Why Bother With SEO & Content Marketing?

posted on June 9, 2016

Can you get more traffic to your site with SEO and content marketing? Sure, but why!

We all know that optimizing your website for search engines and creating great content will bring people to your site. The steps and strategies for doing this are countless. However, we don’t always take the time to stop and ask ourselves why were’re doing this.

What benefit is it to have more people simply look at a website and move on with their day?

We’re going to delve into conversion rate optimization to discover how to get the most from the traffic you have, before worrying about getting more visitors.

Sure, you’ll learn a thing or two about SEO and content marketing while you’re here. However, the primary focus will be on the reasons you want more traffic and what those visitors can do for you.
