Benefits

7 ways SEO will help your business

The top organic result gets roughly 37% of clicks and the second around 17%. On a keyword with 1,000 monthly searches, that's about 370 visits at position one versus 170 at position two. If traffic rises but enquiries don't, the keyword or content needs attention.

  1. Builds a steadier pipeline of interested leads when revenue is inconsistent.
  2. Adds a more predictable lead stream so you reach sales targets sooner.
  3. Converts enquiries to customers at a higher rate than social media and paid ads.
  4. Gives you more time for business and less time searching for it.
  5. Helps you outperform competitors online.
  6. Expands your reach to new customers and locations.
  7. Improves visibility for new products and a wider range of keywords.

FAQ

SEO questions

How much does SEO cost?

Corporate SEO runs about $2,000–$5,000 a month, ecommerce from about $899 a month for start-ups, and company SEO about $1,000–$5,000 a month. Very cheap SEO bundled with hosting isn't realistic.

Do I have to keep paying?

Most businesses reach critical mass after about eight months in non-competitive markets. Pausing for more than six months risks losing ground.

What does an SEO agency do?

It analyses competitors and your site, plans achievable keywords, fixes technical issues, improves content and builds your visibility on and off your site.

Why use an agency?

SEO is technical and most business owners don't have time to keep up. A good agency can break a sales plateau within 3–6 months.

Who does SEO work for?

About 98% of companies. Long-tail keywords help smaller businesses compete.

Is SEO dead with generative AI?

No. Search remains the top discovery channel, and we adapt SEO so you're also recommended by AI tools.
