SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization... why do we need it? Great question!

Here’s an example...when you are looking for stuff like the Best Burger in town, you’re probably going to use Google. You will may read a few reviews, may or may not drool over some pictures and then choose which burger joint you are going to. Google uses rules of SEO to make sure that your search of burgers do not bring you a list of plumbers instead.
