Why All Business Owners Should Understand Search Engine Optimization in
Sikeston MO
Small Business Owners Can't Afford Not to Understand
Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
One thing is for certain; Search Engine Optimization is a thing - and it can cost more than running ads if you don't understand it. Similar to changing the oil in your car small business owners often "hire out," marketing services that are marked up significantly. We're talking sometimes 5000%.
​
Outsourcing SEO also runs risk of hiring people who don't truly understand your clients and customers. Combine that with not understanding what SEO really is you run the risk of the wool being pulled over your eyes time and time again.
​
We are not saying that all SEO Companies and Marketing Agencies are bad. Not at all. What we are swaying is that you should have the in-depth knowledge of what you are highering them for.
Unlike tangible products and services, the many facets of SEO are unseen by the untrained eye. This means that many "SEO companies" and "Marketing Agencies," have the ability to really do more damage than good to your marketing budget. Actually, with the correct foundation and a little determination - anyone can learn SEO and forgo paying hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars to compete for search rankings.

You Don't Have to Pay Hundreds, or Thousands of Dollars
For Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
Once you take the time to learn Search Engine Optimization you will come to find that it's not exactly rocket science- although there is a little bit of theory involved. Even more so today, Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is even easier for business owners as the most recent updates to best SEO Practices (handed directly down from Google, TikTok, Instagram, etc) is helpful content written in the voice of real people.
​
AI Search is only going to grow over the next few years, but it too relies on proper Search Engine Optimization to find your business and suggest it to others. If anyone tells you differently they are most likely looking to sell you something that you don't need. AI is not the solution for Search Engine Optimization for any site - in fact, if Google can detect you are using AI to create your content it will lower your rankings significantly! AI is using AI to detect AI written content.
This means the big dogs like Google and ChatGPT are looking for real people, real voices, in addition to the good ole fashion practices of white-hat SEO. There's never been a better time in all of Internet history to be a small business with a digital footprint because without paying for ads, and just a little "know how," your website can rank higher, bring in new customers, and your business can thrive.

Now We're Evolving to Share Our Knowledge
Our owner's actually own a nice directory that offers industry specific training. The directory truly survives off the education provided to the industry but has allowed us to analyze what frustrations small business owners experience with sites like Google Business, Yelp, etc.
​
Yes, we know you absolutely have to be listed on most of these sites as they have traffic to offer. However, what we've learned is that most business owners don't want to rely on the unfair and inattentive corporate giants who would rather rely on documentation that runs in circles than to actually help them. We've heard so many horror stories from our niche directory users - and so, we decided to duplicate our directory and start offering listings to all small business throughout the United States. Maybe even the world one day.
Part of the education we offer at our niche directory is business marketing. Now, that course is industry specific, so we are working hard to recreate the most important marketing courses from our niche directory training and providing it to all small businesses throughout the United States. Honestly, if we can turn a Notary Public service into a multi-million dollar company we can turn anyone into a Rockstar on the Internet.

Ronnie Mickle, SEO Expert,
WIX Legend Partner,
and Successful Business Owner
Ronnie has been in business since 2008. He recounts his first year of business being some what of a disaster contracting his services out to larger companies for 40% of the fees. Similar to how the world works now with websites and aps taking a great deal of small business owners fees. Today there's just a newer, more polished way, of ripping off smaller business owners than there was when he was getting started.
​
Ronnie recounts trying every marketing tactic available, even today. Although today he has more disposable income to take risk. However, the only thing that has rank true in his mind in terms of marketing is his SEO. He believes you don't even need the fanciest website in the world. You just need to be able to be found - yet that's where most people go wrong. They have a website but it's not ranking on Google.
When Ronnie decided to sit down a figure why everyone could find the contracting companies' websites but rarely called him from his own, it was a game changer. Within just a few weeks his phone was ringing with direct calls to the point he could no longer work with any contracting companies. And before he knew it they were calling him a competitor, which felt great!
