I was analyzing search traffic and conversions generated by blog posts as part of a sales and marketing performance review. Then I noticed the extremely low conversion rate of the search traffic on the blog.

[Clarification: By conversion, I mean inquiries, excluding newsletter subscriptions and white paper downloads.]

I’m cognizant that traffic through blog content is usually less likely to convert because blog content attracts a wide range of people, including ones looking for information. Even with that in mind, it was too low.

If you’re a business — small or large — with a website, congrats, you’ve upped your chances of getting your company a visit, a phone call, or a new client. Prospective clients should be able to reach you through the good old interweb, as anyone with a smartphone (2.6 billion people worldwide) knows a website is the new business card.

So dive in with me, and pick my brain – enter the mind of an SEO Specialist (not a freak, but more on that later).
