It is essential that you at least have the SEO basics within your website, titles, headings, and SEO keywords, so that web traffic heads your way. However don't be overly concerned with being number one, remember your business is the most important factor. Some companies get carried away with being at number one on google, when often this may not be cost effective.

SEO is basically a system of internet marketing and is probably the most cost effective. Essentially it’s a device to send internet traffic to your site. There are basically two methods of driving traffic to your website, advertising and SEO. With advertising you find the customers and with SEO the customers find you. Clearly customers, who are actively searching for your product, are customers you know are already interested parties. Good quality and cost effective traffic can be brought through to your website. This has led to the development of a whole industry of search engine optimisation consultants that revolves around how to make web pages / websites more search engine friendly or in other words better search engine optimized.

SEO is important, however for smaller companies, it’s probable that many of your clients have come to you via networking or word of mouth or your business card i.e. they have arrived at your website directly. How many of your clients actually arrive at your site via your SEO, and how many arrive directly, this is where web analytics become an invaluable source of information, this will give you the statistics that tell you where your browsers are arriving from and what works and what does not.

Many people trawl the net hell bent on finding the cheapest products, if that's not your market, use your SEO to attract the clients you do want. Most businesses are price conscious but work on forming relationships.

Once potential clients are on your site don’t waste your opportunity with a poorly performing website. This is where good web design can excel and increase your conversions by instilling confidence.
