Investing in a website is something that many people have tried without much success. But then there are a few who have used it much like the creation of Unsplash to drive millions of visits to the company’s core offering making them a success.
So should you consider investing in a website as a growth strategy?
Many businesses have grown organically and the owners of these companies are not aware of how they could use SEO to drive business growth, or even what SEO is. This causes them to miss out on an opportunity for new customers and sales that would otherwise be available if they were more knowledgeable about search engine optimization (SEO). They also may believe that it’s too expensive and time-consuming when there are other strategies that can be employed to help grow their company.
The good news is that with proper planning, research, investment, and implementation – you can see significant improvement in your organic search traffic without spending hours upon hours each month optimizing your site manually. This post and podcast will walk through some things to consider before making an investment into a website using SEO as one potential growth strategy for your business.
