NEVER underestimate the power of SEO…

Anyone who has a website will be very aware of the phrase “SEO”, but most website owners don’t really understand exactly what “SEO” is, what works and what doesn’t.

I’m a locksmith that offers a 24hr emergency locksmith service covering the Wolverhampton area and my keywords are all related to locksmiths, wolverhampton and emergency services. Sometimes I appear on google, sometimes I don’t.

However, I decided to add a couple of videos onto my website via “youtube” to highlight the dangers of poor fitted locks which I come across on a daily basis and if I come across them then unfortunately so do criminals who are also looking at houses where they can quickly gain entry to.

Then, yesterday, I had a phone call from a guy based down in Sussex who had found my video on google whilst searching for a locksmith, as his front door lock had jammed. He would of never found my website if I hadn’t uploaded the video and I managed to talk him through a couple of locksmith techniques and because he came from a engineering background he managed to open his front door lock.

Did I make any money??.. of course I didn’t, but it certainly highlighted the importance of “SEO” for any website…

Do I understand what “SEO” is???… of course not… but I do know one thing…. Uploading videos onto a website via “youtube” does help.
