Let's imagine you are an entrepreneur and have recently created a website to promote products or simply share your thoughts/ideas. It doesn't matter the aims that lead to website creation you will need on-page and off page seo services to increase visibility and traffic. An SEO specialist will start by building a strategy based on the website's flaws. The SEO strategy includes keyword research, metadata, technical SEO, and backlinks.
All in all, SEO is the most essential tool to succeed in today’s digital world.

Exceptions are religion and politics, other than that, any member is welcome to start a non promotional thread, and there are experts here, who for the most part remain in the shadows, like New Jersey Vampires (great show)...

Dien and I like to stay in our lanes, although his are much wider than mine, so he has more technology/science under his belt, and can certainly talk of SEO.

MY lane is, in your example, I would argue it DOES matter, a LOT; the reason for creating the site.

If selling. Anything. Then I go back to the reason why that is chosen, and this is where many Entrepreneurs make their first big mistake.

Now there is a really good discussion on SEO, at Warrior Forum and of course, if you are in the business, and making your dough offering SEO services, you will find a huge and ready to buy marketplace.

You will also find you're a commodity, and not a very expensive one.

So, it does matter the reason why you build your website, and IF you need SEO, then of course, you need to find expertise to help with that.

I say, there may be better options, where the Entrepreneur does not need it because of the wiser choice made at the beginning.
