Making your small business stand out online has never been more challenging thanks to the rapid growth of search engine optimization. But it turns out SEO isn’t as mysterious as it might seem. A few simple steps – and an ongoing strategy – could make all the difference to improving your business’ online visibility.
This week on Xero Gravity, we delve even deeper into the world of online optimization, as we chat to Andrew Eager, Director of SEO Strategy at Boostability.
“In the past, SEO was seen as the tactic for any business to be successful. Even a bad business could have great success,” Andrew said. “I really think that that’s changed.”
“SEO can’t compensate for being a crummy business. It can’t compensate for bad customer service. So if you’re not a great business to start, you’re just going to increase the exposure into how bad of a business person you are.”
