Overwhelmed by SEO? You Need a Consistent Practice. Semrush can help.

If you are like me, just thinking about SEO is overwhelming.    SEO stands for  search engine optimization.  It might sound like a fantasy entity   that you know is important, but have no idea how to tame. Or maybe you have no clue as to what it is in the first place. For a long time, I understood the meaning of the words “search engine optimization” but I struggled to comprehend what SEO truly meant let alone how to use it to my advantage.    If that sounds like you, don’t worry.    Let’s start with a quick break down of SEO.   According to Moz,  SEO  is the “practice of increasing both the quality and quantity of website traffic, as well as exposure to your brand, through non-paid (also known as "organic") search engine results” (Moz, 2021-a).

What does SEO look like in Practice?: A Case Study of Riverstone Books

These are great questions. “Even for businesses with a local customer base, online visibility is essential” (Kosaka, 2019). Think about where you go when you are looking for something locally. Especially in a post-COVID world, consumers aren’t walking around discovering businesses. But they are spending time scrolling around the internet. “86% of people use the internet to find local businesses” (Kosaka, 2019). So, it is important to have an online presence and SEO helps you get noticed when consumers are searching for you. Last week we talked about creating a consistent SEO practice to compete with overwhelm. This week let’s dig in a bit deeper and look at how a small business is using SEO to its advantage.
