Why do we need to do SEO?
One of the most important role of SEO is
increasing visibility, which means making it easier for visitor to find you
when they search for something you have to offer. Visibility is directly
related to your ranking. The higher you rank on a search engine result page
(SERP), the more likely people will see you and click through to your site, so
it’s key to increase your organic page ranking. The more effective your SEO
efforts, the higher your ranking and the better your visibility, which is
mainly important when you consider that a quarter of web users never click past
the first SERP.
Web Traffic
Increased web traffic is one of the main
goals of SEO, and you rise traffic when you increase visibility and rankings.
Consider this for a moment: the #1 spot on a Google search gets nearly 32% of
clicks and moving up just one spot in search results can increase CTR by an
amazing 30.8%.The golden grail for many marketers is the ‘Featured Snippet’
which is often mentioned to as position #0 as it appears above the first ranked
URL. This is normally content that’s taken from a landing page on a blog that
answers a question people are searching for and can give your organic
click-through a huge boost. So, if you want more people to visit your website
through a search engine, then you need to use SEO practices that will help you
rank among the top five positions, and ideally number one.
Authority:
Page Authority (PA) is increasingly important
to search engines as it’s becoming major to web users. Essentially, authority
means that your website is reliable, high quality, relevant, and has something
to offer. Scores range from 1 to 100 and the higher your number, the more power
your site has. You can find your PA rating by using tools such as Moz and while
it's difficult to effect it, many SEO experts believe it’s to do with link
profile - getting external links from acceptable and well visited sources.
Creating a Better Visitor Experience
Another reason SEO is critical is because all
the time you put into creating great content and on-page SEO optimization improves
the usability of your site. This generates a absolute and positive customer
experience. For instance, when you take steps to make your site reactive, it
will make it usable for all your mobile visitors as well as people who visit
from a laptop or desktop. Similarly, by increasing your page load speed, you'll
decrease your bounce rate and encourage visitors to spend longer on your site.
Consumers hope for a page to load as quickly as possible with a limit on
loading to not creep past three seconds! The longer the load time, the higher
the bounce rate and the lower your conversions.
