What is the Role of SEO is Web Development?

SEO plays vital roles in your website development, including:

Improves Website Traffic

You can have a beautiful and professionally designed website, but it will be useless if your audience cannot find it, this is where SEO comes into play. When your website shows up in users search queries, it improves your website traffic. These are visitors to your website.

Improves the Quality of Your Website 

SEO is very effective in improving the quality of your website. In order to achieve success, you need to appear on the first page of search engine results pages (SERPs). Have you done a search online? Have you ever ventured to the second page of results? The truth is that only a tiny percentage of users will venture to the second page.  

Following SEO best practices, using targeted keywords, creating high quality content, while providing an outstanding user experience (UX) are all effective ways to improve your ranking, boosting brand visibility and driving organic (non-paid) traffic to your website.

Affordable

You usually have to pay for advertising if you want to promote your website. SEO, on the other hand, does not require you to pay anything. You cannot pay for a ranking with Google, or any of the other search engines. The only payment you will need to make is if you use a digital marketing agency to handle your SEO strategy for you. This makes SEO affordable for any business, no matter the size.

What makes SEO great for website development, is that you can analyse your website performance at any time, understanding your users behaviours when they are on your site. You can see where they spend most of their time, along with sections that they skip. These insights, help you understand your customers, while ensuring you produce content that aligns with their needs and goals.
