Why Do I Need Search Engine Optimization?

A man named Doug is walking down a busy street in a hurry.  He is stopped in his tracks by a bright neon sign that says the words “Dry Rub BBQ Shipped Right To Your Cousin's House in Indiana”.  This is exactly what he was looking for, so he goes in and makes a purchase.  Sadly, next door your store sits vacant. Although you offer the same service, the wording of your sign and low visibility from the street gave your neighbor the upper hand.  

If you had a flashy neon sign with proper wording like the company next door, you may have gotten Doug’s business.  This is true for your company’s website also. The relevance and placement of words on your web page are great ways to improve the volume and quality of the traffic to your website. Now that doesn't mean  you should start color coding the text on your page and making the design of your site look atrocious. It does mean that proper research should be done to determine what words you should use, how often and where.

The quality of your traffic is more important than you know.  You could have lots of people entering your site all day long, but that does not mean they are staying long enough to get a feel for what service or products you provide.  

Luckily for you, RocketFuel has an answer to your problem, offering many cutting edge services from keyword research to link building.
