Why Baltimore Companies Need SEO

Despite the growing popularity of social media sites like Facebook and Twitter, when people need something online they Google it! This is especially true in affluent areas such as Baltimore, MD - where virtually everyone is tethered to the web! If your company is not found multiple times on the first page of search results, your losing business to better optimized competitors - guaranteed.

It doesn't matter whether you own an HVAC company, a plumbing company, roofing company or you provide services to other businesses, if your target clients and customers are located in and around Baltimore, you need to maximize your first page real estate. There are two ways to accomplish this - Pay Per Click or PPC advertising and SEO.

The Benefits of SEO VS Pay Per Click

If you're trying to get more leads from the web, you should focus on cost-effectively maximize your first page real estate on Google, Yahoo and Bing for keywords relevant to your business. You do this by investing in SEO and Pay Per Click or PPC advertising. The reason why is because PPC ads do not significantly cannibalize traffic from the organic listings (if you have Google Analytics on your website, you can quantify and prove this). People that click PPC ads do not frequently click organic listings and vice versa; in fact, many people prefer only to click organic listings because they perceive the PPC ads as less trust-worthy.

The Pros and Cons of Pay Per Click Advertising

There are two primary advantages of PPC advertising - it's immediate and it's highly controllable. If you set-up a PPC ad campaign right now, you could be getting leads within a few hours. You can also choose exactly where you want your listing to appear on the first page of the search engines.

The disadvantage of PPC is that the minute you stop paying, your listing gets dropped and you stop receiving leads. In other words, PPC is like renting a luxury apartment. There are no residual benefits - the minute you stop paying rent, you're out!

The Case for SEO

SEO campaigns take more time to generate leads. SEO work done today may not impact the order of the organic search results for 2 weeks to 2 months (sometimes longer in very competitive markets). At the same time, SEO almost always has a long-term, residual value. Sites that rank well organically often maintain their high rankings for years after the completion of an SEO campaign. If PPC advertising is like renting, SEO is like owning.
