If you're running a website, it's important to make sure that you're doing everything possible to optimise your site for search engine optimisation (SEO) because it helps people to find your business online.
Imagine having a shop in the middle of a busy city, but no one knows it exists because there are no signs or directions to help them find it? That’s what happens when a website isn’t optimised for search engines. Without proper SEO, your website gets lost among millions of others, making it difficult for potential visitors to discover your products or services. Good SEO helps your website appear higher in search results, driving more visitors to your site and increasing your chances of making sales or getting inquiries.
