SEO- A part of Internet marketing strategy
SEO is not the be all and end all - it is just one part of your
Internet Marketing strategy. According to Brand Week Online
Magazine: "Search engine positioning may be just one part of an
online marketing strategy,but it is the fundamental part. It's
the baseline."
It is found that Search Engine Effectiveness report on the brand
lift from textual paid search results, found that high search
engine listings drive the highest awareness or branding for a
website. Consumers recall websites 60% of the time from search
engine listings numbers 1-3, and only 20% for banner ads and
tiles.
For years companies have identified audiences and target
markets, crafted messages and used mass media to deliver those
messages in the hope that the right person will read them and
respond. Now we have people searching on the Internet for
products, services and information. They are actively online
looking for what they need and want.
When the keywords are tapped relevant to our industry and find
the viable pockets of search that will lead qualified,
interested people to your website, then also it is necessary to
optimize the site because if you are not in those search
results, your competitors will be.
Content will always be king - people go to a website for the
content. A site has to be usable and interesting and it has to
meet the expectations of the searcher. But it has to be found
first. There has to be a balance between visibility and
usability.
It's a two edged sword if your site is never found. You could
have the most perfect website, but no one will ever see it. And
if you are ranked number one on all search engines on all your
major keywords and phrases, but when the visitor gets to your
site there is no relevant and useful content that will deliver
what they were online searching for in the first place, what's
the point? They will be gone in two seconds.
Being visible and being usable are not mutually exclusive they
are joined at the hip. Using SEO as part of overall brand and Internet
marketing strategy positions the industry at the higher
rankings.
