Why is SEO so important now that it's going to be 2024? AI is coming along. What's it about with SEO? Why do I need it as a business owner? Why would you need it as a business owner?
SEO now is so important because people, whether they're young or old, whether they are Gen Zs or Baby Boomers, they search in Google. Often we find ourselves searching in Google first before asking friends and families for their opinions, referrals, phone numbers and whatnots.
So if that's the case where people go to Google first, doesn't it tell you how important it is that you appear in the top ten search results? Much more so if you appear in the top five, top three or top one. It's extremely difficult to get the top one spot.
But if you're consistent in doing your SEO, such as most of our clients in SEO Hacker, who have been doing SEO for eight years or more with us, then it's going to be that much easier for you to get that top one spot, and it's going to be that much harder for your competition to get the top one spot.
SEO Hacker as a company, we grew through this way. We rank for our keywords - SEO Philippines being our cornerstone keyword. Clients just come in because companies who look for SEO services would usually type SEO Philippines, and whoever is number one, they would consider to be the best in the industry.
Since SEO Hacker has been there, we've dominated the number one spot for a lot of our keywords, we've gotten so many leads. Right now, we're working with 80 clients, and we're looking at expanding to more hopefully in the years to come.
SEO has been our main strategy, and a lot of our clients realize this. And they also did SEO and it has produced similar results for them. It has grown their business because lead generation is extremely difficult, especially qualified lead generation where people who come to our website fill up the web form, name, email, and phone number. We receive them.
And we know they're already interested. Why? Because they use our keyword. They're already looking for a qualified SEO provider. So for our sales team, what that means is every call they get, every email that they receive, those are qualified leads already. The chances of you closing the deal with that lead is extremely high. In fact, it's the highest out of all the marketing channels, including offline marketing channels. That is how important SEO is right now.
Thirteen years ago, a lot of the big players here in the Philippines, a lot of the big companies didn't know what it was. They didn't care. Fast forward to thirteen years today, the budget for SEO has grown significantly, and every marketing department knows what it is, knows its importance, and it will still continue to grow because the younger generation, they woke up with smartphones, with fast data and with Google. It is their natural way of learning about the world.
And if you know how to do SEO well, you will be able to make sure that they always find you and that you are able to influence them in their decision making process. I hope this video has provided value for you.
