Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is a very extensive process, the overall goal of which is to “Optimize” a website, or other online property, to perform better in the eyes of Search Engines.
Essentially, a well optimized website will show up for its desired Keyword Phrases on the first page of Google (preferably in the first few results). It is important that you find a set of phrases that are extremely relevant to your website and business as well as phrases that will draw a significant amount of useful traffic (visitors) to your website.
Having your site show on Page 1 of the Google Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs) is critical, especially in one of the top three organic positions. Those top 3 positions receive approximately 58.4 percent of clicks from searches (study from Optify).
Ranking in the number ONE position garners an average Click Thru Rate (CTR) of 36.4 % while number TWO had 12.5% and 9.5% for the THIRD. The number ONE ranking in Google receives equivalent traffic going to the sites appearing in the second through fifth positions.
