Mainly if you are starting new, analyze your effort and check what\u2019s working for you and the place you need to improve.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Engage\u00a0<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once your content starts grabbing prospect\u2019s attention, the next important part is to use conversion tools to capture their information.

Help you to reach the right audience in the right place (Awareness)<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No matter how effective a product and problem-solving services you are offering to users, if the prospects are not aware of them then you are probably losing lots of customers. In today&#8217;s digital world reaching out to potential customers has become easy for small businesses and brands. By offering content that solves user pain points you will start getting recognition from prospects who are looking for the content as a solution.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once they start searching for the solution there are chances that they may come across your web pages and if the page is optimized and written well then they may look for other pages in your website as well. So using an inbound marketing strategy you can reach your customer at the right time on the right platform when they actually need your product or service (as a solution).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Increases Trust and Credibility\u00a0<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Compared to outbound marketing, the inbound methodology helps you to offer more relatable and quality content that prospects are actually looking for. A right inbound strategy never includes pushing your content, product, and services whenever you wish to do it. Today prospects are smarter and know when they are getting marketed by a company. So unwantedly pushing sales can affect your business reputation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Inbound marketing allows you to offer the content that the user actually wants to consume. Through this, you are making prospects believe that your brand is a more reliable resource than those who are continuously interrupting calls and emails and trying to make sales. Once the potential customer starts trusting your brand and business then they will surely come back to you when they actually need to buy the product or services.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Generate quality traffic and leads\u00a0<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Inbound marketing is not limited to just spreading awareness but it also helps brands and businesses to generate quality traffic and leads. Well, it may not give you instant sales but if the content you are creating and offering to your audience is effective and helpful then there are high chances that they may turn into potential leads.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Inbound marketing helps you to attract the maximum number of prospects who actually need your product and services. The whole inbound marketing channels are set up in a way that helps businesses and companies attract quality leads who are likely to convert. That means you are not spending money on something that is gonna bring unqualified leads who don&#8217;t have any interest in your product.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Cost-effective\u00a0<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We don&#8217;t have to mention how costly outbound marketing is for brands and businesses. By spending hundreds and thousands of dollars if you are failing to generate quality leads then all the efforts and the spending can go in vain. As mentioned earlier outbound marketing is effective but only inters of spreading awareness, when it comes to generating quality leads very few people to convert.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, inbound marketing is considered cost-effective marketing that helps businesses and brands generate high-quality leads they are likely to convert as potential customers. Inbound marketing can help you to generate high ROI and if the content and product are too relevant then you will be able to generate double or triple the amount you invested in.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"whatseo\"><b>What is SEO?\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Search Engine Optimization or SEO refers to the practices of optimizing different web pages in the website with a goal to increase the quantity and quality of organic traffic by ranking on the top search engine result page.

So when you optimize your website for search engines you are indirectly optimizing it for users as well. Offering an optimized user experience can lead to better traffic, more clicks, more leads, and most importantly, a higher conversion rate.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Improves your credibility\u00a0<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the key advantages of SEO is that it helps you to improve your website and business credibility among prospects. If your web pages are ranking on the top in SERP then it indicates to the user that google is trusting your website which influences them to trust your website as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not only that but more than 75% of the searchers prefer to go with the website that is ranking on the top in SERP. Google and other search engines understand that the user goes with their preference. That is the reason why they consider factors like on-page, off-page, and other technical aspects to filter and identify the best website that can offer an optimized experience to the user.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>SEO leads to 24\/7 promotion<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most of the ecommerce websites and other websites as well on the internet offer 24\/7 service like anytime a user can come on the website and perform the final action (make a purchase, fill the contact form, and more. SO if you are creating a website for 24\/7 then you would expect the web pages to appear in the search results for\u00a0 24\/7.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By paying a search engine you can always rank your website on the top in SERP but that would cost you $9000 to $10000 per month. SEO helps you to rank on the top in SERP 24\/7. so users can access your website at any time from anywhere. It also enhances the value of your website and your business.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Increases brand value among savvy shopper\u00a0<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In today&#8217;s tech drive work, it&#8217;s very common to expect various savvy shoppers to visit your website and make purchases. Before making the final purchase shoppers tend to conduct a lot of research about your brand, business, and product. If your web pages and company continue to appear in every search on the top then it increases the value of your website and business.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not only that but it also creates their trust in your company. With your content marketing efforts and SEO strategy, you can rank on the top and showcase that you&#8217;re more than a product or service provider. They will start recognizing your website as a valuable resource for industry-related information.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are somehow creating video and investing your time and money in video marketing then you are probably building high authority among customers. So whenever a user watches your video and reads your content then it will make them realize that your business is operating in every channel.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>You don&#8217;t have to pay for traffic<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google organic ranking is totally dependent on its algorithm, if your web pages and website are meeting the google guidelines then chances of appearing at the top for a particular query increase. That means once you are making your website and web pages eligible for search engines it can continue grabbing organizing traffic for free.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However there are costs involved in creating high-quality content like hiring a writer, but if you are writing on your own then you just need to invest some time in researching for content and creating high-quality content.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you make the small investment in terms of time then it will help you to drive traffic for free. But make sure after publishing the content you keep on updating the content so that your competitor does not outperform you and grab your ranking.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"diffseo\"><b>What is the difference between SEO and Inbound Marketing? Are they really that different?\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From the above explanation, you could have determined the basic idea behind SEO and Inbound Marketing. Next, let&#8217;s understand the difference between SEO and Inbound Marketing. The goal behind both the marketing techniques is to drive maximum customers on the website, make the business reachable to the maximum number of audience, and most importantly, acquire more and more customers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But the techniques and process can make both the marketing channels look different from each other. Inbound marketing practices help businesses and websites to convert their site visitors into leads and then into a paying customer which is done through offering high quality and relevant content to audiences. On the other hand, SEO focuses more on driving an abundance of organic traffic on the website by ranking on the top in search engine result pages.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By looking at both the marketing techniques you may think that each one of them differs from the other, but in reality, SEO is not limited to just ranking a website or web pages on the top in SERP. It helps websites and businesses to showcase their product\/services to site visitors, making the business reach the maximum number of potential customers and help people fund your business easily.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Similarly, inbound marketing helps businesses and websites to solve their potential customer problems and make them trust your product and service by offering the answer or solutions they are looking for. Remember SEO can be considered as the component of inbound marketing where content is the common thread between SEO and inbound marketing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is how it goes, an inbound marketing strategy can never be effective without SEO and content. On the other hand, SEO is all about content, without high-quality content ranking on the top in SERP can never be accomplished.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So concluding it in simple words SEO focuses more on attracting potential customers to the website (for free) and inbound marketing practices help the website to convert the lead or the site visitor into paying customers. Both inbound and SEO is considered a crucial part of digital marketing.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"better\"><b>Which is better for your website?\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By now you might have a clear knowledge about what is SEO and Inbound marketing. So next we are going to give a detailed explanation of what is better for your website \u201cSEO or inbound marketing\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to selecting the best between inbound marketing and SEO then both forms of marketing are important for website and business. Without implementing SEO strategies you will never get the top ranking in the SERP and end up losing lots of organic traffic to your competitor. If your website is not using SEO then you&#8217;re probably going to rely either on social media or on the paid advertisement to bring potential customers to your website.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, if you select SEO but ignore inbound marketing then all your SEO efforts can go in vain. Every user and searcher find it difficult to trust every website so they need a reason to trust you and select your web pages above your competitor. So by performing various inbound marketing activities like offering them problem-solving content, interacting with them on social media or their emails you are offering them a reason to trust you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Inbound marketing without SEO can make no sense as it will become difficult for prospects to find your website and even if somehow they come across your web page site will become difficult for them to trust your website. And SEO without inbound marketing can never offer you desired results because users will not stay on the website that does not meet their expectations and even if your web pages are ranking in the 2nd or 3rd position, users will find it difficult to trust your domain.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That is the reason why we said both are important not only for driving traffic on the website but also for encouraging prospects to take the desired action on the website. So both inbound marketing and SEO are important when it comes to establishing trust, credibility with traffic, and conversion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are someone looking to rank your website on the top, drive more traffic and convert them into paying customers then you can always reach out to an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sfwpexperts.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">award-winning SEO and marketing agency<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that can help you to generate maximum traffic and conversion on your website.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"concl\"><b>Conclusion:\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both SEO and inbound marketing are crucial for websites and businesses.
