The SEO Expert Driven Passive Benefits of Good Practices We hear constantly about the benefits of SEO (Search Engine Optimization), about how it gets you on Google’s search engine and it drives people to your website. But, these are the bland and overt benefits that come from working on your SEO. There are several other areas where good SEO offers passive benefits that do not instantly spring to mind. Here are a few of them as experienced by a professional SEO Expert. A Better User Experience This is true in some respects. One could also argue that the limitations of SEO actually damage the user experience, but that is less and less true these days. It was worse back in the days when articles were overly long and fluffy because Google wanted longer word counts, and when keywords were stuffed into text like ham in a 12-inch sub sandwich. These days, good SEO helps the user experience through things like pushing people to lower their loading and rendering times, pushing people to remove pop-ups and sticky bars, and pushing people to lower their amounts of adverts. It also helps push people to create mobile-friendly responsive web pages and pushes people to add ALT text to their images so that their pages make sense when the images do not load. An SEO Expert Can Help You Get More Leads This sounds like one of the more overt and active benefits of SEO, but it is a little more subtle. When you optimize your website correctly, you start to draw in targeted leads. More importantly, you start to scare away and alienate people who are not your targeted leads. Simple SEO is about attracting everybody. Clever SEO is about only attracting those who have an interest in your product, services or brand. An inbound SEO strategy can turn into one of your strongest lead generators online. Manage Your Costs Better SEO can also promote better cost management. If you understand your own SEO, you can better optimize your word-of-mouth marketing, your referral marketing, and your affiliate advertising. In short, a well optimized website will convert those who were brought in by correctly optimized hooks (adverts, links, recommendations, etc.), especially when a website’s SEO and off-site hooks are working in tandem towards the same goal. Some people take cost trends into account when they plan their affiliate advertising, but that may be a mistake. Working your adverts in tandem with your web pages is probably the best idea. After all, why would you care about the high-cost and popular keywords if only one of your web pages is optimized for such words.
