FINALLY: DON’T BE AFRAID TO ASK FOR HELP

“Although [SEO] looks like it’s free, it’s one of the best investments you can make in your business,” says Couture. Investing in SEO could mean taking the time to learn the tools yourself, hiring an internal marketing person, or getting the existing team up to speed. Or it could mean outsourcing this work to a third-party SEO firm, which can help in different ways. For example, The Trekking Group has hired SEO experts every time it has updated its websites to ensure the SEO work that had previously been done doesn’t get lost. Couture and his team also have attended conferences to boost their knowledge of the subject. At the end of the day, though, your best asset for your website’s SEO isn’t your understanding of plugins or search en - gine algorithms, but your knowledge of the business itself. According to Lannen, “The core principles of SEO—providing value, focusing on user experience, and staying ethical in your practices—will remain constant,” regardless of technol - ogy trends. Remember, your knowledge lends credibility, and credibility is ulti - mately what the search engines want.
