Market Yourself with SEO

Online culture is changing everything we know about everything. In terms of starting a business and marketing yourself, what worked ten years ago may well be ineffectual today. One of the most significant changes has come from how clients discover new information. Going back 20 years, if you needed to promote yourself and your business, you would want to run a marketing campaign that would aim to make you the name clients thought of they needed your skills. 

Obviously, the internet changed that. That said, going back ten years would see you in a world where the internet now widely used, yet budding entrepreneurs would still use similar marketing tactics that focused on creating named brand recognition. Even with the rise of Google, people were still cautious about using random websites and would often be searching for specific brands and people that they trusted or had been recommended. 

By 2020 that has all changed, clients will now trust that using a search engine like Google will deliver the best results and with that change Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) may be the essential thing to consider when marketing for your website. If you make the most out of SEO, you will see a noticeable increase in traffic and engagement to your website as you begin to increase your website’s ranking and its visibility along with it. For a more comprehensive breakdown of SEO in 2020 you can look at hubspot.com.
