Over 90% of traffic to most websites is generated through search engines and according to Internet World Stats there are over 156 million websites online so far. 23% of the world’s population now has access to the internet which is around 1.6 billion users and since the year 2000 the number of internet users has grown by a staggering 336%. It is estimated that online shopping alone is set to quadruple by 2020, when it will account for almost 40% of all retail sales.
Put simply if you are not visible in search engines then your online business will never succeed and flourish because potential customers will never be able to find you and you will be losing a major revenue source for your business. Search engine optimisation is crucial to any online business or company, regardless of market or size.
A professional and highly targeted SEO campaign can make the difference between your business succeeding online, or getting lost amongst the millions of other websites on the internet. This is the main reason search engine optimisation is an essential marketing tool because it helps a website become more visible, which means more traffic which leads to more sales.
