For any online business or eCommerce website that relies on Google to drive conversions, SEO will be the cornerstone of your online digital marketing operation. If it is not, contact Myk Baxter Marketing today to ensure you’re making the most of this service. 

As Google’s various algorithms and rules continue to change, certain approaches to SEO become more or less powerful depending on the direction the mega-business decides to take. Unfortunately, we must follow suit, whether we like it or not. If you are not on top of these changes you may even be penalised by Google as a result – something no online business wants.

In 2020, Google’s rules have changed (as they do every year) and as COVID-19 continues to affect the lives of billions across the world, internet users are also using Google in new and different ways than ever before. 

When it comes to SEO statistics, there is a lot of information there and unless you’re employing digital marketing experts like Myk Baxter Marketing, you may be at a loss of what these statistics mean for your business and how you can utilise them to increase your brand’s presence online and increase conversions.

Although there are many many stats out there, here are a few facts about SEO and the statistical trends they identify that prove SEO management as a crucial element to the success of any business online.
