What Is Search Engine Optimization (SEO), How Does It Work, And Why Is It So Important For Your Business?

Guide a potential clients online search directly to your page


Search engine optimization can be a confusing topic, so let’s start with the basics. Every time you open up a search engine (think Google, FireFox, and Microsoft Edge among many others) and type in a phrase or a question, the search engine beings to gather data from the internet which meticulously fits the criteria of your search query. If you query “Orlando Motorcycle Mechanic”, the engine will begin to take each word, both individually and contextually to produce a search result. So essentially, search engines use very complex algorithms to search about 22 million web pages they have indexed and deliver you the “perfect” result to your search. Terms like “near me” and “cheapest” or “highest reviewed” are also very common terms we use with SEO to drive your website results organically.

Search Engine Optimization

The quality and accessibility of your website will impact SEO.

Sticking with our original example, I open google and search “Orlando Motorcycle Mechanic.” The top three search results (that aren’t ads) will most likely be a website that responds very well regardless of what device you are on. Meaning, if I am on a phone, tablet, or desktop – the website will respond and act the same regardless of the device.

If your website performs poorly on one or more of these devices, it will likely fall lower on the search results and not get as many clicks or drive business to your website. Today’s search engines use more than 215 factors to influence your website’s placement in the results. So once again, SEO is a very important factor in getting your website seen.

SEO doesn’t care about flashy websites.

It’s important to note that SEO doesn’t see websites as we do. The way it is designed, it literally searches through the code that constructs your website for tags, content, site speed, page url’s, image alt tags, internal linking, and more. This is probably the most important thing to understand about the differences between having a fancy website and having a responsive and well maintained website in terms of SEO. You can absolutely have both but many times people fail to see the overwhelming value of SEO, so they build out a bloated website and hope this will drive potential customers to their landing page. This is, in most instances, very backwards. Function > beauty.

They are not driven by SEO or other organic means. If you’d like to learn more about PPC and how that could potentially benefit your business, please check our PPC FAQ.
