Search Engine Optimization
What is Search Engine Optimization (SEO)?
f you desire more visibility and better results for your e-commerce platform without paid ads, Search Engine Optimization (SEO) should be your go-to tactic. Its aim is to attract organic, non-paid traffic to your website by pushing it to the top of Google, Yahoo, and other search engines.
The key component is website optimization, for instance, by creating high-quality content and adding the right keywords that will satisfy the search engine’s requirements. Since SEO deals in “organic” rankings, it requires a combination of creativity and engaging content to achieve your goal – especially since buying your way to a higher position is not an option with this method.
What do you get with SEO?
Apart from the financial benefit of SEO over paid ad tactics, it offers several specific advantages:
- More visibility & traffic: The higher your website ranks on any search engine such as Google, the more traffic you’ll attract, naturally.
- Better website quality: Putting out impactful high-quality content is the basis for successful SEO. In essence, aiming to improve your SEO also forces you to “do better”.
- Trust from consumers: Seeing a high-ranking website is a vote of trust in itself and gives you credibility in the eyes of the search engine user. People would naturally assume that your website receives a substantial amount of traffic for a reason and that the first couple of links on Google are the most trustworthy.
- Long-term growth: While SEO isn’t as quick to give results as SEM in the beginning, it builds upon itself over time and can lead to great long-term results that last.
