3 Surprising Benefits of SEO Marketing

It’s no surprise that the Internet is affecting business traffic in a major way. With over 4.66 billion active users, consumers have begun to rely heavily on search engines to tell them everything they need to know -- including where to shop and which businesses they should support. As a result, search engine optimization (SEO) has become essential for companies of all sizes and industries, ensuring that traffic is directed to their sites.

Let’s take a look at three of the beneficial ways SEO can improve your search marketing strategy.

Enhance the User Experience (UX)

There are a lot of websites on the Internet. With consumer attention waning after just six seconds, it’s vital that you provide an online experience that will capture that attention long enough for customers to decide how they feel about your business, which ultimately improves your chances of making a sale. Removing clutter, simplifying site navigation, offering a mobile-friendly site, and improving website speeds can all enhance the user experience.

Establish Brand Credibility

Consumers are always more likely to choose from the top few results when they search for something online. While there are several underhanded tactics companies can use to get ranked higher, quality always shines through in the end. Only by establishing your business as credible and trustworthy -- through the use of high-quality backlinks, on-page optimization, and user signals -- will customers and search engines alike see that your business is the best option.

Increase Customer Insight and Intelligence 

Search engines push websites that will provide the most value to searchers, meaning that the companies that own and design those sites (and their content) are forced to consider their consumers in a significant way if they want to be ranked higher. The better you understand your customers and what they care about, the better you’ll be able to cater to their interests and needs.

SEO is an extremely valuable tool in today’s technological world. Companies looking to gain a competitive edge will need to understand their consumers beyond simply providing a valued product or service; SEO can help guarantee that all of their customers’ needs are being met.
