Today Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is more important than ever. As the online environment has become more competitive websites that ignore SEO factors are falling to the wayside. <\/span><\/p>\n According to <\/span>Internet Live Stats<\/span><\/a>:<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n source: <\/span>Internet Live Stats<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n From the graph above we can see internet usage is still booming. It\u2019s very easy to look at this and see the potential. And you should. But with that growth has come competition. <\/span><\/p>\n More stats:<\/span><\/p>\n This can seem a bit overwhelming, but there is a silver lining if you look a bit closer.<\/span><\/p>\n The one stat that can\u2019t be found is the most important. How many websites use SEO techniques? If we had a way to measure this on a large scale, I think it would be very revealing.<\/span><\/p>\n Let\u2019s look at an example. Query \u201cboise idaho computer repair.\u201d Now go to page 2. The reason I want to go to page 2 is if there is a lot of competition and it\u2019s optimized then even page 2 will have strong local results. <\/span><\/p>\n Here are the results from my search.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n I\u2019m only listing the top 5 of page 2 of the organic results. Position 15-19 of the <\/span>Search Engine Results (SERPs)<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n I can quickly look at these results and see the competition is very weak. First look at the gray bar that is below each result. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n This is produced by a tool I\u2019m using called \u201c<\/span>Mozbar<\/span><\/a>\u201d a chrome extension. It gives me the <\/span>Page Authority (PA)<\/a> and Domain Authority (DA)<\/a><\/span> of each result. The range is between 0-100 and the higher it is, the stronger the site. <\/span><\/p>\n We can see these are very weak for being the second page. Only 2 have any real authority, and one is a large review site \u201c<\/span>www.yellowpages.com<\/span><\/a>.\u201d Google will include these sites when it thinks it is relevant to a user\u2019s query. <\/span><\/p>\n We can also see that 2 of the results haven\u2019t even customized their meta description. A sign they haven\u2019t invested much time if any to SEO. This tells me their <\/span>on-page SEO optimization<\/span><\/a> is probably less than stellar and they haven\u2019t done any off page optimization<\/a> such as <\/span>link building<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n Now let\u2019s look at a competitive profession with resources. Query \u201cboise idaho lawyer.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n I can quickly see this is very competitive. Notice the lowest DA is 21, and every meta description is complete. Very obvious these sites have been optimized to some degree. <\/span><\/p>\n There are\u00a0distinct differences between computer repair and attorneys.<\/span><\/p>\n If you\u2019re a lawyer in Boise, you are going to need at least a good SEO consultant if you want to be competitive. <\/span><\/p>\n The amount of money and resources needed to rank your site for certain keywords depends on your competition. <\/span><\/p>\n Some factors that need to be taken into consideration:<\/span><\/p>\n Questions like these are going to determine what it will take for you to be competitive. The more traffic potential, the more money involved. The more money involved, the more resources companies have to invest to improve their rankings. <\/span><\/p>\n The potential of SEO can\u2019t be overstated. A good SEO company pays for itself in the long run. If you want search engines to rank you on the first page, then you have to give them a reason too. <\/span><\/p>\n If you want to learn more about what we can do for you, click \u201cRequest A Consultation\u201d below.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section admin_label=”Section” global_module=”785″ transparent_background=”off” background_color=”rgba(255,255,255,0.04)” allow_player_pause=”off” inner_shadow=”off” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”on” custom_padding=”|0px|51.1875px|0px” custom_padding_tablet=”0px|0px|50px|0px” custom_padding_phone=”0px|||” padding_mobile=”off” make_fullwidth=”off” use_custom_width=”off” width_unit=”off” custom_width_px=”1080px” custom_width_percent=”80%” make_equal=”off” use_custom_gutter=”off” gutter_width=”3″ fullwidth=”off” specialty=”off” parallax_1=”off” parallax_2=”off” parallax_3=”off” parallax_method_1=”off” parallax_method_2=”on” parallax_method_3=”on” disabled=”off”][et_pb_row global_parent=”785″ admin_label=”Row” make_fullwidth=”off” use_custom_width=”off” width_unit=”on” custom_width_px=”1080px” custom_width_percent=”80%” use_custom_gutter=”off” gutter_width=”3″ custom_padding=”0px|||25px” custom_padding_tablet=”0px|||” custom_margin=”-50px|||” allow_player_pause=”off” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”off” make_equal=”off” column_padding_mobile=”on” parallax_1=”off” parallax_method_1=”off” parallax_2=”off” parallax_method_2=”on” parallax_3=”off” parallax_method_3=”on” parallax_4=”off” parallax_method_4=”on” disabled=”off”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_cta global_parent=”785″ admin_label=”Consultation – Call To Action” title=”It All Starts With A Consultation” button_url=”https:\/\/www.structuredseo.com\/free-consultation” url_new_window=”off” button_text=”Request A Consultation” use_background_color=”on” background_color=”rgba(255,255,255,0.04)” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”center” header_font=”|on|||” header_text_color=”#000000″ use_border_color=”on” border_color=”#707070″ border_width=”1px” border_style=”solid” custom_margin=”|100px||100px” custom_margin_tablet=”|50px||50px” custom_margin_phone=”|0px||0px” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|desktop” custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding_phone=”|||” custom_button=”on” button_text_size=”20″ button_text_color=”#ffffff” button_bg_color=”#9b0606″ button_border_color=”#9b0606″ button_border_radius=”10″ button_letter_spacing=”0″ button_use_icon=”default” button_icon_color=”#ffffff” button_icon_placement=”right” button_on_hover=”on” button_letter_spacing_hover=”0″ button_text_size_phone=”15px” disabled=”off”]<\/p>\n Not sure where to start?
