Think You Know SEO




SEO is a fancy acronym for Search Engine Optimization. So what is SEO exactly? Think of it as your online business card. SEO is the most important, yet most neglected element of a website. Without website Search Engine Optimization companies actually lose traffic to their sites as potential customers are unable to locate them.


You want your website to be striking to the search engines so they will give you a top 10 rankings in their search results. These search engines send out crawlers to look for websites who think you are credible and then they use an algorithm to determine where you should rank. Crawlers rank your site based on meeting particular criteria and strategically place your site within their search engine results.


One of the misnomers people have about SEO is they believe having a new website or domain will automatically give them high search engine rankings. The truth is search engines reward older domains in the manner of giving them higher rankings.



Hiring an SEO consulting firm rather than relying on your own knowledge gives you the advantage on the web by increasing product and client awareness. A better way to justify the added expense of hiring an outside firm; can you afford to lose business?
