SEO stands for “search engine optimization.” It is the process of
getting traffic from the “free,” “organic,” “editorial” or “natural”
listings on search engines. All major search engines such as Google, Yahoo and Bing
have such results, where web pages and other content such as videos or
local listings are shown and ranked based on what the search engine
considers most relevant to users.
Demand of SEO at Market Places:
“On-demand” marketing, such as Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and Social Media Marketing puts you in front of buyers when they are looking for you,
whether in Bend, Oregon or beyond. It ensures that you stay at the top
of the collective mind we call the Internet and keep your sales brisk.
Granted, a balanced marketing plan will include focused traditional media in its portfolio to complement your SEO strategies. Publications like Cascade Business News
effectively target local business and help to build and maintain your
brand in your community. But if you don’t have a good SEO strategy in
place, you are most likely missing out on a lot of “ready-to-buy”
traffic.
A well-designed website with strategic messaging combined with SEO is
crucial for reaching your audience when they are ready to buy. SEO
improves volume and quality of traffic to your website from the major
search engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing via organic search results.
Be careful though, as there are a lot of scams and empty promises out
there. One-shot strategies and quick fixes can get you penalized on the
search engines. A good SEO firm will work to place and keep your website in the upper rankings of search engine results when selected keyword phrases are queried. Intrepid Marketing starts by
analyzing the keywords of a client’s site and how highly it ranks when
frequently-searched terms are entered into the search engines.
