Optimizing SEO Strategies: Understanding Conversion Rate (Not just driving traffic!)

In the episode of the 'Simple and Smart SEO Show', host Crystal Waddell discusses with guest Nina Gibson about the misconception that driving traffic results in conversion. 

We talk conversion rate optimization, sales funnel, and nurturing customers through an email list.

If you didn't know, it's important to separate the tasks of driving traffic and converting sales. Incorporating an SEO strategy can make this process way more cohesive than NOT incomporating SEO.

We also talk about setting up websites with a focus on user experience and SEO, how to develop internal linking, the importance of Google Search Console. 

This is a great episode for beginners in SEO and those looking for 2024 optimization strategies for creating content with transactional / commercial intent.
