Why Do You Need it?
You need SEO because the search engine results really matter to your business!

- Only about 3.4% of people will click on the paid ads in search engine results. 70-80% of searchers simply ignore the paid ads. When people do a Google search, they’re usually looking for organic results – the kind SEO can affect!
