SEO Questions
Why SEO is important for your online success
There is an SEO joke that goes, “Where do you hide a dead body? On the second page of Google search results.”
There are billions of web pages. Try it out, google any keyword related to your product or service. You will see millions of results.
All these are competing for the first ten spots on the first page.
If you are not on the first page, you will not get people visiting your website. SEO helps you get there.
How SEO helps your business
SEO helps your website to rank high in SERPs (Search Engine Results Page).
Done right, SEO makes you visible and accessibly to search engines like Google, Bing, Yahoo, and others who drive free organic traffic your website.
Website traffic convert to sales leads in your pipeline or funnel and buyers for your products.
SEO helps your business grow on autopilot.
Can I expect more website traffic through SEO?
SEO eventually pays off when your site crawls its way to the first page of Google.
When it does, expect quality traffic to your website.
Note that traffic does not automatically lead to sales. You need good content and tested Call to Actions on your site.
Are SEO’s worth it
If you work with an SEO agency focused on measurable results, then SEO is worth every rand.
Often once you rank high in Google and on other SERPs, you will stay there for a long while or until your competitor creates better content than you do.
As long as you are on the first page of Google, expect a constant drip of emails and calls to your business.
How long does SEO take to show results?
This depends on two things:
- How competitive your keyword and industry is.
- What SEO strategies and efforts you take.
Low competition keywords and local SEO can take anywhere between 3-6 months to get to the first page of Google.
Competitive niches can go to 1-2 years of consistent SEO efforts to crack the first page of SERPs.
How often should you do SEO
As often as you can.
The frequency depends on your industry and how active your competitors are with their SEO.
For a local and low competition sector, you may see results from SEO even from one SEO campaign.
Fierce competition, however, requires you to do SEO regularly, weekly or monthly at the very least.
Between PPC or SEO, which one is more helpful for growing a business?
Both PPC (Pay Per Click – Ads) or SEO have their place in digital marketing.
PPC drives instant results while SEO is long term.
If you have the budget, use PPC to drive traffic for time-sensitive offers and reserve SEO for long term traffic goals.
In terms of ROI, SEO trumps PPC anytime.
How to choose a good SEO company/agency?
SEO is about results. The best SEO companies should show commitment to helping you achieve your business online.
Ask about the SEO strategies they employ – blackhat strategies are worse than doing nothing at all.
For long term relationships, look for a fit and nimble to adapt to changing SEO trends
