Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

SEO: What Is It? How Does it Work?

In short, SEO is making your site more popular in search engines. Think of your website as a speck of sand in the desert. Without showing your audience where to look, it is easy to get swamped by the sea of sand. ADVYON excels in white hat SEO practices which place your website in the top spots organically on all of the major search engines for your chosen keywords.

What Is White Hat SEO?

White hat SEO means we use optimization strategies, techniques, and tactics which focus on a human audience instead of just search engines. It also means we follow search engine rules and policies. White hat SEO means we don’t cut corners and we are setting up your website to be a long-term investment. 

The alternative is black hat SEO, where the end goal is basically to beat the search engine algorithm rather than solve for the user. Black hat SEO works sometimes, but usually not for long, and often at a penalty to your website. 

With ADVYON’s white hat SEO tactics, we focus on:

• Optimizing your site so it has the opportunity to rank well, usually in the top 5 organic (non-advertisement section) in today’s search engines
• Utilizing all available search engine resources to get your site ranked in the top 5 of organic rankings
• Making use of link building and traffic sharing
• Maintaining a top 5 position in search engine rankings of the chosen keywords for your pages.

So Why Do I Need It, Is It Worth It?

In today’s world, it is imperative for every business to have a website. You have competition on the web. LOTS of competition! Ranking higher in search engines ensures your website will have a leg up on the competition. 

Today’s web searchers are lazy. We all want the right information as fast as possible, so even if your competition doesn’t do something as well as you do, if they do something similar and are ahead of you in the search rankings, it is possible your site gets missed altogether. Your potential customers will miss the boat entirely, and your site will not be as successful as it could be.

Here are some benefits of having a good SEO campaign and being first:

• Capture more market share
• Establishes your company as the “Go-To” in your industry
• Lets you set the standard for your products, prices, and services for your market
• Increases your bottom line
• SEO is the CHEAPEST form of long term, proven marketing with the greatest results
