How to Get Found Online with Search Engine Marketing

Without any promotion, it’s unlikely that users from your target market will stumble upon your website. Not only are there more than one billion websites in total, but competitors from your industry will attract prospective customers to their sites through marketing efforts.

One way to bring users to your site is to increase your site ranking on Google. Most users never make it to the second page, so it’s important to get as close to the top as you can. Practicing search engine marketing will help you get there.

A recent Customer Think article talks about the benefits of search engine marketing. According to the article, businesses who practice it are at an advantage regarding their industry:

“The primary goal of search engine marketing is to help your ideal prospects (current and future) find your website and the specific content they need to put you in the consideration category for the products and/or services you offer. Companies that show up at the top of the search engine results page on an organic (not paid) basis have a tremendous advantage over companies that are found deeper in the search results.”

An alternative is to just buy ads on Google, but most users tend to click the organic links — the ones that weren’t paid for. If you want to increase your site traffic for the long-term, then you’ll need to increase your organic reach by getting a better site ranking.

Another important aspect is that by practicing search engine marketing, you don’t bring just anyone to your site. Instead, by picking the right keywords, you can attract relevant users from your target audience. You’ll know that they’ll likely have an interest in your company and in your products based on the keywords they searched.
