If you’ve been considering how to best market your business or your products online, you have probably seen the abbreviation SEO. So, just exactly what is SEO, you might ask. What in the world does SEO have to do with being visible on the internet? Why is SEO important to your business?
Being visible on the internet is not just important. It is vital in today's marketing world. Looking for something on the internet can be compared to looking for a friend in an overcrowded store. You are more than likely to notice the individuals that are dressed in the designated store's uniform first. Large stores require their employees to wear uniforms for a reason. Their employees are instantly very visible. So, being visible helps customers find the representatives of the stores very quickly so that they might ask a question or purchase something. It is the same principle that applies to the internet. There are many millions of online websites. So that potential customers are able to find you first, you MUST have a very strong and visible online presence. That takes some work. Search engine optimization, or SEO, is a very important way to achieve that visibility.
In a nutshell, Search Engine Optimization raises your website, blog posts, and social media posts to the top of search engine listings (like Google). In other words, when a potential customer enters a keyword for a Google search, the goal is to have your company come up first in the search listings. DMEI wants you to be in the front and center of your industry.
