What is SEO and Why Does it Matter in Motorsports?
Target Audience Online!
The process of SEO is something that every industry can benefit from. A lot of people in the field of motorsports, Powersports, and even RV and watercraft aren’t sure that their target audience is actually online, or they may not even realize that’s where they need to go. Foot traffic is great, but haven’t you noticed it’s a bit light these days? Most people who are shopping, and especially for something like a Powersports unit or vehicle, are shopping with intention. That means they’re not just going to magically appear. They’re going to seek out what they want.
THE LONG AND SHORT
If they’re seeking and your dealership or other Powersports business doesn’t rank at the top of search results, you aren’t going to be found. That’s the long and the short of why SEO matters to your business, and to every business.
WHAT IS IT?
SEO stands for search engine optimization. For those who don’t know, this is a process that involves optimizing your entire online presence-- not just your website and certainly not just your written content-- for the ideal audience. It’s about using keywords, yes, but it’s also about giving the consumer and the search engines substance with those keywords. People want value-added information, a trusted authority in the industry, and a personable brand that they feel like they can relate to. SEO is how you achieve that. Keywords are just the start.
THE RIGHT KEYWORDS!
When you use the right keywords, you will hint to search engines that you have the content that they seek. This makes their job easier, but they’re still going to vet the content before ranking it highly in the results. Therefore, even if you use all the right keywords in all the right places, you might not get the rankings that you want because there’s not enough substance or you didn’t optimize other areas.
TAKES TIME
Of course, there’s a lot more to SEO and it’s a process that takes time and understanding. It also helps if you hire professional SEO teams to handle your campaigns and ensure that your brand has the best strategy in place at all times. It’s about optimizing your website, social media, and other areas where you have an online presence to let people know, without fail, that you’re the best answer for their needs. If you can do that, you will succeed with SEO, and you’ll quickly reap the benefits of targeted traffic and a stellar online reputation.
