Chapter 5: SEO Impact: How SEO Drives Long-Term Results

Good SEO takes time to build – it isn’t something that happens instantly. SEO is important, because with good SEO, your company’s website will rank high in the search rankings, which will then bring customers to your site. And these are qualified customers, in that they were searching for the product or service you provide. One reason that SEO is considered a long term process, is because businesses that are lower down are always working to reach the top, so even if you’re at the top, you need to work to stay there.

Key Takeaways:
