It’s no secret that internet users have notoriously short attention spans. If they can’t find what they’re looking for immediately, they change the search parameters and try again. Unfortunately, this means brands who don’t rank on page one of Google are less likely to rack up the clicks. After all, if it’s not on page one, does it even exist? As far as today’s busy Googlers are concerned, probably not. Don’t panic, our team of digital marketing mappers are well versed in all things SEO (that’s search engine optimisation), and they have the tools and skills to help you climb those rankings.
So, where do we start on this complicated subject? Let’s take it back to the beginning – your business is now online, woohoo, and now you need search engines, such as Google, to find you organically. To do this, you need to optimise your website with a solid SEO plan, starting with strategically planned and keyworded content to give Google an idea of what your site is all about, and when they should display your website in their search results. The journey to page one won’t happen overnight, but if you have the right SEO company based in Durban on board (that’s us), you’ll steadily begin climbing those rankings.
