Why SEO is Important

Your manufacturing company generates visibility and leads via a variety of modes and mediums. Word of mouth marketing, referrals, and direct selling are certainly key components, but when it comes to reaching new prospects and expanding reach, having a presence on leading search engines is paramount.

While you can spend thousands of dollars a month on pay-per-click (PPC) advertisements and earn traffic that way, you’re far better off taking an all-natural approach. Research shows that 94 percent of clicks go to organic search listings that naturally populate Google’s results pages. In other words, PPC advertising will only do so much for you.

Separate data suggests that it’s not enough to adopt an organic approach to SEO. For your manufacturing business to outperform the competition, you need to outrank them. The search result in the first position earns roughly 33 percent of all clicks, with the second position enjoying a 15 percent share, and 9 percent of traffic going to the third listing. At a very minimum, roughly 75 percent of all clicks go to search results on the first page of Google.

Run a quick Google search for your top competitors. Are they ranking for key search terms in your industry? If they are, this is an indication that they’ve already carved out an SEO presence and that you need to catch up. If they aren’t, this means you have an opportunity establish your brand as the leader.

An investment in SEO is an investment in quality. But if you want your strategy to be successful, you’ll have to leverage the right tools, techniques, and strategies. And if there’s one element that’s integral to modern SEO, it’s link building.

Google and other search engines work by using math & artificial intelligence. Our method for building links ensures we are solving the math equation while avoiding black hat strategies so you can rank for national and local terms.

Trusted by over 5,000 clients and SEO agencies, our backlink-focused SEO services are the best in the business. We can vary how aggressive we build links based on any budget and any scale.

How Link Building Feeds SEO

Link building is the process of creating a web of backlinks – i.e., URLs that link from an external website to a specific page on your website – and leveraging the benefits that come with increased digital prominence. Here’s why link building is so effective:

You can think of link building like the process of expanding a city. As more roads are built from other surrounding cities and towns, there are more ways for people to enter the city. As a result, there’s greater visibility, increased traffic (the good kind), and an opportunity for growth throughout the city.

4 Steps to Effective Link Building in Manufacturing

It’s not likely that your web pages will rank well on Google if they don’t have external links pointing back to them. According to a study by Moz, 99.2 percent of all top-50 Google results have at least one external link pointing to the page. And there’s a .30 correlation between Google rankings and the number of external links to the page (making links one of the highest correlations in Moz’s entire study).

But link building isn’t as simple as going out and pasting links into as many places as possible. First off, you can’t do this. Link building only works with the cooperation of other bloggers, webmasters, journalists, and publishers. Secondly, there’s more to link building than having lots of links. Quality is significantly more important than quantity.

Successful link building in manufacturing requires a nuanced approach with an understanding of your brand, your audience, and Google’s hyper-specific rules and requirements.

Here are some steps you can take:

Google and other search engines work by using math & artificial intelligence. Our method for building links ensures we are solving the math equation while avoiding black hat strategies so you can rank for national and local terms.
