What is SEO?
I speak and exhibit at many business and digital expos throughout the UK and one thing visitors always ask me is – “So, what actually is SEO?” and the people that have already heard of SEO, a lot of them say something like “Ah, SEO is where you get words to the top of the Google thingy”. I just take it for granted that anyone who owns a website would already know what SEO is but that is definitely not the case and my explanation is to help you understand how I think about SEO!
SEO or Search Engine Optimisation (to me) is a digital marketing technique used to drive people who are looking for your product or service, to your website instead of your competitors’ site when they search (on search engines such as Google, Bing and Yahoo) for things related to what you offer. As long as the page they land on relates to what they are looking for, a percentage of these visitors will contact you or purchase your product.
I could go into a lot more detail but I don’t want to bore you. All you need to understand is SEO done right and strategically will help your business to grow.
My Latest SEO Articles
As an established SEO and digital marketing author that writes for newspapers, magazines and top industry blogs, I really enjoy sharing my opinions, thoughts and knowledge as I have a unique 'tell them how it is' style of writing. I don't believe in hiding the truth from anyone and don't believe in writing trashy articles that have been re-hashed thousand times before as quite frankly, they provide very little value to my audience and followers. All articles published are 100% my own work and I never use ghost writers so you get a real taste of what goes on in my head.
