Easy-To-Understand Accelerated Course on SEO in Plain English, Minus the Jargon

If you are a business owner or manager, or a senior executive in a company or organisation, chances are you do not have the bandwidth to execute the nuts and bolts of search engine optimisation (SEO) all by yourself.

But that doesn't mean you should be totally unaware what your appointed agency, marketing staff, or even a hired freelancer is doing.

Therefore it is important that you possess a Strategic Knowledge of SEO that is tested and proven if you are directing your business’s organic growth within the Google ecosystem.

This is even more crucial if you want to implement the Right KPIs to justify any investments into SEO.

That's why Hackalogy created The Essentials of Strategic SEO for Business Leaders and Managers Course, consisting of eight (8) birds-eye-view lessons custom designed just for you.

In this course, you will learn how to integrate SEO into your overall marketing plan without the technobabble. What's more, we will let you in on “trade secrets” that SEO people are too afraid to share.

Why you need SEO

Think of the internet as a marketplace and your website as your storefront. In such a  vast venue with infinite possibilities for competition, how can your brand or business stand out?

A powerful Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) outcome makes it super easy for your customers to find you on Google. That is because your brand or company appears on the front page of the Search Engine Results Page (SERP) when your customers are doing their research for your product or services!

Almost like having the magical power to position your goal post where the ball is coming to.

Creating a website and casting it adrift among gazillions of competing sites won't make your business gain much visibility online.

You will also gain insights into the inner workings of search engines and leveraging SEO tools to save extra marketing dollars on media buys and boost your profits, too.

1. You Need SEO because Organic Search is the number 1 source of traffic

Organic search remained the no.1 source of website visitors for an eCommerce store for a retail brand. It is also the no. 1 channel that contributes high revenue per quarter data. For the most part, organic traffic is driven by SEO.

2. You Need SEO because Organic Search is the number 1 source of revenue

When your target audience is searching for a product or service that your business offers, your site needs to be up there on the search results pages. For sure, your competitors' websites are searchable, and you're losing out to them. Like it or not, SEO drives traffic and revenue, and that's that.

3. Investing in SEO can lead to long-term exponential growth

One of the significant benefits of SEO is that it can yield a high return on investment and drive growth for the business in the long-term. SEO is an ongoing proess that produces sustainable results over time. With a well-executed SEO strategy, a website can frow its traffic, and sales at an accelerating rate.

Once a website is ranking well for high-traffic keywords, it can take less effort to maintain that position than it took to achieve it in the first place. In addition, SEO can lead to increased social media engagement and higher rates of referral traffic.

All of these factors can have a major impact on the bottom line of a business.

To illustrate, below is the result of a 2-year SEO project our agency took on. We were able to rank a high-traffic and intent keyword with 1,000 search volume per month in Google search results in Singapore.

4. Investing in SEO can build credibility and trust

SEO brings your brand to the top of search engine results, making it more visible and accessible to potential customers. But SEO is much about more than just improving your search ranking. It's also about building credibility in the industry and cultivating trust with your target audience.

Nowadays, search engine algorithms are designed to highlight the most relevant and trustworthy results. Hence, by appearing near the top of the search results, your business is seen as credible. Ultimately, the increased visibility also becomes an indicator of your trustworthiness as a brand.
