Most business owners we work with have heard about SEO, but are not sure what it is or why they need it.

SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) is all about where you show up (or rank) on search engines like Google.

Statistics show that 76% of people will not look past Page 1 of Google when searching.

The goal is to to appear on Page 1 of Google when your keywords are entered by prospective customers. Your keywords are simply the search terms people type in to look for you.
