Recently there have been a lot of claims by cer­tain peo­ple that a busi­ness doesn’t need SEO if the site was built up for peo­ple. What on earth does this even mean for good­ness sake!

one of the national news­pa­pers has actu­ally said that they do not ever need SEO because they are rank­ing so well in Google with­out it. Well I have just had a lit­tle peek into some of their rank­ings and yeah they rank in the top 10 for news­pa­per and news but they aren’t in the top 5 which means they are cer­tainly in need of some SEO.

A news­pa­per site is post­ing arti­cles on there every­day at least 5–10 times which means they are get­ting fresh con­tent all of the time how­ever an e-commerce site and to be hon­est most other sites are cer­tainly going to need the help of an SEO. This guy may know some­thing about the web but he clearly doesn’t know every­thing. I could per­haps see his point if they were rank­ing well but the fact is they aren’t doing very well at all which means he is not doing a great job. SEO not needed, fat chance!

Many com­panues that are just start­ing out really need SEO to help them bring in cus­tomers from the web. One of the best things to do is con­tact an SEO engi­neer just to see how much things could be cost­ing you as it is alwasy worth ask­ing. On top of this a lot of the time the prob­lems will actu­ally come from poor web design which is why more often than not an SEO Team will have web design­ers there to help out on the sites they are work­ing on.

I think that in con­clu­sion that it is very rare that a com­pany will not need any form of SEO to suc­ceed and this has been proven by this news­pa­per not hav­ing the rank­ings it could pote­nially have.
