Oh no, not another SEO blog post!

Yeah, we get it. The concept of SEO isn’t new. Everyone involved in this business knows everything already so every trick has already been tried. Who has time to write more blog posts, do more social media management, “get your name out there,” ahh what an endless list.

The truth is though, most businesses don’t realize how to use SEO.

Every business must come up with an SEO strategy in order to get found for the things their customers are interested in.

If you sell real-estate then trying to get your site to rank high for the term “real-estate” then that is a lost cause. Just search real-estate and you can see that the groups that come up on top of Google put more daily work into their SEO than most people care to do in a year. Its the nature of the beast.

But SEO isn’t dead

My goodness it isn’t dead. Since Google, Bing, Yahoo, and whomever else you want to add to this list keeps making changes to the way they handle search traffic, then SEO will always be something worth doing. The cheese gets moved on a regular basis so you can either move with it or loose the cheese forever.
