Does a Website Require SEO or is Building a Website Alone Enough?
One of the most important questions to ask, yet 90% never ask this question. The answer is Yes & No… Let us explain.
NO – If you are building a website for only people you are directing to your website by giving them your exact domain name and do not care about attracting new clients online. Maybe you are building a website that is for sharing information or has a private login feature that can only be accessed using a password by a group of people you choose.
In this case, there is Zero need for SEO as your goal is not to attract new clients/visitors or traffic. This site is built for a specific group of people. However, the website still needs to be built using the latest design standards to make sure the look and functionality are easy to navigate and visually appealing.
YES – If your intention is to get found online by potential clients searching for your goods or services. In this case you require both On-Page and Off-Page SEO. These are foundational requirements that help get your business build and steadily grow your online presence. Look at it like this, you have a great looking and highly functional website but if there is no gas in the tank, it is not going anywhere. The SEO is the fuel that allows your website to move forward and get found by the clients that have an interest in your services. Then it becomes the job of the website to convert those new visitors into leads and clients. Without SEO, your website is invisible online like close to 80% of websites online today. So, build it right with good SEO and there is still a ton of opportunity online today.
Additionally, if you are going to do any kind of additional paid marketing, you must have a good SEO foundation in order for those campaigns to be optimized. Want a little more information about SEO, please visit this link https://www.digitalnest.net/seo-ppc/
