SEO for Local Virginia Businesses
What is SEO?
Search Engine inquiries begin with keywords, however your determined rank is determined by many other factors. Page speed, site responsiveness, site click-thru-rate, original content images, meta tags, schema markup, web snippet description…these are just a few important qualities of SEO.
Search Engine Optimization is the language your site uses to communicate with Search Engines. Your on-site SEO will determine if your site will rank within the 8.5 available spots on the first page. Over 90% of search inquires end on page one. Which means, potential clients searching for your business services will either click on an organic listing (40.9%), choose to select a paid ad (2%) or decide not to click on any listings at all and just start a new search (57.1%).
