What Is SEO<br />

and Why It Is<br />

Important<br />

Many ask me: What is SEO?<br />

Why should I care? Well<br />

I have an answer. Search<br />

Engine Optimization is<br />

about making your content desirable for a<br />

specific search engine to serve in queries<br />

as the first result. Search Engines are<br />

programs that retrieve the data that the<br />

user is searching for easily and quickly.<br />

Search Engines serve content based on<br />

the analysis of the algorithms of available<br />

digital assets. Those digital assets can be anything from an app, webpage, a pdf, image,<br />

video, music, books, shopping results, and more. In 2017 I want to challenge you to<br />

think of Search Engine Optimization beyond just Google.com.<br />

Did you know that 44% of consumers start their search on Amazon.com? Did you know<br />

that only 9% of small businesses Use YouTube for marketing purposes? Did you know<br />

that 1 Billion People use YouTube for an average of 40 minutes daily? Did you know that<br />

users watch 46,000 years of content annually on YouTube?<br />

These statistics are very important to understand the value of using these platforms to<br />

reach your target audience. As a CEO, Chief Marketing Officer, Marketing Director,<br />

<strong>Business</strong> Owner, or Entrepreneur it is a fact that it takes 6 contacts or 6 touches for your<br />

target customers to even acknowledge and remember your brand. This does not include<br />

the time it takes for your target prospects to know, like and trust you enough to buy.<br />

In order to speed up your prospects down the buyer experience path it is important<br />

to engage your prospects before the sales process even begins. Whether it is Google,<br />

YouTube, Amazon, Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, or some other<br />

platform with a search engine it is imperative that you get found.<br />

Here are FOUR universal Search Engine Optimization Strategies that apply to all<br />

platforms no matter if it is an ecommerce behemoth like Amazon, Google, or Facebook.<br />

Please remember and implement these best practices:<br />
