SEO, or search engine optimization, is a combination of tools and techniques that rank a company’s website higher on Google to organically funnel more traffic to the website to convert the user with a sale. SEO helps a website’s organic growth, which refers to the unpaid ranking of a website (compared to a paid Google Ad, which will rank your page #1 at the top of the page). The issue with running a Google Ad for a competitive industry is that it can be cost-prohibitive to run year-round.

There are a multitude of factors that Google uses to facilitate a high rank. In order of importance, the features that improve SEO include crawl accessibility (so search engines can index the website), great content, optimized keywords that fit particular searches, a satisfying user experience, internal and external links, speed of the website, shareable content, title and URL description, and schema markup.

Put simply, SEO is successful when you prove to search engines that your content is the most fitting for a particular search query. SEO leads to brand exposure and an increase in quantity and quality of customers.

SEO is not an overnight process. It takes months to build up a website’s credibility and organic searches. Content that is tailored to a particular website and embedded with SEO takes a while to curate. Once the content and SEO factors are up and running, it can take a few months for Google to index and rank the content.

Once the credibility is established and the rank increases, the influx of traffic and engagement to the website is unparalleled. This can be the difference between your business receiving no new customers to receiving inquiries and capitalizing on new customers frequently. It can take anywhere between 3 to 9 months to see an improvement in rankings.
