You know the old adage, to be where your customers are? Well, these days, your customers are online. In fact, Canadians spend more time online per month than any other nation in the world except for the United States, and whether it’s passive browsing through social media feeds or online shopping or booking sunny beach vacations, online users are still and always susceptible to advertising that’s clever, relevant and useful. Advertising like yours.

The question is, is anyone seeing it?

Whether your product is weight loss or tax filing or boat cruises, the name of the game isn’t just to be online, it’s to be found online. Just as a small shop tucked away in a low-traffic corner of the mall might go unnoticed next to the retail giants, so too might your website if it appears too far down in the major search engine results pages. If you’re tired of relying on word-of-mouth and would like the web to start driving business through your (real or virtual) doors, you need an SEO firm that’s going to help you get discovered.

How to get more visitors to your website

Yes, once someone lands on your landing page, they aren’t exactly a paying customer yet. Maybe they’re just looking for information, stumbled across your site accidentally, or are just using you for your blog (that’s a good thing by the way). But all of that can’t even happen at all, if people can’t find you in the first place. The uncomfortable truth for most businesses is that statistically, the majority of all web traffic results from the first page of search engine results. That means when people type in a search query like ‘landscaper in Toronto’, they aren’t going to bother to click through dozens of results; no one has that kind of time. If your business doesn’t appear front and centre, whether it’s because of poor site design or a lack of search engine optimization activities, most people will never find it. Being on page 7 of a search engine or being on page 77, or page 777,777, doesn’t make a whole lot of difference; you’re still in obscurity.

Entrepreneurs with bricks-and-mortar businesses may wonder why it’s so important to be found on the web. After all, if you’re not selling anything online, customers must still come into the store to make a purchase; won’t they just find you through foot traffic or traditional marketing methods such as billboards, radio and print ads? In today’s changing marketplace though, an overwhelming majority of customers go online before making a purchase – to find out more about your story, read about your products and services, compare pricing, check out reviews, and even get your vibe. Whether they can find you on the web – and once found, what you display – can make the difference between a shopper kicking the tires and a customer signing on the dotted line.

Taking your website from obscurity to centre stage requires custom tailored SEO strategies that are based on cutting edge techniques proven to achieve results for your business. It all starts with understanding who’s actively looking for you (and who might be, with a little persuasion); what exactly these people are looking for; and how they’re going about finding businesses like yours. True, getting site visitors is just the beginning, but it’s an essential beginning without which building customer loyalty just isn’t going to happen.
