 Because organic traffic is one of the best converting traffic sources and it’s free.

 Not just that. 

 Ranking in the top of the search engine results page is a sign of trust and reputation.

 People consider that the website that ranks in the top as the website they can trust and do business with.

 Even though SEO requires more effort, takes more time to see results, and comparatively costs more, it is an investment with a high return.

 Because people go to the search engines first when they need something, the number of searches is constantly increasing.

 Approximately 63000 searches are performed in a second.
