When it comes to your manufacturing website, Driven Digital’s Search Engine Optimization or SEO specialists say SEO is more important now than it has ever been before.
What Does SEO Have To Do With Marketing My Manufacturing Company?
Search engines such as Google, Yahoo, and Bing have ever-changing SEO formulas or algorithms that determine where a website appears within the results pages of a person’s search.
The closer to the top a website falls, the better. Why? When a search engine yields results, it presents to the user a list of sites it has crawled in order of what it views as most relevant to the search terms. Therefore, if your website is towards the top, it is more likely to be clicked on by a potential customer than if it appears further down the list.
That is why our specialists claim SEO remains one of the single most important components of any organization’s branding efforts and online presence. “Without SEO, people will have a very hard time finding you and will instead find your competitors”.
Search Engine Optimization is not a game of chance but is instead something that requires constant effort to yield great results. In their article, “Five Ways to Improve Your Site’s Ranking (SEO)“, Michigan Tech recommends manufacturers begin with the following to jumpstart a website’s SEO.
