info. they need to to find your business
Increase your subscriber count
Gather email and personal contact information for remarketing
Increase your amount of followers over organic social media channels
Familiarize prospective customers with your brand
Grow the size of your business

In fact, a recent Search Engine Journal study found that SEO has the highest ROI of any other digital marketing channel available.
