What is SEO

SEO – The One Must Have To Carry Along With Your Other Business Marketing Campaigns

Almost every business nowadays owns a business website. They spend their valuable time and finance to build an outstanding website for a sole objective, that is getting business leads and conversions for their products and services.

But what if your website is buried deep in the search results? What if your potential costumer/client does not see your website when searching your products and services on the web?

All of you may have experienced that, a user running a search query on any search engine merely moves on to the 2nd page of the Search Engine Result Page (SERP). If the user does not find what he is looking for on the first page, instead of going to the second page, he will run another search with a different keyword or phrase.

So how is this possible to make your site appear on the front page of the search engine result page for every search query run by a user related to your business products or services?

The answer lies in Search Engine Optimization (SEO).

  • Once the on-site work is done, the link building work starts. It is what we call the Off-page SEO. In off-page SEO, we outreach to great influencers to get your services reviewed and get a referring link from their authoritative site/blog to your website.

There are many such ways for building backlinks for a website. The most commonly used are: Social Bookmarking, Profile Creation, Citation Building, Classified Ads, Image and Video Submission, Guest Blogging, Guest Posting, Doc and PPT sharing, Article and blog submission and several others.
