Paying for advertising is expensive. 84% of Google’s revenue in 2019 was derived from advertising. Those ads that appear in the middle of articles and scattered throughout organic search results, that’s all Google Advertising.
The scary thing is, Google Advertising (AdWords) is getting more expensive by the day. In order to reduce paid advertising and create a lasting and sustainable revenue stream for your business, you need SEO.
To get seen by potential customers, your site and its content need to be optimized so that Google can read it and visitors can enjoy it. SEO is a delicate balancing act; your website needs to appeal to Google without sacrificing the user experience.
Google doesn’t want to show just any website to its searchers, it wants to show websites that are valuable to the user. Search Engine Optimisation is about understanding how to curate information in a way that search engines can understand, and users can enjoy.
