Do you want more organic search traffic to your site?
I’m willing to bet the answer is yes – we all do!
Organic search traffic is critical for growing your website and business. In fact, it’s the source of over half of all site traffic, on average, as compared to just 5% from social media.
Some research claims around 33% of your site’s traffic can be attributed to organic search while others say it can be up to 64% of your traffic.
How do you get your new site or blog indexed by Google, Bing, and other search engines? Well, you’ve got two choices.
You can take the “tortoise” approach – just sit back and wait for it to happen naturally, but this can take weeks or months.
Or you can make it happen now, giving you more time and energy to put towards increasing your conversion rate, improving your social presence — and, of course, writing and promoting great and useful content.
I don’t know about you, but I’d rather get my sites indexed as quickly as possible because it gives me more time to build my audience.
