In today’s digital age, businesses must know how to direct customers to its products and services in the most efficient way possible. Often, a company’s online success is determined by how easily people can access and navigate its website, how well a site is structured, and how visible it is on popular search engines. As a result, an increasing number of businesses are turning to search engine optimization (SEO) to boost their presence and ensure customers have a positive online experience.
According to a 2016 study by Forrester, one of the world’s leading research and advisory firms, 93% of online experiences begin with a search engine, making SEO an essential asset to help generate leads and maximize profits. Without investing in SEO, a website can get lost in the vast sea of virtual information and hinder customers from completing a purchase. In fact, according to extensive research by Startup Compass Inc., conversions can fall by approximately 12% for every second it takes a website to load—an issue that can be resolved with onsite enhancements.
TargetSEO offers businesses the opportunity to apply the industry’s best SEO strategies to increase online visibility and content on search engine results pages. Doing so takes research, planning, execution and clear reporting, however, investing in SEO can lower total expenses and raise brand recognition within as quickly as six months.
