What is SEO, Exactly?
Let’s start off with a few terms that you need to know. The SEO in Socially Savvy SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization, which is a necessary tool to get your core products and pages found on the front page of Google search. SEO is the process of getting “traffic”, and no I’m not talking about the kind of traffic you see on 610 on a Monday afternoon. The “traffic” I am referring to is from “natural”, ”free”, ”organic”, or “editorial” listings on search engines. The most widespread search engines that implement SEO into their listings are Google, Yahoo, and Bing, that rank based on what the search engine considers most relevant to users, like you, on the web.
How SEO = Results
So why is SEO so fundamental to any business? Essentially, SEO positions your websitecorrectly to be found at critical points in the buying process when people are looking for your brand or services.
