What is SEO?
Search engine optimization or SEO is the act of getting your website ranked on search engines for both branded and non-branded keywords or phrases. This often leads to enhanced brand visibility, increased traffic, and more engagement with a target audience.
This means optimizing both your website and your building your businesses online footprint all around the web.
Why is SEO Important?
When most people buy something online, they research on Google first. Google is the only platform out there where people research what they buy before making a purchase. Being ranked on Google means your Edmonton business is apart of this sales cycle.
Studies have shown SEO to have the highest return of investment (ROI) over any other internet marketing form. When you compare Pay-Per-Click, it is like renting the first-place spot. The moment you stop, it goes away. With SEO, you own the top spot and need to maintain it.
When you create SEO optimized content around the internet, it shows you to be an authority figure in your niche. This increases trust between you and a potential buyer, thereby capturing in the mid-sales cycle.
Should I use SEO or PPC?
This is a more complex question, and it depends on your business goals. SEO is more like a marathon than a sprint, so keep in mind the style of marketing you want.
Search engine optimization has a higher return on investment but takes longer to achieve results whereas pay-per-click has a more immediate impact, but not as good of a return. Both should be used to achieve optimal results.

Do I need a site audit?
You don’t need a site audit, but it is strongly recommended (strongly recommended [notice how we said that twice] ) to avoid any site penalizations. It’s so important we include it in our Edmonton managed SEO plans. If you want just service fulfillment – we can do that too – simple select from the a la carte options on our site.
