Why websites need SEO
​The role of Seo getting websites to the top Google positions for their preferred search terms.

​There are many ways to build sites today, and many designers who build sites that look very good ... but optimizing websites and achieving top search positions on Google page one is much more difficult. If you need your website in top spots ... hire a designer who can do SEO.

Real "Free Search" Sections Versus the "Paid Ads":
Sometimes people click the "ads" sections in searches but statistics show most people SKIP the "ads" and go straight to the "free search results websites" that are positioned at or near the top of page ONE.

People often "Trust" free results for websites that Google determines deserve to be on page 1 in the top spots more than the websites in the paid "Ads".

Want to be found online?
If you want your website to be at the top of Google searches...
for your type of product or business service, then your site must be built with search engine optimization, aka (SEO).
 

Onsite SEO and off site.
Both are important! A well optimized site is absolutely mandatory, with external SEO efforts too.

SEO for your site and online profiles needs to be updated and maintained.
​Getting to the top is really hard, staying there needs work for years to come. 
This can be a GREAT TOOL to build your business and bring NEW CLIENTS.

Top search engine positions on Google searches are possible with the right SEO campaign, link structures and strategies.

SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION IS A MANDATORY PART OF YOUR ONLINE CAMPAIGN TO GET YOUR WEBSITE TO THE TOP OF GOOGLE AND OTHER SEARCH ENGINE RESULTS.​

• Why is your site buried for your targeted search terms? The words that bring new customers, the "generic words people might type in a Google search" to find your kind of business, your service areas, your kind of products... ​
  

• GOOGLE needs words, that's what "content writing" is. Especially for new sites with no established history or incoming clicks. Online competition may be fierce. Your family and friends are not enough. Word of mouth is great but today so many people search online and Google is the number one search engine.

If you just want a simple basic site, build it yourself.
​If you need to spend your time working on your biz and you need customers online asap... hire someone good at SEO to build your site.

SEO is demanding... It's not enough to add keywords and metatags to your site. So much more goes into it if it is a competitive niche.

If you really need your site at the top of the king of search engines... Google, then it's important to hire a designer with proven SEO success.
It takes months, expect six months to a year really, but I have had top results come quicker... also keep in mind not to build too fast, the incoming links, ongoing site developement and SEO should be paced out. You don't want Google to think you are creating useless spam links. Never buy cheap bulk links... they only hurt your SEO. Unique, fresh content is very important, don't duplicate anything either.

Everywhere all over the internet and on TV, there are advertisements to build websites for "free", build sites yourself, etc... If you have time, give it a go! 

But realize "free" is not always really free, it may be very limited, and building sites and learning about SEO, and creating link structures are very time consuming tasks. SEO is not really taught in design schools, design is, coding is, graphics, etc... but not SEO. Tons of designers can't do it. YOU may be able to teach yourself, analyze your competitors sites, keep studying and create a great SEO campaign too... or maybe your competition is so minimal, you barely need any seo... but if it's competitive, you'll need that time to run your business, so hiring a designer is the right option.
