Daily Q&A – Day 4 – Sterling Search Engine Marketers

The focus of today’s instalment of the Daily Q&A challenge series may take people by surprise: search engine marketers, why?!

The reality is, the old adage “build a better mousetrap, and the world will beat a path to your door” is not necessarily true on the 21st century web. According to research by vouchercloud in 2015, every day we create 2.5 Quintillion bytes of data, quantity enough to fill 10 million blu-ray discs, the height of which stacked, would measure the height of 4 Eiffel Towers on top of one another.

Great SEO is key to being ‘found’ online

It goes without saying that visibility in online search is a critical factor in the discoverability of businesses, both great and small in 2017 – it really doesn’t matter how good a product or service is if it cannot be found.

So, the search is on for some great Search Engine Marketers, or Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) experts as they may prefer to be called.

Have you ever wondered why some products with fairly bland and generic sounding names are so popular in search engine results?

If you could ask a great search engine expert one question, what would it be? And who would you ask?
