SEO Web Marketing is one of the main factors that will influence how well you reach your customers online.
I remember my first website like it was yesterday. I had already acquired a good, loyal customer base as a freelance marketing strategist and copywriter, so having a website up to get new clients was not really a priority for me at the time.
Still, I suddenly started to feel that I was missing something. And I thought that that “something” was making me look unprofessional. It seemed that everyone I talked to, kept asking me “Do you have a website?”
So when enough clients asked, I finally decided that I had to have this website "thing." More so, because it seemed that all my competitors had one.

My first website failed terribly for a whole lot of reasons. The No.1 reason why it failed, was the fact that although it looked nice and professional, nobody was seeing it.
Not knowing anything about search engines, I created a site that was impossible for search engines to find.
So in return, none of my prospective clients were finding it.
For a while, I thought I had done a pretty good job, because at least when my clients asked me the dreaded question again, I now had a nice website to show them. But I soon realized that a website like that, is not really worth the cost (albeit small) of maintaining it.
A great optimized website can do a WHOLE lot more than just serve as a showcase of your work.
