SEO: The Basics
Bryan Driscoll explains that SEO (search engine optimization) is a website ranking in the maps and the free section of Google (after the three or four preceding paid ads). Essentially, we are optimizing the content of your website to be relevant, says Driscoll. “We are trying to get your site to rank higher in Google. Obviously, if you rank #1 or #2, then you’re getting a lot more traffic than if you’re ranking 10th in your category.” The idea is to try to get to the top of the search engine and get traffic to your website organically.
Important Elements
- Branding, website design, logo
- SEO – organically appearing in whatever people were searching
- Keyword research – exploring some of the different ways people search for your product/service will help you gain more organic traffic.
Bryan Driscoll adds, “You want people to search for you on an informational level, but you also want action-driven searches. For example, says Bryan, you will see a big difference if you do a keyword search for ‘sell my house’ versus ‘sell my home fast.’ “So with the right keywords on your website and/or blog, you are pre-vetting people, so to speak.”
PPC Ads (Pay Per Click)
Driscoll also asserts the importance of investing in Google Pay-per-click ads and Facebook ads because of the sheer exposure it will give your company. It does, however, take a combination of SEO and paid ads to generate web growth. He uses the analogy, “Paid ads are like renting a house; SEO is like owning a house.” If you do paid ads, you will see results immediately. But as soon as you stop buying ads, your growth stops. SEO, on the other hand, may take 4-6 months until it starts working for you. It takes time and patience, but it is organic growth. It doesn’t go away.
