Why SEO? Top 5 Reasons

1. HIGH RETURN ON INVESTMENT
Well executed SEO usually carries a very strong return on investment. This is due to the fact that the time and money cost of SEO is more often than not “market driven” or even “return on investment” driven. Pay-per-click marketing, print, radio and television advertising costs are often driven up by overhead and artificial situations such as limited media providers dictating the prices. PPC prices are often driven up because of “bad” campaigns that lose money on PPC month over month, or companies that are willing to lose money on customer acquisition for months or even years.

If your website comes up in the SERPs for keyword phrases that are highly relevant to the types of solutions for which your targeted prospects are searching your site will generate high quality leads and highly profitable clients for your business.

5. AFFORDABILITY
If I am being honest, this answer is redundant to #1, but it is worth repeating and illustrating differently, because it is the best reason for SEO: SEO is affordable. It often has the reputation of being expensive because of all of the very bad SEO done by companies that charge a lot of money and provide very little return. As stated in #1: “Well executed SEO usually carries a very strong return on investment.” The focus of SEO should be return on investment. We have clients that spend around $10,000 a year but generate over $100,000 a year in new business, and others that spend around $100,000 a year but generate over $1 million a year from their SEO efforts. Expensive is when you spend $5
