What is SEO: Definition and Meaning of Search Engine Optimization?
SEO stands for search engine optimization. It simply refers to the way various websites end up high up in Google search results. SEO is specifically concerned with natural or organic searches, meaning search results that are not paid ads. Many people skip over ads. Normal people running normal Google searches don’t want ads; they just want to see the content they searched for.
When it comes to business, SEO is a crucial component of an overall marketing strategy. That’s because SEO hits so many aspects of online marketing. Someone who runs a search could land on your website from a text search, image search, video search, news article search or many other searches. That’s because SEO is such a broad and far-reaching term. It can include:
- Social media marketing
- Email marketing
- Referral marketing
- Content marketing
- Local search engine optimization
How can SEO affect so many areas of marketing and websites? Part of the reason is developments in technology which have allowed Google searches to become more in-depth. These days, you are searching an entire website when you run a search, including metadata on images, tags on articles and the names of links. Underlying all this are computer algorithms that determine how search engines work and which results they show. Understanding these algorithms is critical for building strong SEO.
That is where we can help. We know how Google works and why it positions some search results higher than others. We’ve also done extensive keyword and backlinking research to understand how those elements can impact our clients’ overall search ranking and SEO. WHen you work with us, you’re working with experienced experts who can take all the burden out of optimizing your business website for SEO.

SEO Marketing Tactics
SEO is a marketing tactic in and of itself, but there are further subtleties to SEO as a marketing tactic.
One of our methods is to position our clients as experts on their products and services. It isn’t enough to just sell a product anymore – people want to be fans of your brand overall. If you sell health products, for example, they don’t just want to buy vitamins and supplements from a cold, faceless store. They also want to see how passionate you are about health and wellness.
In such a case, our strategy for SEO marketing would include creating deep, meaningful content about health and wellness. This appeals to your customers on a more intimate level, converting them into fans of you and your brand.
It also helps with SEO. Google prizes strong, authoritative content. Our team sets out to create such content for our clients in order to position them better in terms of SEO and authority. We take a holistic view that is about more than just dumping keywords on a page: it’s about creating content your fans will truly connect with and value.
Local SEO Strategies
As much as the internet is a worldwide phenomenon, SEO is still a local concern. You may be surprised to learn that many people who run a Google search are hoping to find a business within 5 miles of their home. While this is not always feasible, it shows how much people still value local businesses and establishments when they are shopping online. Being able to go to a brick and mortar store that is located in your town or city is a big bonus for customers.
Whether you are located in a city or not, you can still make local SEO work for you Wherever your business is located, you can appeal to that location, or offer services based on locations. At Logic Inbound, we understand how to make SEO for any company local.
When thinking about your SEO strategy, you want to do more than just rank for broad, general Google searches. You also should research what kind of local searches people are running. In the example of the health and wellness business mentioned above, see what kind of local keywords people are using on this topic. They are likely searching for “Seattle health and wellness,” “New York health and wellness,” “Houston health and wellness,” etc. Even if you are not located in those cities, if you can speak to those local concerns and keywords through strong content, you can still capture those audiences and bring them to your website. Companies that are nationwide but can speak to local concerns will draw in more website traffic and ultimately more business from across the internet. And if you have a physical location that is relevant to your business, then you can certainly leverage that. If you are located in or near a major city, you can speak to the needs of that region and even use your business address as a bit of information that is helpful to your SEO.
