So I said, "Sure I'll see you at the RIO." This after two invitations to go to the Consumer Electronics Show on Friday and Saturday, an invitation to a private industry party that I couldn't make it to because of other meetings already arranged on Saturday night, and then finally fitting a time in to sit down and talk with her and figure out what she wanted to propose on Sunday Evening. (by the way the Affiliate Marketing Summit was starting this week...the place was a zoo! It took a few text messages to even find each other.)
Whew! What I got was a great schooling, in such a simple way, that I had to write about it.
What a concept! SEO! WOOHOOO! What the hell is SEO anyway? As I chuckle to myself, I have to think, "When we, the professionals sit there and talk to the "deer in the headlight syndrome" clients, about e-Marketing in general, do they really know what the heck we're talking about"?
Alright, so, for you veterans, sit down, shove a piece of coffee cake in your mouth from the break room, grab a cup of coffee, and let me get this out for our clients, the business owners, that don't speak Greek like we do.
SEO as an acronym means nothing to the average Joe. Even when spelled out most think, "huh?" Spelled out it means, "Search Engine Optimization". Again, "HUH?"
Let me speak in a language you can understand...in fact everyone understands this language; Money. It translates "Lead generation" into "conversion" in other words money, mullah, dolleros, denari....get it? Not necessarily directly into conversion, but definitely greater rates of conversion. I'll explain.
When someone goes online to find something they used to use what are called "keywords" as a means to find what they were looking for on the internet. In the old days that was easy since there were not so many providers of services and products. That's of course no longer true nowadays as everyone has a website now. So how does someone find you? In the mess of everyone else that is in your industry, it's a needle in a haystack search right? Wrong. This is where SEO comes in.
The search engines use certain rules of engagement to sort out who gets to be found. Those rules are applied to the net via their "search engine". You type in keywords and the engine finds what you're looking for...about 45,234,635 results to sort through... WHOA!
This is what you do, you hire someone that knows how to tweak your website enough that you get into the top ten, top three, or top spot. If you didn't know after page one, unless someone else is totally dominating the first page, that most people stop searching, you are most uninformed and at the mercy of your competitors business. So it pays to get on page one ok?
How you get on page one, is through coding, and tweaking, and other tricks of that trade that I can't even explain, nor do I care to.
This is the bottom line; if you don't have SEO, you don't have leads. You remember, leads? You know the thing that brings you sales? The thing that gets your business money? It's the reason you got a website in the first place remember? To get more leads and get more business?
What you weren't told by the guys that built your website is that you have to be submitted to the search engine(s), (so they know you're there) and then you have to get SEO and be monitored so you keep on the top ten at least. If not, you get bumped down continually until NO ONE SEES YOU!
Gosh that's harsh huh? But here's the good news; although it does cost to do this, there is a greater substantial return on investment as you are now picking up 80% average of traffic looking for your product or service. If you have the right company doing it for you, you will get the ranking you need, and the right response rate to your site, and if your site is designed correctly, it will get you leads or sales whichever your site is designed to do.
This is a two part series and next round I'm going give you some tips on how to make sure you get the best "guy" for the job.
Keep it Rolling!
