What is the role of SEO in digital marketing?

Search engine optimisation (SEO) is a marketing strategy that helps you improve your brand visibility in search results, driving quality and organic traffic to your website. Google, that holds the largest search engine market share of close to ninety two percent, processes just shy of one hundred thousands search queries every second, 8.5 billion searches daily and close to two trillion searches each year. 

This shows you that search engines are the best way to advertise your business. SEO is essential in ensuring search engines can find, crawl, and index your website.

What Does SEO Do?

SEO helps to increase exposure about your brand to potential customers that are searching the internet. SEO involves the analysing and implementation of different strategies to help you improve your ranking in search engine results pages (SERPs).

When a user searches for a product or service you provide, you want Google to ensure your business is listed at the top of SERPs, helping the user find your brand and be directed to your website.   While it is not an overnight success story, you want to focus on climbing to the first page of results to get seen by your target audience, bearing in mind that less than one percent of users will click onto the second page of results.

Why is SEO Beneficial to Your Digital Marketing Campaign?

SEO offers numerous benefits, making it an important part in your digital marketing campaign.

Boost Brand Awareness

SEO helps you drive more traffic to your website, boosting brand awareness, and encouraging visitors to make a purchase, turning them into customers. 

Improves User Experience

Google focuses on user experience (UX). Websites that focus on user experience see a rise in their ranking in SERPs. This is because Google wants their users to have access to the highest quality, unique, and relevant content, prioritising websites with high quality content and a good user experience.

Increases Conversion Rates

The traffic arriving on your website have already completed an online search for a product or service. They discovered you, meaning you don't have to work so hard to secure a sale.  This is an outstanding inbound marketing opportunity, enabling you to increase your conversion rates, turning website visitors into customers.

Mobile Friendly Design

When focusing on user experience, you need to take your visitors that use a mobile device into consideration. Having a mobile friendly website design is important, it boosts user experience, but also helps improve your ranking. Google uses mobile-first indexing. This means the search engine uses the mobile version of your website to crawl and index, even if you have a desktop website.

Improved Website Speed

When you use SEO in digital marketing, you incorporate technical SEO, which speeds up your website loading times. When your pages take too long to load, you increase your bounce rates, that has a negative effect on your ranking in SERPs. When you focus on speeding up your page loading times, you improve user experience, increasing click-through rates (CTR) and reducing bounce rates.

Types of SEO

There are a number of different SEO types you need to be aware of and implement on your website, helping to improve your ranking in SERPs, enhancing your digital marketing strategy:

Conclusion

SEO is vital to the success of your digital marketing strategy. It helps potential customers discover the products and services you provide, helping to improve revenue.
