Targeted Traffic & Profits
Before optimizing your site, you may realize that not everyone who lands on your site is interested in what you have to offer. As you optimize your site for the search engines, you may add keyword-rich content or a blog to your site that help people who truly are interested in what you have to say find your business. These are the kinds of visitors you want coming to your site. If they’re interested in what you have to say, there’s a greater chance that they will spend enough time on your site to make a purchase. Getting more targeted traffic through SEO can actually help you improve your bottom line.
Sales Conversions & SEO
Targeted traffic and sales conversions go hand in hand. Sales conversions are the number of people who buy something from your site compared to the number of people who visit your site. If you get a lot of visitors who aren’t considered targeted, they may leave without making a purchase. If you carefully optimize your site and pull in people who ARE interested in your products and services, you have a much greater chance of increasing the number of people who make a purchase compared to the number of people who visit your site. This can greatly affect your profits.

Upselling & SEO
Upselling is when you offer a customer a product complimenting an already completed purchase or you convince a customer to buy a more costly version of the product or service they are interested in. High levels of upselling can have a real effect on the financial success of your business. Optimizing your site will make it more likely that you’ll succeed at upselling because you can optimize your site to bring in one specific type of customer. Once you have your ideal customer at your site, you can target your content and sales copy to their wants and needs. This can help improve the chances that they will buy more than one product or that they will choose a more expensive product over their original choice.
