As a senior graduating in may, many of the jobs I am exploring and interested in have components related to SEO. I was curious why SEO is so prevalent and why it matters so I read an article for this blog post about why SEO is important. This article went through 10 reasons that SEO matters and I found it really interesting so I&#8217;ll share them in here. The first reason is that search engines generate a lot of traffic. People are constantly using search engines these days so it is a very important way to get traffic and notice. The second reason is that SEO is very cost effective. SEO can cost virtually nothing and bring in immense traffic. The third reason is that search visibility drives brand awareness and authority. The fourth reason is that your companies competitors are probably already doing it. This is a good point, that if you aren&#8217;t actively doing something in SEO to promote your brand, your competitors probably are. The fifth reason is that SEO success supports other marketing efforts. The sixth reason was that you can reach prospects throughout the buying journey. The seventh reason is that optimization efforts can improve the user experience. The eighth reason is that keyword research makes you aware of market trends. The ninth reason is that SEO results are quantifiable. The tenth and final reason is that it helps you protect your brand. Reading this article and these reasons was very eye-opening and helpful for me to understand the significance of SEO today. SEO is vital to the growth and sustainability of any organization and allows for a cheap way to increase brand awareness and grow a company!
